Not sure what to think about it, other than that we need to stop glorifying casually messing around with firearms. There's a guy who calls himself "Young Gunna" selling millions of downloads and winning awards on TV, FFS.


How you managed to find the dumbest possible conclusion is impressive

Completely senseless and a tragedy. 30+ fricking shots? Is it like these cities have turned into Vietnam?


It’s going to get even more third worldish in major US urban areas with continued Prog “leadership”. It’s an ideology of death and destruction.

What the hell does this mean? Isn't any shot fired in an urban area reckless? Are they saying this was target practice gone wrong? Since when have thugs cared about their aim, especially when shooting at each other. That's why the innocent are always getting killed.

He was in Brookhaven. That's definitely not even the bad side of town. Sometimes shite just happens.

was sitting in a well-kept apartment complex and a bullet from a crappy 70s-construction complex just happened to get him. It's not a particularly bad area


Where do you live? I lived in Brookhaven for 7 years until 6 months ago, the first 2 years of which were in an apt very near where this happened. "Brookhaven" itself is very nice and affluent yes but this area is on the actual edge of town. It's not a ghetto by any means and I wouldnt call it "bad" but it damn sure isn't very nice. I moved away from that apt for a reason. Rent was so affordable that more and more of the neighbors were trashy minorities and my neighbor actually got raised for running a prostitution ring.

From that picture are we sure he wasn't already dead? His eyes don't seem to focused on anything in particular.

Those guns did this. Jumping up and firing themselves and they should be held accountable.



Sad part is this is probably the way the media will portray it. After all, according to them it was an SUV that killed those people at that parade, not the guy driving it

As long as Europeans make excuses for the kind of guys shooting American cities up, then frick 'em. This stuff isn't happening in rural areas. No one is going to get drive-by'd at a 4H club meeting. It's not "guns". It's not "America". It's one demographic in cities. Everyone knows who they are, we're just not allowed to say it openly.

Irresponsible thugs and firearms have to be present for this to happen.
A firearm is an inanimate object, neither good nor bad.
So what is the root problem?

Shouldn’t you be in the “elephant in the room” thread?

They can always stay in England and get run over by a car, stabbed or have acid thrown in their face as they walk down the street.

Not many euro astrophysicists dating women living in NOLA or BR that would bring them here. Other than that part, correct.

Being killed by random bullets?

No, not in the vast majority of the country.
