Yet another US shooting

[welshbairn]

The comments below the tweets by the Sheriff above are full of people saying it happened because California has stricter gun laws than states like Texas, so the people shot likely didn't have guns to protect themselves.

[Mr. Brightside]

I see they're back to blaming video games for mass shootings.

Fairly standard thicko responses.

Nevada (right is next to California, in fact in Tahoe the border is in the middle of the main street) allows guns to be owned, no permit is required, and no additional permit required to carry a gun openly.

its not like the police are stopping and searching people crossing state lines.

There are so many nearly identical replies "Thoughts and prayers with the families but it wouldn't happen in a free to carry state" that I think they might be NRA bots.

There's a wee part of me hoping that the NRA get their way - everybody tooled up to the nines with military-grade weaponry, and laws changed to allow people to murder someone if they "feel threatened". Y'know, just to see how they try to bullshit their way out of the chaos of urban warfare breaking out in every Wal*mart because Karen didn't like the way the cashier looked at her when she demanded to speak to the manager.

Fucking awful for anyone who doesn't literally want to live in The Forever Purge, right enough.

Did you not have to play Faires wear Boots backwards or some shite? I only had it on tape so just spun it backwards on a pencil to get the full evil message.

Aye, yon Mary Whitehouse wasn't much of an Ozzie fan.

On 23 December 1985, Raymond Belknap (18) and James Vance (20), after a long alcohol and drug binge, made a suicide pact to kill themselves with a shot gun. Where Belknap succeeded, Vance failed to take his own life and blew away the bottom part of his face leaving him grossly disfigured.

When it later transpired that the pair had been listening to Judas Priest that afternoon, the parents saw someone they could blame for the tragedy. Judas Priest were taken to court in 1990 and the parents claimed that there were 'subliminal messages' in the music that encouraged the boys to commit suicide; such as "Try suicide," "Let's be dead," "do it, do it, do it." The band made a point of testifying in person at the proceedings, where they merely pointed that if they wanted to use subliminal messages in their music it would be tell the kids to buy more records

To be fair “Unhinged Racist B*stard 2022” could be a little more moderate.

I blame Marilyn Manson for inspiring this kind of thing and Alice cooper for inspiring Marilyn Manson

Power to the NRA!! Americans. Absolute nutcases and getting worse.

[djchapsticks]

f**k. Hearing it is primary school age  children just brings back all sorts of horrific memories.

These attacks are always horrendous but little children makes it so much worse.

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

No doubt Abbott will have plenty of thoughts and prayers for the families affected.

You can't help but think about Dunblane at a time like this. That was, without a doubt, the saddest event of my life. Absolutely awful that others have to experience such a tragedy.

[BillyAnchor]

It's just freaking awful, so over this crap.

They have to start arming 5 year olds, it's the natural next step after church goers and supermarket shoppers.
