Apparently the CCTV at the station wasn't working so took them some time to put it all together. Released a 'person of interest' bulletin. The only saving grace in all of this is that no one appears to have been killed. Not that it stops it being any less horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De nada Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61192975 Guns overtook car crashes to become the leading cause of death for US children and teenagers in 2020, new research shows. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that over 4,300 young Americans died of firearm-related injuries in 2020. While suicides contributed to the toll, the data shows that homicides form the majority of gun-related deaths. More than 390 million guns are owned by US civilians.

Passing Time Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 You’re quite fixated with stupid Americans and their guns aren’t you… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 On the plus side, there is a huge ammo shortage in the US at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De nada Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Texas https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-us-canada-61573831 Fourteen students and one teacher are dead following a shooting at an elementary school in Texas. According to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the gunman was an 18-year-old male who lived in the area. The shooting took place in the town of Uvalde, about 83 miles (133km) from San Antonio, America's seventh largest city. Mr Abbott said that the shooter used a handgun and possibly a rifle during the shooting, although that is not yet confirmed. He was shot dead by police. Two officers were also hit during the exchange of gunfire but were not seriously injured. EDIT: 21 dead now... Nineteen young children and two adults have died in a shooting at a primary school in south Texas. The gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School - which teaches children aged seven to 10 - in the city of Uvalde before he was killed by law enforcement, officials said. The 18-year-old suspect had a handgun, an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and high-capacity magazines, investigators say. The teenager is suspected of shooting his grandmother before the rampage.

The Chief Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Jesus fucking christ are you kidding me, a fucking elementary school, and you know what they still won't doing anything about it, fucking wankers the lot of them, just because some 200 year old document can be loosely translated into the right to blast the shit out of anyone you feel like. Cunts, the red lot for supporting it and the blue lot for letting them, because fucking money. I despair i really do and to cap it off the 'Patriot' posters are already claiming it was a hoax, a set up and a false flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 He was 18, armed with a handgun. They lowered the age to carry a handgun in Texas last year to 18. Go Texas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Video here of police taser ing someone at a petrol station and setting him on fire. Easy to criticise police but they’re all shitting themselves in case he’s got a gun (he didn’t have one). I reckon most police shootings are done in fear. Good job nra. What a society they’ve created. Edited May 24, 2022 by Mr. Sausages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Understandably, whenever there's another school shooting the focus is always on America's gun culture, but I think that this obscures a deeper problem that's usually missed. The school shootings invariably have one thing in common: they are nearly always by teenage boys. I'd argue that it's as much about the failures and lack of adult authority in American schools, communities and the family that creates these twisted teenage assassins. We're beginning to see the same problems in the U.K. particularly among black teenage drug gangs in London, but mercifully school shootings here are still rare (Dunblane is still an exception) and gun control is much stricter.
