Mexal Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 21+ victims thus far from what I've read or heard from people listening to police scanners a few blocks away. Police are on the look out for 3 white males dressed in camo gear with AR-15s. At least one shooter is still considered active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 But it's not the guns fault.I hope the death toll is low. Two mass shootings in under two weeks that hit close to home..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceluby Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The new normal that nobody wants to do anything about. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebla Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 After the dead and wounded, the saddest part is that this kind of thing is no longer shocking. I generally just give out a long sigh when this type of thing happens again.Another thing that generally happens is that a certain segment of the population always says it's too soon to "politicize" this type of tragedy. Well, is it okay to start debating the Planned Parenthood shooting now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Heartbreaking We are up to 352 mass shootings for the year eta: not counting today, I counted 446 dead (at the mass shooting tracker page). next time I hear anyone say "4 American lives were lost" I am will certainly be countering with "446* American lives were lost!"

TerraPrime Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 After the dead and wounded, the saddest part is that this kind of thing is no longer shocking.On a personal level, after Sandy Hooks, I really cannot be shocked any more by these mass shootings. If we, as a society, cannot be galvanized into doing something productive to reduce the frequency of these tragedies after that, then what hope is there in seeing meaningful actions resulting from any other mass shooting tragedies?

AlpenglowMemories Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Sad, but hardly surprising anymore. I kinda just expect to hear something like this in the news every so often now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I expect at some point Obama will just walk down that hall to that podium, look around at the reporters and be like "Again! And fucking nothing! Fuck all of you!" and walk off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yup. There goes another one. Ho hum the new normal.This one is a little more disgusting than usual because it appears to have happened at a medical center for people with developmental disabilities.And has anyone heard if they guys have been caught/killed?

If we, as a society, cannot be galvanized into doing something productive to reduce the frequency of these tragedies after that, then what hope is there in seeing meaningful actions resulting from any other mass shooting tragedies?I've used this Dan Hodges quote more times than I care to think of; after every mass shooting that makes the news:In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some hope that we can try to understand why this keeps happening** and who profits from there being no change.**My theory on these mass shootings is that there is a sense of loss of power by those that keep perpetrating these shootings. The country keeps changing and they are threatened by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desensitized like many in the country it seems. Only feeling disgust, if I think about it being the holiday season maybe I feel a twinge, but that really shouldn't make a difference.So sad for all those involved.Just post the fucking Onion article once it's updated again by only changing the name of the location.

TerraPrime Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Fez and Xray:That's exactly my point.More and more, I think the only way to get gun control laws enacted will be for this type of tragedy to strike at country clubs and bank headquarters. The lives of others simply just don't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
