The bad (typically gun related) things happening in America thread

Learn to not get caught...



“I want to be very clear,” McDonald said on Friday, “that these charges are intended to hold the individuals who contributed to this tragedy accountable, and also send a message: that gun owners have a responsibility. When they fail to uphold that responsibility, there are serious and criminal consequences.” She added: “Justice for the victims and their families is at the forefront of today’s announcement. We need to do better in this country. We need to say, enough is enough.”

It's a start, at least. Good luck to the prosecutors.
 
Apparently the gun was in an unlocked drawer that their son could access.
And that is not a crime. From bbc “neither federal nor state law requires gun owners to keep their weapons locked away from their children”
Blimey.
I know I live next door to Croydon and plenty of fecked up stuff happens there on a regular basis but this is something else…….
 
To be honest, it's just a stupid fecking country and they need massive gun law reform. There is literally no reasonable need for anyone to own a gun. It's purpose is only to kill and nothing else. They're all too caught up in their idiotic amendments and "rights" that they can't see what is fecking obvious to the rest of the world. Worrying about their freedom when they have more shootings than anywhere else in the world, for a very obvious reason. Just idiots.
 
Christ, an Uzi, a Tommy gun, an M-60, an M-16, & many more. Batshit crazy.

And because today ends in -y…

 
Plaid shirt is one slip away from being erased.

Although to be fair I see a lot of empty mag wells.
 
If someone posted this in Portugal, child services would be knocking on their door.
 
The Land of Opportunity (to shoot small kids legally without killing them).

It's where you go to make your dreams come true. :wenger:
 
I have never seen a country fetishise an object as much as America does guns. Not even going to the fact that it’s a weapon. Just any object. It’s like how the Dutch have that dumb shoe that they make into touristy things. But even they don’t want to sleep with the shoe next to them and revolt if someone took it away.
 
Reading this thread from Dec 1 and onwards and it reads like some utterly bizarre out of control thriller fantasy.
 
Students doing detective work & stopping a school shooting…


Walked past 2 kids in class today talking about what they’d do in case of one. (The day’s actual class topic was on urban land use and city models)

A fecked country.
 


Not overtly gun related, but this is pretty disturbing. The IPT have also been leaking info to Netanyahu and Israel intelligence.

Judge Is Urged to Resign Over Racial Slur in Video Recorded at Her Home
Michelle Odinet, a judge in Louisiana, said she had “zero recollection” of the episode captured on video, in which off-screen voices are heard narrating security-camera footage of a failed burglary attempt.

In the minute-long video, unseen people inside the judge’s home can be heard using a racist slur repeatedly and laughing as they narrate security-camera footage — playing on a television — of a person trying to break into a car in a driveway.
The short clip captured one of Odinet's children saying 'And mom’s yelling n****r, n****r,' to which a female voice responds 'We have a n****r. It’s a n****r, like a roach.'
