Is it time to talk about guns?

Excellent answer, Thank You

 

In Baltimore City, the mayor and baltimore city states attorney are corrupt, as is the city bureaucracy.

 

Yesterday a 18 year old white Mail drove 200 miles to the city of Buffalo New York (USA) dressed in full body armor with a GoPro camera mounted to his helmet. And a military style rifle. Exiting his car yelling racist comments proceeded to shoot and kill people in a grocery store parking lot. He then proceeded into the store, shooting people. A retired police officer returned fire to stop the shooter. The shooters body armor stopped all of the rounds. And the active shooter shot and killed the retired police officer. In total 10 people were murdered. 3 hospitalized with gun shots.

The police departments quick response to the scene was able to stop the suspect and take him into custody. His pre taped video shows he picked that location because it was in a black neighborhood. His actions was racist driven.

This morning while attending my church services. I found out that he had attended our church a few times in the past. Like other churches we share our building with another church group. A all black congregation. What is so scary he could have just as easily picked that group to attack. I am still shaken up by that thought. This event has only encouraged my thoughts about restricting those types of firearms.

 

What drives an eighteen year old to commit such an act? What kind of parenting did he have? I think it all begins with the parenting.

 

He basically quoted Fox News Tucker Carlson's bull shit. Copied ch 4 ( I am not familiar with that outlet) which from what I have read today is a white supremacy conspiracy site. Out local paper is also saying the he had issues while a student in school. Police were involved. But it seems that it did not go much past that at the time. The whole idea that a local kid could or would do something like this is mind bogging

 

And the sad--ridiculous thing is---nothing will ever be done about mass shooting in the US. Nothing. It's a fact of life here that will just have to be lived with and accepted. I 'm not dumb enough to assume I have any viable answer to the problem. The age old and continuing human problems with lust for power, prejudice, war, hate, enslavement, cruelty, will continue. Why not?

 

Anybody recall seeing these guys on the MSM?

 

I wouldn't know...

 

What kind of rifle did the Buffalo dude use?

 

Was the Tree of Life shooter also black? How about the El Paso shooter, or the Parkland shooter?

 

You bring up an interesting thought. How many POC have committed mass shootings in the US?

 

I count seven black shooters. What’s the ratio to white mass shooters?
