[Misc] Only in America - 26/10/23 another mass shooting

[METALMICKY]

Thoughts and prayers will work this time, I'm sure of it.

Just checked my supply of ' thoughts and prayers ' for US gun massacres and it's tragically empty.

What would happen if a local found him and shot him dead ?
And don’t be flippant ….

If I use a flip phone (mobile) is that flippant?

Truly, if this guy, Card, was threatening to use his gun again and was shot dead the person who shot Card would become a national hero for about a week.

Really, mine is also, and these are my fellow countrymen getting killed. I really hope (and PRAY!) that the politicians will eventually get past the minority making their own rules and stop electing crazies.

They were killed in the London Bridge terror attack, seconds apart. So why did their families get wildly different payouts?

Following the killings in 2017, relatives of victims were entitled to compensation. But just how much, it turned out, would vary by as much as hundreds of thousands of pounds. Why is one life worth more than another?

Interesting article about compensation levels in terrorist attacks but contained this which I was unaware of, and shows how chuffed the situation is

"Gun-makers are legally protected from being sued in the US if their guns are used in a mass shooting, but nightclub and hotel owners are not."

Absurd.
