it's sad america won't try to fix mental health issues before trying to tackle gun control.

or you can tackle both at the same time and prevent unfit people from getting guns.

Crazy fucking idea, I know.

 

[valkillmore]

holy fucking shit i cannot believe this

 

[slit]

Wow, I just saw the video from his perspective.

Chilling and unreal!

 

[Lakitu]

Redditors are bragging about downloading the video before it got pulled. Fuck them.

Fucking idiots.

 

[Zabant]

As if this whole situation wasn't already a complicated powder keg, the guy alleges he did this because of race related reasons.

 

[JohnTinker]

This is going to inspire copycats. Worse copycats. I'm physically ill

 

[spindashing]

I just heard of the twitter account. Insane stuff...

 

[Radec]

damn, that video.

 

[JKTrix]

Count me in on the people who were not expecting to see it there when I clicked the link earlier. Twitter has nuked his profile now.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Redditors are bragging about downloading the video before it got pulled. Fuck them.

This is not a good day for humanity.

 

[Shuggananas]

Redditors are bragging about downloading the video before it got pulled. Fuck them.

what else do you expect ?

 

[dave is ok]

Hope he kills himself. He probably will

 

[B.O.O.M]

what the actual fuck

 

[Snkfanatic]

I hope his mother sees what her son did, and after they catch him can look into his eyes.

What the fuck...why? What is wrong with you??

 

[Damaniel]

He has it up on Facebook from what someone mentioned. Hopefully it gets taken down. He could be uploading it just about everywhere.

And even though those Twitter videos were up for barely 5 minutes, some people almost certainly captured them, and they'll no doubt be posted on LiveLeak before the day is done.

 

[shadyspace]

As if this whole situation wasn't already a complicated powder keg, the guy alleges he did this because of race related reasons.

Who fucking cares?

 

[Odinson]

I was reading his twitter when the video popped up. He said "Bitch" right before pulling the trigger. This is insane... Wow...

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

I think this crazy shithead will kill himself before he can be arrested. RIP to the victims.

 

[BFIB]

Damn... fuck that he'll probably comit suicide as soon as the cops get to him.

This fucker should live to stay in jail for life, while being tortured in prison. But no, he's getting the easy way out, I'm sure.

I'm not so sure about that. To film it in this fashion, he's going to be a celebrity out of this. I can just see the headlines now, with a question mark at the end of it obviously.

"What caused him to do this?"

"Does Social Media need to be changed?"

 

[redlegs87]

My brain froze trying to make sense of what I was watching. Thankfully I snapped out of the haze and closed the tab before having to see the actual shooting.


This guy deserves whatever he has coming his way.

 

[ThatGuyAgain]

I had his twitter open an can't believe what I saw. I feel very sick right now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The most disturbing part is that he pull the gun out and waves it around for a good 10-15 seconds like 2 feet away from them and they (understandably) don't even realize it. That shit was more ominous than the actual shooting.

 

[Bluekaveli]

And even though those Twitter videos were up for barely 5 minutes, some people almost certainly captured them, and they'll no doubt be posted on LiveLeak before the day is done.

It already is. I was on another forum and they posted it and I decided to leave.

 

[Bronx-Man]

it's sad america won't try to fix mental health issues before trying to tackle gun control.

Neither will happen anytime soon.

 

[Always-honest]

Who fucking cares?

Huh? Doesn't everybody want to know why he did this?

 

[suplex]

Damn I wish I didn't go to that twitter page...

This is insane.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I have stepped into a dystopian horror novel and I can't find my way out of it. What's happened to America?

It's always seemed that way from the outside looking in.

 

[RedBaron17]

Looks like his twitter account has been suspended.

 

[sleverfunk]

Holy fuck at the video.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Man, that has to be first. A killer in a live manhunt uploads the video of him doing it. I suspect he will either kill himself or make the cops do it.

This movie came full fucking circle.

 

[Snaku]

WTF he just put the full length video on facebook https://www.facebook.com/100009740628378/videos/vb.100009740628378/164970963837590/?type=2&theater

edit: WARNING includes the actual shooting

Why did I watch that? Fucking hell...

 

[massoluk]

You guys feel good about yourselves?

See nothing wrong with what he said. Everyone is a good guy with a gun and responsible gun owner before there is a motive or a catalyst.

 

[Zabant]

Who fucking cares?

Fox News and their shitty associates will use this to make things worse.

 

[Jarrod38]

Come on Facebook suspend his account.

 

[evilromero]

he had a go-pro apparently

I agree. We're zeroing in on tragic and horrifying events that make it feel like it's happening in our backyard. I do believe things are generally and slowly getting better in some ways, but at the same time we're increasing our ability to highlight issues that need our attention.

 

[marrec]

As if this whole situation wasn't already a complicated powder keg, the guy alleges he did this because of race related reasons.

It's not complicated. He's a murderer.

 

[pxleyes]

Don’t turn away. Enough with this innocence loss bullshit. Own up to this reality, America. Change isn't going to happen if you keep turning away at tragedy. Something needs to be done.

 

[sappyday]

From what I saw in the video, he was pointing the gun right at them in no less than 4 ft, but none of them noticed.

 

[nrvalleytime]

This is going to inspire copycats. Worse copycats. I'm physically ill

No, it's not. Stop saying that on repeat.

It was a racially and hate motivated crime. There's no copycatting someone who loses it, and racial crimes are a legacy we have to deal with. But not a copycat. Worry and grieve about what's happened, not what might be.

 

[Squalor]

The most disturbing part is that he pull the gun out and waves it around for a good 10-15 seconds like 2 feet away from them and they (understandably) don't even realize it. That shit was more ominous than the actual shooting.

Yeah, the way he casually walks right up to them as they're minding their business is what makes all of this so much worse. He looks around, points the gun, lowers it, looks around. It's disgusting.

 

[truly101]

Stop watching that shit. Not only are validating in his mind what he did, you're going to inspire other psychos to do the same shit.

 

[Dragon1893]

WHY ARE PEOPLE RETWEETING/SHARING THE VIDEO??

It even has over a 100 favorites...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Man, that has to be first. A killer in a live manhunt uploads the video of him doing it. I suspect he will either kill himself or make the cops do it.

If it weren't real I'd think it was a crazy Law and Order SVU plot line.

 

[chadskin]

Redditors are bragging about downloading the video before it got pulled. Fuck them.

It has already been posted elsewhere.

 

[Daria]

or you can tackle both at the same time and prevent unfit people from getting guns.

Crazy fucking idea, I know.

yeah sure, but that will never happen. nobody even thinks these two things go hand and hand so they're not going to waste precious time fighting an unworthy cause compared to something like gun violence

Neither will happen anytime soon.

nope.

 

[JohnTinker]

I'm so sorry that I posted that link and exposed you guys to that. I'm so ill

 

[The Elite]

I could not watch that. I was flailing to close the tab.

There was a moment before when I was asking myself was I willing to watch this.

Nope. Couldn't do it.

I don't think this incident is going away anytime soon. It will have historical significance when it comes to social media and journalism.

The guy gunned won three people, recorded it in first person and then uploaded it on the Internet all in the span of a few hours. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this one.

 

[Summer Haze]

And he just stands there for a few seconds right in front of them. What a fucking sicko.

 

[Milly Osworth]

WHY ARE PEOPLE RETWEETING/SHARING THE VIDEO??

Because, sadly, there are millions of fucked up people on this planet.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

it's sad america won't try to fix mental health issues before trying to tackle gun control.

Honest question, why is it assumed it was mental health? This always seems to be the narrative for when these things happens and all it does it deflect the discussion.
