The only thing more American than the Super Bowl is a mass shooting.
So… related to conspiracy theories?
I fucking hate this country.
Me too…. Me too.
points to border K bye
Yeah and homeless people should just buy house lol
you know you can’t just go to another country, right? unless you’re telling us to illegally immigrate. in which case, why are you like this?
That’s because Nobody had guns to SHOOT the Killer before he was able to KILL! If someone KILLED him before he KILLED them NOBODY would have DIED!
You forgot the /s right?
Your reading comprehension is absolutely fantastic, bravo
Mate, I spend half my time on lemmy arguing with pro gun idiots that make the point that the guy above made but for real. Now it’s not only idiot rednecks but also lefties that need to defend themselves from nazis or wathever someone was trying to convince me about the other day. Excuse me if it wasn’t obvious to me that want sarcasm, from outside the US this whole situation is surreal
parade was a target of opportunity I suppose?
Knowing the way shit is in KC, probably just a couple of crackhead assholes with guns who got in an argument and couldn’t be fucked about the collateral damage.
I was thinking about going down to the parade today. Glad I stayed home instead.
Based on it happening in a parking garage out of the way I’m assuming it was some (probably drunk) idiots fighting each other. I didn’t go to union station this year, but last year everyone was fucked up, and shit would get rowdy at the edges.
Naturally There’s people in this thread ready to jump on a tragedy to push their theories onto it. Nobody wants to wait and see what the actual cause was, and since we have two of them in custody we will know what it was about.
You can drop the N-bomb. The King in Orange made it OK.
/s
No thanks. Definitely not my style of humor.
You added racism where there was none, that’s more than sarcasm.
“Crackhead assholes.”
We all know what that’s a stuff whistle for. And we all know MAGtards wanna drop N-bombs so bad they can’t stand it.
I think, based on the downvotes, “we all” isn’t as many people as you believe.
Sure thing.
America. It just never ends.
There No Way To Prevent This™
America is doing fine in general though. We are conditioned by the media to see news like this and assume the sky is falling, but it’s not.
“Crime is falling” and “America is doing fine in general” are not even slightly the same thing.
We are conditioned by the media to see news like this and assume the sky is falling, but it’s not.
It is for the people who die or are injured. Could be you or me next.
No, it really could not be you or me next, statistically speaking. It’s so unlikely that it’s not at all a concern to me.
What the heck are you talking about? None of these people expected any of this. Yet, it happened. And it happens all the time in the US.
Dude is an idiot, but coldly, those dead people aren’t posting online lol so his statement is idiotically true for all time
“Not me, so I don’t care who gets shot” great attitude
Bets on what delusional conspiracy theories this one believed in?
Two, it would appear. Two shooters. FFS.
Could be 2 people shooting at each other. Could be 1 shooter and 1 “good guy” with a gun trying to stop the shooter. Could be 2 shooter working together. Could be loud sound mistaken for gunfire and then 2 “good guys” try to save the day and shoot at each other.
In my opinion these are in order of most to least likely.
By “loud sound” do you mean an acorn falling on a car?
Three… They nabbed a third.
Holy crap, I’m hearing possibly 2 more suspects
Because this wasn’t a mass shooting…it was gang violence…
Were they working together or have we reached the point where we can have two separate shootings at the same time and place?
I live here. It’s most likely two different incidents. One a mass shooting and one two idiots throwing down at each other.
Another reason why I’m a hermit.
“sir, they are killing each other in confusion!”
“now that’s my kind of policework, solves itself”
America moment.
This makes me incredibly sad. We can’t have shit in this country due to pathetic and incompetent governance. What’s worse is that it will take a generation of time for us to dig out of this hole even if we start moving 100% in the right direction, today. It makes me sick.
What do you think would solve it?
Taking our heads out of the sand is a start. I would go into more detail but I checked your profile and I don’t think I’ll convince you of anything so we will just leave it here. Not in the mood for an argument over the same shit that keeps happening in this country.
It’s sad that you think you can’t discuss anything because of your prejudice against what you imagine the other person is like. Just be brave and say what you want anyway. Snooping at people’s profiles is a level of investment in this whole endeavor that I’ve never found worthwhile, so I don’t recommend it.
Womp womp person with shitty comment history makes shitty comments and says “checking profile history is prejudice, very bad.”
Next.
No, you failed to comprehend what I wrote actually. The point was that I don’t give a fuck what you or anybody’s comment history has in it. You can look at mine all day long and I don’t give a fuck either. The point being, that only lame nerds waste their time doing that.
I’m proud of my comments, please read and examine every one of them if you want. I personally choose not to waste my time on that lame bullshit though because I’m a cool dude with better things to do.
I’m a cool dude with better things to do
Famously said by cool people, right? Womp womp, the sequel.
Not a lot to gain by arguing with the dog that shits on your lawn.
Your mom is the dog that shits on you, haha gotem
This is the right answer my friend. Don’t feed the trolls
Nothing the elite that run the coutnry want us to do. They want us poor, uneducated, uncoordinated, scared, and fighting with each other.
We can’t have shit in this country due to pathetic and incompetent governance.
You’re being way too charitable about that. The problem isn’t incompetence; it’s active and deliberate malice.
Brought to you by the people who invented ‘slavery.’ Slavery, for when you don’t want to do it yourself and youre a soulless husk of a person.
It is very poetic that the world’s largest arms dealer has an issue with it’s children being gunned down regularly like dogs.
That picture of the stretcher with confetti still falling is probably the most American thing I’ve ever seen.
Nobody has mentioned thoughts and prayers. Should we try it. Maybe it’ll work this time…
Dropped the baby
With the extremely limited info available, it could also be two people who were wildly shooting at each other in a crowd. It would not be the first time that some stupid beef between people at a celebration escalates into a gun battle that takes out more bystanders than participants.
%99 this is what it was, probably gang violence that escalated.
I don’t know what’s a more effective argument for gun control: That this was two idiots with beef firing off in a crowded place, or that it was some maniac with a racist manifesto.
Either way: Too many idiots have guns.
Have fun trying to take hand guns with giggle switches from gangs…
At this point in American history … I have to wonder if the shooting occurred because of US politics … or was the shooting just PART of the parade.
If only there were some way to prevent this…
I legit believe there’s nothing that we can do today, that would fix this within 100 years.
But that’s not a reason to not start. It’s just sad
More guns, right?
Once this is reported to be gang violence no one will give a shit. No one is in custody, handgun was used probably, and beef between two gangs happening during a parade.
No gun laws are going to stop shit like this, you have to solve societies problems, then violence will drop. Gun laws are just feel good measures for people in white picket fence communities.
