I don't get it. I don't even know what to say about this stuff anymore.

Pissed of former employee.
Sad story. I didn't watch the video because that's just not my thing. Heard that the shooter was shot but in critical condition. Wasn't clear whether the police shot him or if it was self-inflicted.

This has been all over the news here. Alison, the female reporter that was killed, was a 2012 graduate from the university at which I am employed. She was an editor on the student newspaper and an intern at our local news station. The gunman fled up the interstate here and local school systems were on lock down as well as buildings near interstate ramps (ours included).
The suspect shot himself while running from VSP on I-66. VSP attempted a traffic stop and he fled for a time before crashing. When the vehicle was approached, he was found with a self-inflicted GSW.

Former employee. Said this was a response to the race war that the Charleston shooter wanted to start. Claimed he put the initials of the Charleston victims on his bullets.

But sounds like its what set him off and mentions the letter.

It's been an interesting week. Freshmen move-in was yesterday. We had a 14 year old killed in the community while cleaning a firearm, a murdered body dumped on the train tracks less than 100 yards from campus, and now this.
It's a lot for a community of 30k without students and a 20k student population.

Meh. I'm becoming desensitized to it. Par for the course for 'Merica. Think that's the 2nd or 3rd shooting I've come across the past week.
Oh well, sympathies for the families. Nobody deserves to bury their children.

Yea, with how fast news develops, especially with a lot of his stuff being on social media, you have to play it safe with confirming things. I think they had some issues with the Aurora one.

Why does this shit only happen in the U.S. this often? Why don't other nations have this issue? What are we doing wrong?
LFG

We may have more frequency, but misplaced violence is not uncommon everywhere.

It only gets reported here for the most part. We aren't doing anything wrong...other than plastering the killers' faces everywhere and everyone knows their names and it's a sure fire way to get attention...

If you want to look at gun violence as whole even then I don't think that sentence is the problem. |
