It's the community that collects there egging him on that is the problem.

And the celebrations?
For clarification in case you're worried about your precious site, I'm talking about the members and not the site itself.
the site supports and encourages several vile sub-communities and the culture that springs up around them
they are far from blameless

In the end if he didn't have access to guns people wouldn't be dead.
Fuck 4chan I hate that site. Fuck the people that made those comments. I put them right with the shooter. Just wanna make sure you understand I'm not giving 4chan anything.

Is that sarcasm?
WTF is he supposed to say? "I feel bad for you. Too bad there's nothing that can be done about this. Talk to you in a month when it happens again. Peace!"
'My precious site' lol all i care about is the media not trying to blame it on a website and ignore the bigger issues at hand.

When you are one of the most powerful people in the world and have to stand by powerless as watch mass shooting after mass shooting happens; I'm sure it gets to you.
Yes, a true leader would make no attempt to root out the underlying cause of the historic string of mass murder that this country has endured. His primary goal should be to appear humble and not challenge anybody or anything. Times of crisis require absolute silence from leaders, it's the only way to assure that no feelings are hurt.

That 4chan page was chilling. Truly some sick minds.
for those wondering what Obama was talking about when he said other countries responded to mass shootings
1996 shooting at Dunblane. 16 children and 1 teacher killed. The UK banned handguns after that.
it works.
edit: wrong thread but I'm leaving it here.

Well unfortunately the stuff on the board revolving around this shooting is highly visible and disgusting, so it will be part of the media conversation. Gun lobbyists and ignorant citizens prevent it from going much further.
There were people who egged him on, but it's more than likely none of them actually believed him. Same when someone posts on /v/ claiming to work for Sony or Bioware. Nobody actually believes them and posts ridiculous responses.
However their reaction to his actually following through is just bizarre. I've never gone to that board, but from the look of that archive, the vast majority of posters there are total arseholes.

I'm asking if there's a link though I haven't decided if I'll look yet.

NY Times says he allegedly asked a classroom to stand up and have people state their religion before opening fire.
16 kids, and I'm sure the fact we've never had another massacre since has been a coincidence.

CNN is saying that they found a cellphone and found all his online profiles.

I live in Baton Rouge(one of the loosest gun law states in the country. Ironically with a gun death rate worse then Mexico to go with it) so if I didn't look past some of the people I associate withs views on guns I would be a pretty hated person around here.

This shit is fucking ridiculous, so sad to hear about this. Thoughts and prayers to the families affected by this.

Yeah, pretty much.
At the end I thought he was going to literally say "see y'all next time."
It's good to see NBC is still on like page four of the GAF thread.
Come on, I'm not trying to say he was actually a normal dude, but in the context she was using, she made it sound like having a Youtube account and a Snapchat was some bizarre behavior.

Watching CNN talk about 4chan without actually trying to talk about 4chan is hilarious.

I only just heard about it this morning on Australian news, so bloody tragic.

That's fucking ridiculous. How many more people must die before gun laws receive major reforms?
Yep because the problem is never because of the abundance of guns or the ease of access to them.

Laws that get a fuckload of people killed every single day are so fucking better.
Yeah, it's worrying. I don't like it at all.

You should see CNN.
Same deal with the Port Arthur massacre in Australia in 1996. Roughly 1 mass shooting a year in Australia in the ten years before 1996. Guns laws enacted. Hasn't been one since.
Leave it to the mainstream media to consistently miss the mark of where the discussion should be. Anonymity on the internet wouldn't of prevented or lessened the death toll at Sandy Hook or Columbine....tougher gun laws probably would of.
Doesn't matter. You could drive across the country and do a mass shooting in every larger City, and there would still not be a change of laws

CNN is gonna get Anonymous'd. :/
And figures people were just trying to troll that Eggman guy.
Until they can get solid information, they are going to harp the same rhetoric they have on hand. During the Boston Marathon incident, I was basically drowned in nonstop coverage of everything for weeks. Becomes immensely depressing fast.
I'm getting a shot. Anyone else want in?

I really don't know what to say anymore. I mean I could be outraged and demand gun control laws, but what's the point? Nothing will happen. Nothing will change. At this point, the only I can think is the sooner I get out of this country, the better.
