  • 45th school shooting of the year

    This time it was 13 dead at a community college in Oregon.

    Before the gunman started to shoot, he ordered students onto the ground and asked them to identify their religion, an 18-year-old student told The New York Times.
    Religion and guns, such a healthy mix..

    What's the problem ? there are several millions of americans at that age so 13 less is barely a drop in the ocean.
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      Another school shooting in Yankeestan? I'm shocked.
      Libraries are state sanctioned, so they're technically engaged in privateering. - Felch

          For Mass Shooting Bingo, I'd like to take the following please..

          "It's too early to talk about gun control"
          "The teachers should have been armed"
          "It was a gun free zone, that's why it happened"

          Although if I don't win, I can try again tomorrow as the US has averaged one mass shooting per day in 2015.

              FWIW that total includes shootings where no one was killed or injured.

                  Given the prevalence of gun culture in America, along with the Second Amendment and right to bear arms, I'm beginning to think that most Americans accept mass, public shootings as an acceptable cost.

                    I'm starting to wonder how safe a tourist would be in the US

                    I mean can you get killed just be walking on the wrong neighborhood or something?

                    a friend went to NY and started walking and a black guy comes and tells him "don't go walking down that road. They don't like white boyes in that neighborhood"

                      Man, you are terrible and willing to accept bad **** to happen to you. Good thing not all gay people are like that.

                        Pretty safe. Most tourists stay in, well, tourist areas.

                        In 2014 I was at a convention in Chicago and one of the Attendees(a Scot) got lost late at night and some gentlemen in brightly colored clothign helped him get back to a train to his hotel. The next week in Glasgow he got the **** beaten out of him randomly. His take away was that the Crips were more likely to help someone out or ignore them while ****ty little Scottish gangs beat the **** out of people for the hell of it.

                          Plenty of Scottish people will beat the **** out of you for no reason, they don't need to be in a gang.

                            I bet that Sheriff's department believes their purchase of multicam is justified now.
