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



Mental how often this happens.

This is the first I saw of any of them. Not sure how many headlines they made in the US, but it's as though the rest of the world is so used to it happening over there that it's not reported that widely.

Motive plays a part too I suppose. If it's not terrorism or some sort of lunatic shooting up a place of work or school then it doesn't get reported much. Fights, arguments, disputes or gang relatied stuff that end up with shootings don't seem to be particularly noteworthy.

Just another day in America then. It's sad.

Low death counts too, I think 3 died in total from those shootings. I know gun crime levels are insane over there, but I just had a moment there, thinking how if any one of these happened in the UK it would be shocking to the point it would be the top headline for a week.

Oh no doubt, and as you said in your earlier post, the ones you cited barely made the news.

That poor man. It's disgusting this is still happening in this day and age. He must have felt like shit, humiliated, hurt and embarrassed too.

As for the girl, she must have been humiliated too. It's really a shock she's managed to graduate at all with that as a father.

Honestly, that's really fecking wound me up. Absolutely disgusting.

Baraboo, the town that also brought you the blockbuster hit: Football team takes picture doing Nazi salute. Rural WI is something else.

I find that racism is alive and well in Europe, at a time when it has been largely blunted in the states

Oh racism is well and alive in europe for sure. But I think in europe is sneakier than in US that it seems to me, that very fringely is out at the open like that dad pushing away the black superintendent. In europe probably the dad would forbid the daughter to go to the ceremony or something else.

Obviously is just my personal observation that might be incorrect. The truth is that in broad terms, Europe and US are pretty much the same in racism IMO

I'm sorry, but if a 2 ton bull is coming your way, and you just stand their drinking, you absolutely deserve to get tossed 8 foot in the air and kicked in the head.

I doubt they were drinking. Staying still is more likely that the bull don't detect you and gives you better odds than if you are slow poke

If you want a further example of prosecutors and judges being sleazy - Young Thug RICO case has just had a stunning example

A witness, while sworn in, was dragged into an ex parte meeting with the judge and the prosecutors with no notice to defendants and they only found out because of a leak, and the judge held a defence lawyer in contempt because he wouldn't give up the source.
