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

Yeah, the is is the thing we have to deal with.

"But it has also reignited a larger debate around the potential value of sharing graphic pictures to shape the public discourse at a time when mass shootings happen regularly in the United States."
 
Quite the PSA. Not parody…



And there it is. The final stage of normalisation and acceptance. Purge and Idiocracy confirmed. What other movies should we be rewatching? Already done Contagion three years ago.
 
Why does no one in the video pull their own gun?
 
Just got word my cousin, a nurse practitioner and father of two under 3 year olds, was shot dead walking home from work. I think I’m not ok and will be gone for a while. Why? I hate this place.
I'm sorry brother xox

The voiceover is from a dystopian action flick.

It's official, it's the Purge.

I feel a bit sick knowing that's real and not a parody and I'm going to the US for the first time in October, to a place where there's already been a mass shooting at the site, yay.

Statistically it's still incredibly unlikely for one individual to get killed in a mass shooting. Especially if you stay away from the most dangerous places, like schools.
 
Can't even go to someone's house these days.

Statistically, if you hear gun fire then running to a stranger's driveway and hiding behind a bush will drastically reduce your chances of getting shot from 99% to 80%.

Something to consider.
 
Rittenhouse 2.0…


Stuff like that is a reason why I stand against the current bail practices in the US, especially stupid fundraising like that. Someone indicted of a homicide deserves to have his/her ass kept in jail for the whole duration of the proceedings at the very least.

Feck
Sorry to hear that. There are no words to make this okay or lessen the pain.
 


He should feel lucky that laws demand a fair trial because I know plenty of countries out there who may have taken a very expiditious approach for such behavior, which could be deemed as treason if he purposefully helped enemies of the United States.
