A little late on this, but so glad you and the family are safe. I can't imagine how terrifying that must have been. I thought of you all immediately.
I see they caught the fucker alive, of course, since he's white.

I was keeping up with this on your Twitter account in real time. Nonetheless, glad you were removed from the event.
The replies on Twitter are chock-full of these people. Even on the day of the shootings, very explicit tweets with no room for misinterpretation.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Jul 2022, 8:08amY'know, when these attacks occur, I often pause to think that there are people whose response is—beyond the, I'm sure, very sincere thoughts and prayers—that the solution is to have even more guns, especially the high-powered kind, out there. There just aren't enough guns out there to finally decrease gun violence, the alchemical equation hasn't yet been reached. And these people don't think of themselves as heartless.
I've said before that if a nation that had strict gun control laws had this level of carnage, I think it'd be fair to say that gun control isn't working. Yet somehow this result means that gun proliferation is working?Kory wrote: ↑05 Jul 2022, 3:45pmThe replies on Twitter are chock-full of these people.

Their response is almost invariably the NRA party-line of "guns don't kill people, people kill people."Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Jul 2022, 4:10pmI've said before that if a nation that had strict gun control laws had this level of carnage, I think it'd be fair to say that gun control isn't working.

Yet weirdly people don't kill people as often or in great numbers in countries where you don't get a gun with your fifth oil change.Kory wrote: ↑05 Jul 2022, 4:24pmTheir response is almost invariably the NRA party-line of "guns don't kill people, people kill people."Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Jul 2022, 4:10pmI've said before that if a nation that had strict gun control laws had this level of carnage, I think it'd be fair to say that gun control isn't working.

I mean, they actually are sometimes (in one example, the town next to mine had a public shooter try to gun down a parade and a citizen shit him before he could kill more than a couple people - then the cops killed the citizen responder), just obviously not at the level where this is actually a sound public safety policy.Low Down Low wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 12:41pmKatyMontgomerie/status/1545425167735816199?s=20&t=SKla-4RR7TuJ7XRjQ0wWNg

Yeah, i noticed flicking through a few of the responses that either that case or something very similar was referenced and another where two good guys reportedly ended up shooting at each other believing the other to be the bad guy!Flex wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 1:35pmI mean, they actually are sometimes (in one example, the town next to mine had a public shooter try to gun down a parade and a citizen shit him before he could kill more than a couple people - then the cops killed the citizen responder), just obviously not at the level where this is actually a sound public safety policy.Low Down Low wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 12:41pmKatyMontgomerie/status/1545425167735816199?s=20&t=SKla-4RR7TuJ7XRjQ0wWNg
It's telling thay my phone assumes I must have meant shit when I write shot.
Basically, mass shootings (and attempts) are so ubiquitous here that at some point you see every possible outcome play out. Anyone can probably cherry pick whatever random outcome they want if they really wanted and ignore that the vast majority of the time the bad guy just mows a bunch of people down.Low Down Low wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 2:11pmYeah, i noticed flicking through a few of the responses that either that case or something very similar was referenced and another where two good guys reportedly ended up shooting at each other believing the other to be the bad guy!
