Not a mass shooting, but a 10 yr old shoots his mam because she wouldn’t order him a VR headset. Kills her and then logs on and orders one from Amazon.
Seems like the kid has had mental health issues since he was very young. They are trying him as an adult

That country is totally fucked.

If only his mum had been carrying, she'd have been able to defend herself and stop the shooting.

Fancy leaving a loaded gun lying around where someone with mental health issues live.

When my sis was still married I was terrified someone would get hold of one of her husband's guns whilst they were fighting and harm someone. 

Even though they were kept in a locked cabinet the kids still knew where the keys were kept.

[Chakan]

Rage issues, 5 imaginary people talking to him and psychopathic tendencies.

Yup seems like a gun would be a perfect thing to purchase.

The Americans whole attitude to firearm security is an absolute joke. In the UK, you have to, by Law, store your firearms in a Police Approved gun safe, that is securly affixed to the structure of the house and you keep your ammunition seperate, its a condition of the Firearms Certificate (shotguns are different). The firearm can only be out of the safe when cleaning it, or when travelling to/from the range. Mine's hidden away and bolted to an internal brick wall with anchor bolts. Its not coming off that wall without ripping the wall out. The Yanks, leave it on the bedside table is OK.

You can get easy access safes if you are that worried about burglars/home invaders as they call them, that are fingerprint activated, you put your whole hand in to unlock. It should be Law that they have to store them this way.

Maybe they were hoping to knock off the 5 imaginary people to relieve him of his symptoms.

Sorry if that's insensitive to anyone with psychosis but how stupid were those parents!

I know the UK laws Rob, he had rifles and shotguns and I know the probability of anything happening was low but I still notified the police in case they got a call from her or the kids.

When you have a violent bully, guns and kids wanting to protect their mum and/or themselves I didn't want any of them getting done for murder when it was self defence. 

I'm going back to the 90s when women were still blamed for being beaten by their partners.

Sorry, I was referring to the Americans shitty attitudes.

Yeah you did the right thing. In that situation, plod should have gone to visit and if they deemed necessary, confiscated his guns.

You'd have thought so but they didn't.

They were more interested in whether the kids would testify against their dad if anything happened, basically saying it was out of their hands if they didn't.

Americans are just batshit crazy when it comes to guns though.

Where was this? Merseyside were right bastards with us, one of the blokes at our club split from his missus so she went to them with some made up story about fearing for her life and they took everything off him. A new member had a drink driving conviction from 15 years previously and they flatly refused him an FAC

Kinda glad to see this thread get bumped and it's not involving some dude going apeshit crazy with an AR-15 in colorado.Can we get to xmas without a mass shooting?

[Mumm-Ra]

I saw the worst video this morning. Here's a link to the story, the video is embedded in a tweet at the bottom, but I'd advise you not to watch.

https://cwbchicago.com/2022/12/horrifying-video-captured-gunman-kill-3-wound-1-outside-chicago-bar-as-parolee-is-charged.html

This guy did a home invasion robbery of a dope house in 2009 where two people were executed. Somehow he was paroled from prison 3 months ago. Then this weekend, there was some altercation at a bar where there was a party going on. He gets thrown out and is outside. The video shows a guy come out of the bar to approach him, looking like he's ready to fight. This scumbag shoots that guy dead then walks around shooting everyone who was with him. Then calmly walks around again putting one in their heads. 3 dead, one in extremely critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head. Aside from the guy who was approaching him, the other three victims posed no threat whatsoever he just hunted them down.

There are some sick animals out here, I don't even know what else to say about it. Thank God they caught him.

10 years since Sandy Hook.

Nothing has changed.

Lots of new places have allowed permitless concealed carry.

The day when Americans looked at the shredded blood drenched bodies of little kids and said, yeah, we're good with that because we WANT guns. We don't need them, we just WANT them.

[Ghost Town]

Ten years on from that blood-soaked day the cult. dismisses all the weak-ass mawkish reminising and explains: "The thing is, we're a cult. What do you expect from a cult? Logic? Sense? Shame and self-realisation? And the funniest thing is that although we legislate to allow small children to go to school and come home in body bags, none of you treat us like a mad cult pariah state. Looking forward to not a single peep of criticism when we host the World Cup in 4 years time. Love, the cult"

Sadly that’s the truth. It’s gotten a bit worse. Strength of the gun lobby is beyond insanity. It’s really hard to square the circle of living here which in many ways is a good country of predominantly decent people but the guns issue and health care issues are beyond any level of normal common sense.

Not a mass shooting but a fucking 6yr old has managed to take a handgun into school and shoot his teacher. Has life threatening injuries.

The solution, obviously, is to arm teachers so that can shoot-up 6-year-olds when they become unruly and threatening.

Don't be so moronic.
The answer is to ensure all kids are packing heat. Then they can take down their rogue classmate.
That or make sure they have an angry transvestite with killer heels in every class.

The only way to stop a 6 year-old with a gun is to arm a 7 year-old with a gun.

I think the world would be a better place if every angry transvestite was accompanied by a RAWK stalwart. Why should KH have all the fun?

Detained by Police 


But it doesn't matter because

Mayor Phillip Jones - who took office just three days ago - said the shooting marked "a dark day for Newport News".

"We're going to learn from this and we're going to come back stronger," he told reporters.

Did the video of the British mom at the school going on a anti-gun rant make the news? I only saw it flipping thru the internet last night.She was a bit off with the stats but spot on with the rage.

Its the same rage as plenty of American parents from Sandy Hook or even from the American students after Parkland. Always the same words 'we need change', and there never is any change of any significant meaning and frankly it just gets worse with 'always one more' tragedy.

It is hard to imagine what kind of change is required before the general consensus of the country will change.

It would be the kind of thing that would normally ring the changes immediately (gun battles throughout the country: either politically or racially fueled), but they would spin it to pro-gun rhetoric.

"Thankully, by the grace of God, this is the United States of America, where we are granted our right to bare arms. I dread to think how nasty this could have got without that right".

Monterey Park: Several people shot near Los Angeles - reports
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64364144

Police in California are responding to a shooting that has left several people injured, according to US media reports.

The incident happened in Monterey Park, located about eight miles (13km) east of Los Angeles, after 22:00 local time on Saturday (06:00 GMT on Sunday).

Thousands of people had earlier gathered in the city for the Monterey Park Lunar New Year festival.

It is not clear yet how many people were shot or whether anyone has died.

Police have not commented on the shooting and it is not known whether a suspect is in custody.

Videos on social media showed a large police presence in the area.

An eyewitness told the Los Angeles Times that three people ran into his restaurant and told him to lock the door as there was a man with a machine gun in the area.

The annual Lunar New Year festival is a weekend-long event that has previously drawn crowds of more than 100,000 visitors.

Saturday night's festivities were scheduled to end at 21:00 local time.

Monterey Park has a population of about 60,000 people and is home to a large Asian community.

Gun violence is domestic terrorism. Unless those inbred fuckers see that, they will never do anything other than send in their useless pile of thoughts, prayers and pigeon droppings.

[damomad]

10 dead now. Just another day in America.
