I'll take a comment from someone saying "lit that hoe up" with a huge grain of salt.

that's three separate accounts saying what's essentially the same thing. Obviously I wouldn't take it as gospel, but it's important to wait for more eye witness accounts since we haven't really had any.

Hey besada, can we make this a rule in active news threads?

It's already a general rule. We just don't ban for it because people get crazy and do stupid stuff under extreme circumstances, and we like to allow people a little play. But yes, please source your news posts. And if it's questionable, just don't post it.

That said, please keep in mind that this is not a TV show that you need to guess the outcome of. You will receive no points for guessing right or finding a way to use this tragedy as a bludgeon on other users. There is no rush to immediately discover all the details beyond our own selfish need for understanding. Have patience, be kind.

This happened in my backyard. One of my friends was there. My wife and I talked about going but didn't because it's so fucking hot. So you can assume I will have perpetual eyes on the thread, and if you act like an asshole, you can assume I will toss you without compunction for a long time.

I would love for that to happen.

My personal thought is that as generations move on, society in general are more and more separated through use of personal technology and know less and less how to interact with each other let alone get along. Combine that with stereotypes, easy gun access, and other possible things and some people just go right over the edge. That's not even getting into the psyche of individuals that might do something like this for a volatile list of combined factors which allow them to go do stuff like this.

I don't think there is any easy answer like we need to learn to live together, better gun control, pay attention to the signs of people close to you that they may do something like this, ...etc.

I just pray everyone that is hurt can get the help they need and that everyone else is safe.

I always say the last time I saw true unity in this country was the first 5 days after 9/11. It lasted 5 days but it was a beautiful thing. Our country needs to reach this point again on its own.

There are some fucked up cops in this country but I do not believe for a second that cops started this gunfight.

Even if they were psychotic enough to want to kill random black people, this is the absolute worst time to attempt it. They could just wait a week until nothing happens in congress and the status quo is maintained and then do whatever they wanted to do.

The conversation is over now. No one is going to give a fuck, everyone is going to be talking this, and every time another shooting happens people will say 'Well, what about what happened in Dallas...'

Fuck whoever did this.

As usual, people who want to end the conversation because of this violence never wanted to have the conversation to begin with. Best to just wait to find out what happened and hope nobody as died and keep hammering home the truth about cops and being black in America and America's love of guns.

To be frank. Nothing was going to happen regardless. We've been at this same spot every year and time and again. NOTHING happens. It would have just died down and gone in the rearview.

Unfortunately this happened and it will get the focus. That's a sad truth.

Huh? Two of the accounts are the same and the other account simply says it wasn't a protestor.
 
This is crazy.... better be no dead....


This is really going to create a unprecedented for pacific manifestation in general..
 
Crazy. Absolutely crazy.
That weapon doesn't sound like something you'd be able to easily conceal in a protest, but given the chaos, I'm going to wait until the dust clears.

There was a previous twitter link that was also saying something similar to this. Again, I don't find it particularly credible, but what we need is more eye witness accounts re: how it started. Rather than videos mid shooting.

I know people post with good intentions but stuff like this needs some sort of source. This type of thing needs to become bannable in order to stop it. Not directly pointed at you, you just happened to post it right as I was about to say it anyways.
Click to expand...

I agree. Should just be a 1 day ban. They can post again once the situation is settled.
 
Goddamn this is absolutely terrifying.

This is hitting so close to home since I'm in that area a lot for work.

Even worse is that Dallas PD was actually supporting the protest.

Fixed that for you,

Unfortunately, she's obviously not stupid and knows exactly what she is doing.

I wish she were just an idiot. Absolutely disgusting display there.
Click to expand...

Yep. She's using this incident as a way to demonize all black people.

It could be true, but this is a good opportunity to look over these rules.

This needs to be posted in the OP of every thread like this.

/I'm sad that there are so many threads like this these days... too much violence

I was making progress with this story among some of my more...uneducated family. Now all they will care about is how BLM is violent and killing cops, even though that is not what happened here. It will dominate the conversation.

I had hope this time. We damn near had 'the perfect victim' (as fucked up as that is) to dominate the conversation. Now? All blown the fuck away.

I think they meant that we were seeing something like progress and someone had to fuck it up.

The only time you will see "unity" like that is during the initial shock of a great tragedy.

Seems to take mass tragedy on an epic scale or a world war to unify. People are completely intolerable of each other. I live in New York just outside the city and my brother was supposed to be in one of those towers that morning. I will never forget everything about that morning, day, or time after.

That said, it was beautiful to see actual unity. No one cared about things and no one was being selfish. I guess John Lennon's song is eternal.
 
Jesus at that Tomi Lahren tweet. Too bad this Dallas shooter(s) couldn't have targeted her and blew her worthless fucking head off instead of this chaos. Shouldn't say that, I guess, but that's so sickening, so so sickening.
