Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

I just set 'em up

groan.

whatever the cause might be i think it would help to have a deeper understanding about this trend.

all "Gamblers" creep me out, but to do nothing other than video poker seems like an even creepier subset. It is amusing how they seem to fall for the ego stroking casinos do. Love to brag about the "free" stuff they get, their VIP cards and whatnot. Get off on "beating the system", in addition to the obv risk/reward hits mentioned already.

To have this level of access to money and do THIS with it is what will eternally baffle me about gambling. What a fucking waste.

14 hrs a day of video poker for who knows how long def sets the scene for some deep-seated disassociation

I worked as a betting shop manager for years and always remember the ashen faced look on this bloke who had done in 7 grand in an afternoon. Before he left the shop looking completely broken, he says with nil conviction to save face: It's a good job I had a good day yesterday.

Gambling is one dangerous and unhealthy activity to get caught up in.

It's all relative, some people get into financial trouble doing too many 10p Lucky 15's or £3 Irish lottery bets. But yeah gambling is just as deadly as crack cocaine. I have done £1000 bets before, but only with my employers money - which is apart from getting shot at by armed robbers - the main reason I stopped being a betting shop manager!

It used to be refereed to as "having an adventure" amongst other betting shop managers. Like if a friend from another shop phoned me and I was deep in the shit. i'd say: "Sorry I've gotta go, I'm having an adventure and I'm way down". Such degenerate days!

The Manila casino attacker (who ISIS also falsely claimed) was another indebted poker player.

xp that's beautiful and horrifying

Some personal detail from the killer from his own deposition a couple of years back. Still doesn't indicate much.

What fucks me up about all of this is that right now a few people are out there quietly planning a large scale mass shooting and at least one of them is going to succeed. It's going to happen. And no one's doing anything to stop it and chances are it'll be a similarly low key person who in their day to day life doesn't register as a danger. At worst they register as troubled. And like I think I said at some point no one ever thinks someone no matter how troubled will go and do this.

got lots of texts about this from california folks, while meanwhile I had no clue about it around the corner here

God fucking dammit

The NYPD's official Twitter account has confirmed there are several fatalities and multiple injuries in the incident. Police say a vehicle entered the West Street pedestrian/bike path near Chambers Street, struck multiple victims in the path, then continued south until it struck another vehicle. The suspect then "displayed imitation firearms," per the NYPD, and was shot by officers.

Reports of six dead and being treated as terrorist attack

Now we get to hear how we can't regulate guns because there are cars

I played little league at the elementary school next to Stuyvesant and walked across that bridge over West St. every day when I was a kid. I think about that area all the time. this is so fucked

so the suspect isnt white you say

i'm sure we'll get to hear about regulating certain people

According to an FDNY spokesperson, there are 15 injuries and six fatalities so far. Those numbers are preliminary and may change, the spokesperson said.

Now we get to hear how we can't regulate guns because there are cars

Bingo!

TERROR in New York City

Idiot on CNN says "we need GUN control now"

But it was a TRUCK that killed 6 people, not the terrorist's BB gun

fox only outlet brave enough to run with the terrorism angle

still unverified whether shots were or weren't fired

I'm basically down the street and around the corner and no one knew anything until my boyfriend texted me to be like "Hi are you alive?"

Trump probably thanking Mammon right now

I hate myself but the first thing I thought of was Trump.

glad you're ok, in orbit. i used to take a long lunchbreak every few weeks and walk west on chambers all the way to the hudson, right by stuyvesant high school, so i can visualize right where it happened. :(

yeah, fucker really did Our Regime a favor, it seems

Eyewitnesses told police the driver yelled “Allahu Akbar!” — Arabic for “God is great!” — after leaving the mangled bodies scattered behind his rental truck. The Middle Eastern man was arrested after police shot him in the rear end. Sources said he was waving a pair of guns when cops reached the scene.

A press conference is happening now. Mayor de Blasio has called the incident an act of terror, and said the death toll is now eight victims.

Cuomo said it was an isolated incident, not connected to larger terror plot. Still nervous whenever this shit happens that there'll be a 2nd/3rd attack

If the name released by ABC is correct, he’s probably not from the Middle East.

Uzbek is what I'm hearing -- emigrated in 2010, from Tampa.

xp what kind of name is that? somewhere around the caspian?

Uzbekistan according to CBS

which is to say close enough to 'Middle Eastern' for 70% of the country

guess that travel ban wasn't wide enough

sad lol

May has tweeted "Together we will defeat the evil of terrorism." Didn't say that re Vegas.

Has trump called ubeki beki beki stan stan consultant to get info on next steps
