The blase/cynicism in this thread says a lot really. What a sad state of affairs when everyone just go's ho hum as you were. Just another day, another mass shooting. Hey ho gun crime, knife crime acid meh
Been like that for a while now. If Americans don't care about shootings over there, why should anyone else?

Yes it is a sad observation

Our nations capital is rife with knife and acid crime and no one says a dicky

But a gun goes off in America and the hand ringers are out in force

Yes, sad indeed

Not that knife crime and acid crime has anything to do with mass shootings but I think this issue has been hitting the headlines a lot recently or certainly thats my perception. Clearly simultaneous mass murders will always get the most column inches and these to be fair are far less likely to be perpetrated by someone using a knife!

Bloody Worthing!
Waiting for someone to use those figures as fact that the more lax the gun control is, the lower the mass shootings. The map proves it. Arm everyone, sorted

The movie 'Idiocracy' is on Film Four tonight. The synopsis is below but sometimes - on occasions like these and when listening to Trump - it really does begin to sound rather more contemporary than 500 years henceforth.


Idiocracy is a 2006 American science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge and starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, and Dax Shepard. The film tells the story of two people who take part in a top-secret military human hibernation experiment, only to awaken 500 years later in a dystopian society where anti-intellectualism and commercialism have run rampant, and which is devoid of intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, and coherent notions of justice and human rights

That's when they stab each other with a joke knife where the blade goes up inside the handle

I believe you have to deduct illegal immigrants from the total death count before you find the real number of mournable victims, so it is pretty complicated.

And when the guy kills himself at the ends its like it never really happened at all :shrug:

So this wasn't a planned attack, the guy was just angry he got knocked out of the tournament, so he shot people.

Such a ****ed up country.

In many ways this sort of incident is worse than a planned attack.

In the rest of the world when someone gets angry they might shout a lot, swear a bit and if it's really bad throw a few punches.

In the USA people can just pull out a gun and start shooting, and people are dead before you realise what you've done.

****ed up indeed.

If you cut 20,000 Coppers, something has to give.

A very flippant comment. The rise has more to do with gang culture and drugs. Mainly they kill each other and that's fine with me, it's when it extends to innocent people there's an issue. Unless you have police on every street you will not stop it but similarly you, I and our families are unlikely to be caught up in these crimes (of course there are a small amount that are unfortunate) unless we or they are involved in the gang/drugs culture.

My daughter lives in London, works as a teacher, her future husband is black, whilst he isn't anyway involved in the gang culture and his direct family are all in good jobs, solicitors and alike, he has said to me he knows personally a lot of gang members and some have been stabbed and a few have stabbed others. He is very close to it but in the same instant miles away. Its a very close culture.

Like a lot of issues the change has come from within, the authorities have very little influence.

Exactly my point.

As there's not a lot of good news around, this might as well get thrown into the mix, as well:-

Pittsburgh shooting: Multiple casualties at Squirrel Hill synagogue

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46002549

At least eight people have been killed, US media say, in a gun attack on a synagogue in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

8 Jews killed at a Bris, killed by a Neo-Nazi shouting "All Jews Must Die".and you decide to ramble something incoherent about bicycles.

Each to their own.
