Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

my answer to that would be : you can be a far right agitator but also have other motivations for comitting violence.
like i said, ~unproven~ but uhh.. upsetting.

"kill my inlaws, start the race war" two birds/one stone..

ppl who belong to far-right neo-nazi groups may be predisposed to general un-ideologically motivated violence based on their receptiveness to hate affect

^ just a theory

Really not sure why a right wing agitator would mow down men, women and children at a tiny Texas church.

a "false flag" if you will

seeing the likes of Cernovich and Prison Paul immediately declare this an antifa led "anti-white" hate crime kinda led me to suspect something strange was going on, though tbf they'd probably do that no matter what

yes they would do that no matter what

The gunman who killed 26 people in a rural Texas church on Sunday escaped from a psychiatric hospital while he was in the Air Force, after making death threats against his superiors and trying to smuggle weapons onto the base where he was stationed, a 2012 police report shows.

Police took the man, Devin P. Kelley, into custody at a bus station in downtown El Paso, where he apparently planned to flee on a bus after escaping from Peak Behavioral Health Services, a hospital a few miles away in Santa Teresa, N.M. He was sent there after being charged in a military court with assaulting his wife and baby stepson, charges he later pleaded guilty to.

The report filed by the El Paso officers says that the person who reported Mr. Kelley missing from the hospital advised them that he “suffered from mental disorders,” and that he “was attempting to carry out death threats” against “his military chain of command.” The man “was a danger to himself and others as he had already been caught sneaking firearms onto Holloman Air Force Base,” it added. The police report was published on Tuesday by KPRC, a Houston television station.

Later that year, Mr. Kelley pleaded guilty in a military court to repeated assaults on his wife and her son, a toddler, including one that left the boy with a fractured skull. He was sentenced to a year in a Navy prison.

one year

what the fuck

It's cool though no need to put anything embarrassing in his personal record that might stop him from someday being able to buy guns.

(Reuters) - At least three people were killed in a shooting at an elementary school in Northern California on Tuesday and the shooter was killed by law enforcement, Sacramento television station KCRA reported.

A number of students were airlifted for medical care as a result of the shooting at Rancho Tehama School near the community of Corning, the station reported, citing a sheriff's official.

"I know of at least three deaths," Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston told KCRA.

at least 2 children wounded

other than morbs' post, i didn't even hear anything about it today.

the details of that story are horrific, basically it was pure instinct and good fortune that led to the school going on lockdown. he tried for a few minutes to enter and gave up.

well okay I was having a pretty good day until now

god dammit our country needs so much surgery

I got notifications from AP when it happened and throughout the day but nothing from NYT or WaPo

well okay I was having a pretty good day until now

i would argue you’re still having a pretty good day because there wasn’t a child massacre today

we did our lockdown practice last week. ended up arguing w the kids abt whether or not it would be a good idea to arm ourselves w box cutters saws and hammers from the engineering workroom or not (during a real lockdown not during the drill)

Run, Hide, Fight. If you did the first two and wind up in a place with limited egress (i.e. run and hide options have been exhausted) then preparing to fight is absolutely what you should do. You and your school district are welcome to contact my colleagues who do this shit for a living. Sadly, that's a job that exists.

Saturday morning, I was buying tires at Sam's. Two guys behind me- one older Jerry Van Dyke fella and this big middle-aged black guy wearing an Alabama sweater.

"Whoa there, pard!" says Jerry. "When the shooter comes in here, he might aim for your Tide logo and hit me instead!"

"Haha," said the big guy. "Happens every week now, don't it!"

I was hoping the big guy would say "Taste's very strange!" but you can't win 'em all

May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived.

this made me want to punch the screen so I'm sharing it with you

There is no solution so why get angry. It's like the 64,000 opioid deaths last year. Free will.

i shared this a few years ago. i'm reposting here. overheard in the locker room of a gym in knoxville TB. three old guys, they don't know each other well.

"you know how people are saying teachers ought to be armed now"

(suspiciously) "well i don't know about that"

"i'd take it one step further"

"..."

"i'd arm the students"

"you'd what now?"

"i'd arm the students. but..." he pauses for dramatic effect: "only students with a 4.0 grade point average would be eligible!!"

loud guffaws

"well.. i don't know about that"

"i was gonna write that in a letter to the newspaper."

"did you?"

"but my wife said they'd probably print it!"

Yeah, that sounds like Knoxville. Our state legislature this year required us to allow permit holders to carry in all sorts of public facilities, including on buses, unless we install metal detectors and armed security. (Which would be cost prohibitive and ridiculous on buses, obv.)

The rationale being that, basically, no one is safe unless there is at least one person with a gun present at all times in all places.
