Another shooting.

[Wolf Hunting]

Keith Self another Republican representing Allen, said on CNN that 'critics who are calling for more than 'thoughts and prayers' don't believe in almighty God, who is absolutely in control of all our lives'.
'I would like to stay away from politics today and focus on the families'.
That's right Keith, give them your prayers, your thoughts and best wishes, careful with the prayers though, because Almighty God, seems to have dropped the ball here...

 

[Keef]

God dropped the ball, because yesterday he was busy saving the king, and you should know by now, that right after a shooting is never the best time to talk about it because it politicises them, trouble is with them happening every couple of days it’s never the right time

2 dead in a shooting inside a Mercedes Benz factory at sindelfingen Germany

Christ, can’t believe I liked this thread better when it was just the US in the spotlight.

Not quite a mass shooting, it's only 3 dead and lots injured as an 18 year old took 3 guns inc an AR style firearm into a housing neighbourhood in Farmington, New Mexico. Started firing from all three guns killing 3 people and injuring a number of others.
Details are in short supply....
Needless to say thoughts and prayers are with the destroyed families.

 

[Keef]

Weird isn’t it, now counting only 3 dead as not a mass shooting, and wondering whether it fits the thread

Thoughts and prayers, the thing that keeps America great

The other day someone fired off some Roman candles or something in my neighborhood. People started shouting (what turned out to be the normal "huzzah"-ing of shooting fireworks) right after the *pop* *pop* and I have to say, it really affected me.

You just don't know when it's going to happen to you, ya know?

Just saw a table....
it's the 18th of May and so far in America there have been 41 shootings.
Now in about 6 or 7 there were none killed but 6, 4, 10 etc were injured.
On May the 5th, there were about 6 incidents scattered across the country and May 7th seemed to be a bad day too with 7...

I know its not a laughing matter, but I just thought this was poignant

 

[Keef]

9 injured 0 dead, I repeat 0 dead in a shooting between two groups on Hollywood ocean boulevard 20 miles north of Miami.
263rd mass shooting in the USA this year!
We’re only 150 days into the year.

 

[Alan]

No one died, doesn’t count.

“Two groups” => blame it on drug dealing probably

 

[Keef]

I’d assumed it’s drugs gangs, Miami and all that, equally could have been bud light drinkers getting hassled by real beer drinking maga hat, big pick up types, Florida and all that.
Bit harsh on it not counting, I have thought no deaths counts as a win.

 

[Alan]

Joke in really poor taste.

Guess I’m a smidge desensitized.

Tiny incident where someone SHOULD have got shot!
Last week my wife told me about a 9 year old girl found a gun down between the cushions, gun went off and she died.
Parents or one of them should be taken out and shot.

Not America or a shooting but some wanker has gone on a knife rampage in a park in France stabbing several people who are in a critical condition including a 22 month old baby FFS. Who or what can do that to a beautiful, harmless little baby?

One shot, one drop, one block from me. Again.

Charlotte has way more bad areas than good areas friend as of course you know. Its just a shame, it really is. I live very close to Winston-Salem and already their homicide numbers this year are significantly higher than they were at the same point last year.

Yes, easy access to guns needs to be rectified for sure. But its also the culture these people grow up in, especially in urban neighborhoods that the idea of a gun toting, rebellious, law breaking, 'Gangsta' life is the way to go.

Some decent programs I know of that go into these neighborhoods to try to get these kids when they are young to take a different path, but obviously not working the way they should.

Just depressing.
