oh look, another shooting, this time the guy shot 600 people because he had easy access to a whole arsenal of ammunition, semi-automatic rifles and bump stocks that allowed him to turn them basically into automatic weapons.
oh, just a mentally ill individual, there is literally nothing we can do about this, sorryoh look, a terrorist scumbag killed 8 people in new york with a truck.
what is his religion? can we ban it? omg, he entered the country through a visa program initiated by reagan 30 ago - we need to shut it down immediately!Quote (fender @ 1 Nov 2017 02:01)
terrorist scum obviously does not think like normal human beings, so i don't expect that someone who made the decision to kill innocent people really thinks about what a cowardly, pathetic, and senseless act that is.
unfortunately it DOES "accomplish" something though. sure, these acts themselves don't have the impact, don't spread the "terror" to significantly change our way of life (after the vegas shooting for example, with over 600 people shot, not even bump stocks were banned), hardly anyone will seriously think twice about using a bike lane now or visiting a concert. the reaction by radicals and bigots on both sides, however, will undoubtedly further the divide - and that will inevitably lead to more people supporting simplistic and even counterproductive policies and "solutions". just look at the toxic rhetoric and narratives in this forum... ultimately this WILL bring us closer to some kind of "religious war", and that's their goal...
yep, it's pathetic really...
