Mass shooting in British Columbia

[Michael K.]

Have they found a way to blame it on Trump yet? Or how about "toxic masculinity"? That's a fun scapegoat! Oh, I know, how about climate change made them do it? The guns made them do it? They just needed a 'mental health' day? Anything but personal accountability, right?

Trump Derangement Sydrome forced her to feel hopeless and he had no option?

I have zero problems saying trannies are demented and are a massive problem.

They belong in the looney bins, not reading to our kids while dressed like Disney princesses.

People who can't acknowledge the tranny problem are the same ones who don't understand per capita while reading crime statistics that show blacks are the problem.

So I see that as always, you're hanging your hat on something that some completely random person says on social media. I mean seriously, do you have ANY opinions that are your own and not somebody else's?

And by the way, I don't know about some of those other shooters but the Uvalde shooter wasn't trans.

As always, you're right there to swat away any information that's not fed to you by Fox News.

Absolute clown. Almost funny to hear you say anything about having an original opinion. Lol.

So let me get this straight: all you ever do is post other people's opinions from social media, and your defense is to mumble some straw man mumbo-jumbo about Fox News, which I never watch. I mean, what a weird reply, it's like a bot wrote it.

As for me having "unoriginal" opinions, you don't see me cut-and-pasting something that Haywood Jablomi posted on Snapchat. But I know that you don't really think that and just said it for the sake of saying it.

Is posting something you agree with posting other people's opinions? You post any type of link, it's not you agreeing with it, it's just their opinion? I get that that's Don Gorgon's approach, but not typical.

LOL, I figured at least you would catch my "typo".

SeattleorBust: Does the chart imply that there were NO mass shootings anywhere else? (Haiti? Venezuela? Kenya?)

DavidGee: It is a good question, if the poor parts of these cities are like the poor parts of the US cities you cite. But, correct me if I am wrong, aren't the mass shootings in the US typically committed by people who grew up in suburbs and or rural areas? (i.e., rather than poorer inner city areas)

Probably, your city ones are just criminals who target one person or a few people, view it as "business" and their intent is to get away with it whereas your mass shooters are random madmen who can be from anywhere, want the notoriety, are just going for the biggest score and fully expect to be captured or, more likely, killed. They all add up, but your run-of-the-mill criminals contribute far more to the scoreboard than the madmen do.

Our murder issues, whether small-scale or large-scale, are much more sociological than they are "availability of guns"-related. We have a lot of criminals and a lot of whackos that many other countries don't have. It just cracks me up that SoB actually believes that Americans are just like New Zealanders.

I've given up trying to figure this out, but I know it's important. Why do you think we have higher murder rates than other "developed" "first world" countries? If that answer is that we have more whackos and criminals, it begs the question, WHY do we have more whackos and criminals. (I mean, wasn't Australia established as a panel colony?)
