You don't even know what type of weapon was used. I bet you think it was a high capacity "assault weapon" with a "banana clip".


Dude has a laser sight on him for like 1-2 seconds before he got shot. Dude was standing there with a gun out and no one saw anything. That's crazy.

Do we know who the shooter was yet? I’ve seen the rumored ones, but we are still waiting for confirmation, correct?

I mean...a mentally stable person isn’t going to go on shooting spree.

I agree that it is a catch all phrase, but mental health is the main issue here. What do you think makes someone a “shite person”?

The problem is going to be finding a common driver in all these situations.

Plenty of dumb people don’t shoot anyone, ever.

Most of these events feature a socially awkward or emotionally immature individual. Not necessarily dumb.

I agree.

I feel like you can tell pretty quickly which ones have bonafide mental health issues that cause them to give zero shits about murdering as many people as they can(for whatever reason they see fit).

Some of them, like you said, are probably just pieces of shite.

Mental health is such a cop out for shooters. It does hold some truth, but the majority aren’t suffering from mental health.

90% of them are just piece of shite humans.

This is a fair point.

I guess I feel like most of these instances seem to always be situations where the final straw occurs and someone just snaps.

Up until that moment the person was likely somewhat normal. I don’t consider that a mental health issue.

I can’t think of a single instance where someone was a crazed lunatic their entire life and shot up a building.

It's amazing how no one looks at anything around them these days. Especially at big events like this.

Sure they do. If they were that unstable, we'd see it come out in court.

Easy access to guns is the difference. A gun is always found at the scene. Yet we do nothing.

How did we get by in the 60s without them? A shotgun and rifle or two were enough.

Are you saying guns are easier to get now than they were in the 60s?
