I think you could argue some Scandinavian countries have less violent crime.

we are in the most peaceful time in history and we by far are the most prosperous country in the world. That is not debatable.

That's weird..no one is trying to assume the race of the suspect?

Police chief just said he was a mid 30's white male.

Apply some demographic adjustments to that.

Apply some mass shootings like Vegas and Orlando to that.

On the PT board, they said something about a traffic stop gone wrong.

Anyone else hear that?

Yes

During the PC they said it started during a traffic stop which makes it really weird it escalated to 20 people being shot

Definitely not your traditional mass shooting

even just outside of violence, there are countries with better work life balances, living wages, insurance, etc

No, I didn't hear that, but it makes sense.


It looks like this thread is going off the rails, not blaming you, Scruffy.

Was he shooting people on the road or inside somewhere?

Also, was the other shooting unrelated?

Scruffy is just speculating.

No one knows what this TPOS was thinking.

I think this guy was the only shooter. He was in the small truck, then he carjacked the postal vehicle. I understand the postal worker is one of the fatalities.

Yea, every country like that has a population of less than 50 million and is comprised of 90%+ of one single race and has extremely strict immigration policies.


Why do we always have to go through this shite?
