Hey, at least we've upgraded our "murder simulators" to "murder, construction, and scavenging simulators".

Trump decries white supremacy, video games following shootings
The president had floated linking changes to background checks with immigration reform, but made no mention of that proposal in his televised address.
Trump is now throwing his weight behind the claim. Might want to update the OP

I remember playing DOOM as a kid and all of sudden Columbine happened. Ever since then I hate having to hear about those two shooters every time I read a documentary on the legacy of DOOM and id Software. It was an awful tragedy to have happened, but we kept having to hear about how they played DOOM.
Spukc
was thinking what I was thinking
i was into DOOM and i even made a level based on my school. i had the idea because they passed out maps of the school, and it was easy to just trace that as an exercise. thankfully i never told anyone, or i would have gotten profiled, maybe even radicalized into doing something. i was also in the Art Club and friends with people that listened to Marilyn Manson and wore trench coats (the Matrix had just come out) so I fit that stereotype. the stigma was very strong back in the 90s.
If you think the ESA wields more power than the NRA in DC then you're not really thinking.
"national news channels don't report on it. Outside of maybe Fox News" smh, come on man. All you had to do was google it.
Chicago hospital stops accepting patients after trauma center is overwhelmed with shooting victims
Chicago's Mount Sinai Hospital temporarily stopped accepting patients Sunday morning because they were at capacity following a series of shootings, a hospital official said.www.cnn.com
Don't do that. If you are going to say "don't report on it" show some proof, give a link or something, but when in mere seconds I can find the information from a NATIONAL NEWS CHANNEL, it doesn't help your point, it shows you are running on talking points vs facts.
"Why aren't the Ohio shooter's?" Because its likely unknown at the time as we've already seen this about him.
Dayton, Ohio, shooter kept a "hit list" and "rape list," classmates claim
Police said there was nothing in the background of 24-year-old Connor Betts that would have prevented him from purchasing the .223-caliber rifle with extended ammunition magazines that he used in the shooting
Plus consider them talking about one political beliefs vs another doesn't disprove the point being made, it simply means the other likely didn't have a political belief that lead to this or is part of their reason for killing etc. Its unknown right now.
"Chicago murder rate isn't widely reported on because Chicago is a democrat stronghold" Yet why did CNN just cover that story on the hospital not talking in shooting victims? So not everything is a conspiracy Stop using that city as this excuse to not talk about a how to lower the mass shootings in the United States, if anything that city should be the biggest reason to actually talk about it in the first place.
So gang warfare is different then a terrorist attack, but both must be addressed, not bickered about to try to silence another side on whataboutisum. Dear god, how does that help America? Could you imagine if someone tried to cure aids and your response was "wow the cancer rate isn't widely reported on because Chicago is a democrat stronghold" and or "Why is only the aids cure being talking about? Why not cancer?"
I don't know, who stated it was an either or and MUST ONLY focus on 1? Yet you folks wonder why this country can't get anything done....
We as a nation should be talking about how to fix this situation, not how to play whataboutisum.
A buy back program could help all of the US even Chicago, closing those loopholes regarding states having loose laws with buying weapons, actually reinstating the mental illness check requirement that Obama passed in 2013, banning certain weapons that just have no place in a modern society while still allowing handguns, single bolt rifles etc. There is a lot we can do as a country.
Look at Australia, they have a rich gun culture, love hunting, was able to have a buy back program for certain guns while keeping other guns deemed ok and still have best of both worlds. Please, this doesn't need to be this massive either or.
Enough of the whataboutisum. Be honest with the issue going on in the country, its the only way we can actually lower those deaths, we can't fix a problem if we are denying it exist, blaming video games, bickering about sides etc.
They are both blaming gamers in general though.The republicans blame video games.
The democrats blame goobdyglape
Unironically the internet and media/social media.

"you found ONE article" I found many articles, I only linked 1 as the point was simple, it was covered nationally on a news network, why would I need to list all of them?
Weekend Of Chicago Gun Violence Strains Hospitals; Leaves 55 Shot, 7 Fatally
Chicago hospitals were stretched to breaking point on Sunday morning, after 18 people were shot in three hours.www.huffpost.com
2 Chicago mothers who worked to stop violence killed in drive-by shooting
Chantel Grant, 26, and Andrea Stoudemire, 36, were shot Friday night in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood. They both volunteered with Mothers/Men Against Senseless Killings.
Disturbing audio of deadly Chicago shooting released after violent weekend leaves 7 dead, 52 wounded
51 seconds of the sound of seemingly unending gunfire was released by Chicago Police Monday after a slew of shootings left seven people dead across the city.
I don't know why you thought me only listing CNN was some goalpost to then try to make it seem as if it was the only other place, its not...I just figured you'd get the point and just look it up yourself instead of lying about something that can be easily disproved.
"let's look at their homepage" ??? You are now goal posting because it was disproved that many covered it, now its "look at their homepage"? Whats next, you going to start counting the words per article to then argue about that? What is this whataboutism even solving for you or the country?
So you where wrong that they didn't cover it, many did, you are only seeking to further argue about goal post as you might start with "lets look at how many words per article" or "lets look at how many tweets" or "lets look at how many facebook post" etc.
"hasn't been an article written on cnn.com about the Chicago shooting rate within the last few months. Maybe even all year."
All year?
Chicago's first warm weekend of 2019 ends with 24 shootings and 5 murders
It was the first warm weekend in Chicago, and just as feared, violence spiked, with 24 shootings across the city and five murders, police said.
Chicago violence that saw 52 shot, 10 fatally, over weekend requires 'all hands on deck' approach, top cop says
A confluence of factors led to 52 people being shot, 10 fatally, in Chicago over the weekend: gangs, drugs, an ineffective justice system and a season that too often ushers bloodshed into the city, the police superintendent said Monday.
I don't know what to tell you man, you've basically made up your own reality and now are proceeding to argue against facts, things that easily can be looked up. I don't know why 1 news network covering shootings in Chicago or not or how many words written or how many are on the front page (ignores 3 mass shootings happened in 7 days) or what ever, has to actually do with proper gun reform and legislation to lower those deaths.
You only want to talk about whataboutism man, thats is clear with your obsession with CNN and how many times they did or didn't talk about a cities shootings.
"Both must be addressed yet they aren't." That entire ending of my last post was addressing the gun problem in America, that can solve both issues bud, its not an either or. What I'm suggesting could correct and lower both in regards to death toll, you just want to talk about CNN and conspiracy theories...
"I bring up the "gang warfare" violence and you immediatly try to shout it down" Nope, I said we need to talk about solutions vs this either or crap, those solutions solve both issues as both issues are linked.
" Image if someone tried to cure aids and someone else said, "The cure to aids is very important but why isn't there any attention being placed on cancer when far more people die from cancer each year?" and then your response was, "That's just whataboutism!" smh, you don't even fully understand whats being stated. That is exactly what that means, the person trying to cure aids has a job to CURE AIDS! It doesn't mean they love cancer and don't want a cure, it means bringing it up is irrelevant as the issue is not what they are looking to correct as they are just 1 person. So your whataboutism is regarding CNN, not gang violence. STOP BRINGING UP CONSPIRACY THEORY on CNN or their homepage or how many times they do or don't tweet as that has nothing to do with trying to solve this issue. That doesn't mean its not an issue, it means the goal of this is to lower those deaths, not fight CNN's home page or tweets or instagram account etc.
"fact that you try to label what I am saying as a "conspiracy" shows me you aren't really interested in having an unbias convo"
??? I brought up many things we need to talk about and your conspiracy on it not being on national news sites can be proven INCORRECT, we can look it up right now with many links to prove that many networks are currently talking about those shootings. You only want to talk about agenda stuff vs real solutions.
How can we lower theses mass shootings? (did you know CNN)
How can we lower theses mass shootings? (how about Chicago)
How can we lower theses mass shootings? (look at CNN's homepage bro)
How can we lower theses mass shootings? (look at CNN tweets)
This sounds like majority of your whole argument.
No, bring up CNN to talk about conspiracy is. The solutions I laid out address both. You didn't bring up gang violence and offer a solution that can effect both to assist, you stated this "Chicago murder rate isn't widely reported on because Chicago is a democrat stronghold"
No solution.
No examples of what can be done to address both.
No ideas what so ever to show both can be solved.
Stop saying you bringing it up has anything to do with addressing both, you brought it up for this "Chicago murder rate isn't widely reported on because Chicago is a democrat stronghold"
If someone had the cure for aids and another person stated "Cancer rate isn't widely reported on because-" and never offered any solution to the issue, what good are they doing? So when someone is looking for a cure to one thing and a person stated "______ is a democrat stronghold" or "______ is a republican stronghold", what good are they doing? So...you didn't bring it up to solve anything , you brought it up to argue about a side and CNN.
I'm not dismissing gang violence, I'm dismissing your reasoning for bringing it up.
If you stated "here are my solutions for the country, it can also help Chicago which suffers from gang violence" do you think I honestly would be mad at you? You really think me or anyone else is simply mad cause you gave another thing that can be solved and save even more lives? smh.
Come on man, grow up. Its clear the statement wasn't adding to solutions to solve a problem, it was pure whataboutism with zero offer of any suggestions to help the nation.
SNIFF
Is this real
He's gone too far off the scripts.
Is this real
As a non-US citizen, can I ask why the 2nd Amendment seems to be so important to (seemingly?) a lot of US citizens? I really have a hard time understanding why one would want to own and carry a weapon. I am not trying to stir shit up, I just want to understand the mindset behind this.
These types of comments should be made when a politician opens his/her fat fucking mouth talking about video games after a mass shooting. Fucking cunts. Go tell that to the families and friends who lost people in these tragedies.
