Fox News

Just saw it pop up. Terrible.

USA Today with a little more detail.

Thankfully not a school shooting but still terrible. If a mod would be so kind to edit my title?

 

[BronsonLee]

Goddammit. I hate this year.

 

[ReadingRambo]

Hopefully not a school, it's common to close/lockdown schools nearby shootings.

 

[TimeEffect]

Another one taken into custody. That's good, right?

Is this a big news story? I feel it's so common that it gets overlooked now

 

[Rebel Leader]

Strange FNC isn't talking about this

 

[dave is ok]

The past 5 months has been a cavalcade of terrible news.

 

[Burli]

FUCK April.

 

[Blablurn]

Terrible :-/

The pastor of Manchester Baptist Church told NewsChannel 5 that the murders happened inside a public housing complex on East Street Wednesday morning.

Not in a school but a lot of them are sill on lockdown.

 

[Az]

wtf, this is out of hand..

 

[x-Lundz-x]

I couldn't tell by the news story because Fox News was the only one I could fine with the story up yet. With the schools being locked down I thought it might be the case. Still horrible though.

I still wonder why americans want to keep their guns. What a weird country.

 

[TacticalFox88]

RIP, but America, you made this bed.

Time for you to lay in it, until you're ready to change the sheets.

We don't. There is overwhelming support for stricter gun controls by every poll taking. It's the NRA's stranglehold over congress stopping this sadly.

because guns aren't the problem, americans are.

You know who else wanted.guns taken away? Hitler, Stalin, Mao...

 

[Tawpgun]

Guns guns guns guns.

The article makes no indication that it was a school shooting, so you may want to wait a bit before using this story to reinforce your narrative.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

What's up with all the crap going on in the US?
Why is everybody dying left and right?

This is seriously terrible

 

[Metalmurphy]

You know who else wanted.guns taken away? Hitler, Stalin, Mao...

Dumbest argument I've ever seen on GAF, and I've seen some pretty dumb ones already.

 

[Willkiller]

What on Earth are you trying to say?

Is this a joke or is the joke you?

Agreed.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Americans with guns are the problem.

Please be sarcasm...

 

[shadowsdarknes]

We as a society aren't necessarily all too much more violent than a country like the UK.
However, when you give a violent society access to more deadly weapons, deadlier outcomes will occur.

To say that gun violence is a product of Americans being violent is really just deceiving and not true.

Americans with guns are the problem.

But why not just outlaw knives then! If someone wants to kill, they will find a way to do it!

Oh yeah, because the mass stabber in China managed to stab 20+ people and kill none of them!

First they came for the bronies and I did not speak out, because those people are weird.

 

[jstripes]

Events like this make many of them want guns even more. It's a vicious cycle.

Watch the last 2 daily shows. They are covering this is epic fashion.

 

[seanoff]

bloody hell. 5 people is a lot in that place. it's tiny.

oh well. another day another multi fatality shooting in the USA. doesn't even make news any more.

This is the douchiest thing I have read in awhile.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Really? Why? How many people died because their guns were taken away and weren't able to fight back against a tyrannical government?

You could have all the guns you want, if the US government wanted to become tyrannical, a bunch of idiots with guns aren't stopping them. Your argument is bad and you should feel bad.

Do you really expect to fight back against the government with your handgun?
I feel like talking about fighting back against the government with physical force should be considered treasonous.

The US have a tyrannical government now? This isn't North Korea.

Sorry to break it to you like this, but the whole "farmer with a shotgun is the strongest dbz character" thing is actually just a joke.

This. They are not sending in a bunch of guys with guns to fight more guys with guns, they are going to be sending in armor, air support, and god knows what else if they wanted to.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I don't listen to Alex Jones. How would history have changed if the Jews fought back against Nazi Germany? Look at what happened when we fought back against the British.

 

[Milchjon]

You just made me laugh out lout in public.

Because clearly that is the case in these shootings.

I don't know if you're posts should make me laugh or cry.

Are you comparing the Nazis to the US government now?

This gotta be a joke.

I'll continue the bedding analogy by saying thanks for the blanket statement.

I think you guys are being expertly trolled.
