Friendly mod reminder, this thread is about yesterday's shooting. Not about gun control, gun laws, politics, or anything of that nature. If you need everyone to know what's wrong in this world and how you'd fix it, grab your megaphone and soapbox and take it to DC, thanks. [Reply]

:-) 15 year olds rolling with a fully auto weapon and wearing blue bandana gang colors... They aren't reporting more for a reason, it doesn't fit their narrative. [Reply]

Because emotions are an unstable thing? Just because you bought a gun legally doesn't mean that you know how to properly use it or have the self control to not pull it. [Reply]

What media are you referring to when you say "they"? [Reply]

This is obviously a terrible thing to have happened, but if there’s one thing that we can be thankful for out of this is that it wasn’t the latter. If it was, this could have been so much worse with so many people in one spot with almost nowhere to immediately run to. [Reply]

What seems baffling is the only person who is dead is a mom who isn't any part of this story. The accounts make it sound like somebody was shooting at somebody at point blank range, but didn't kill them, and instead somehow shot like 22 other people. [Reply]
Media reports before information is known - They're just going after clicks! They really need to wait for more information!
Media doesn't report because information hasn't come out yet - They're holding back information because it doesn't fit their narrative!
How do you people keep up with all of that bullshit rattling around your head?
Ok Einstein... After listening to the eyewitness reports and watching the video of the shooting and clearly hearing a fully automatic weapon, and then seeing the individual tackled and the gun that was in his back pack, do you think this was a person conducting a mass shooting or a conflict between individuals that ended in shots fired? If it is the latter, then you have to ask yourself, what teenager carries a fully auto AR pistol in a back pack and wears a blue bandana that is readily considered gang attire? GTFO [Reply]

It's definitely strange, but I suspect that a kid shooting a semi-automatic through a backpack hasn't spent a ton of time at a shooting range refining his technique. [Reply]

I never claimed that it didn't have anything to do with gang violence. Calm the fuck down. [Reply]

Probably just spraying. Gangbangers are terrible shots. [Reply]

If you listened to the eyewitness account the teenagers were leaving then one turned around with is hand in his backpack and then started shooting. Shooting a fully auto AR pistol while it's in a backpack would not be very accurate. [Reply]
