Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

Fucking christ. I don't live there but I visit that area for concerts often.

Multiple fatalities.

Breaking: The shooter was a gamer who was competing in the tournament and lost, one of the competitors told the L.A. Times https://t.co/zsHA2Z6KpJ

Gun control advocates seized on the moment Sunday to call for action against gun violence.

“My thoughts are with everyone impacted by the shooting today at the Jacksonville Landing — but thoughts are not enough,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Twitter. “As we continue to track developments, it’s clear Congress must stop stalling & act to protect Americans from the daily tragedy of gun violence.”

“How many mass shootings in your state will it take for you to do something?” David Hogg tweeted to U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch, meanwhile, called for an end to “gun free zones” and said security should be in place to keep people safe.

Yea that woulda stopped it.

FUCKING ASSHOLE

Just followed up on this and found out the video game shooter went to my high school and grew up on a street where several of my friends lived.

At least two dead and four injured in Cincinnati today: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/crime/crime-and-courts/2018/09/06/active-shooter-multiple-people-shot-downtown-cincinnati-dispatch-says/1210202002/

Well this is terrifying and awful

https://www.bakersfield.com/news/six-dead-five-victims-and-suspect-in-southeast-bakersfield-shooting/article_44494978-b700-11e8-b57e-77db47621e40.html

too too awful.

and the stories like this might reduce best to crazed people heavily armed, that’s the most _useful_ takeaway.

but my brain wants to try to see a story. “who shoots a guy at a store, then turns and shoots his OWN wife? then runs another down to kill HIM? then jacks a car, but lets the mom/kid live- what’s that permission? mercy? and” *record scratch sound*

no hunt3r, it’s crazed person, heavily armed. this is what 27% of usa thinks autonomy and liberty must involve. its their hell and we live in it.

it's the new super suicide. i think it's that simple. really, really scary.

i wondered if he suspected the store guy of sleeping with his wife or something & thats how it kicked off? idk
the whole thing is so grim & scary it feels bad to speculate but here i am

it was the best answer i could think of as to why he would go to the store & shoot shop guy first -then- his wife

but after that, who knows. all of it is crazy

more details today somewhat confirm part of my theory

And local sadness yesterday, https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/woman-dead-in-burien-shooting-suspect-at-large/ - drive-by shooting misses target and kills an office receptionist.

We have a synagogue shooting going on in Pittsburgh right now.

Multiple fatalities damn it

We are being moved 2 blocks to northumberland and murray avenue

At least 2 officers shot, 4 reported dead at this hour.

Active shooting still taking place at Tree of Life Synagogue

We will be live in minutes on @KDKA. @AndySheehankdka also will be live. pic.twitter.com/r5NIHIj1Tx

This is looking horrible.

Hmm, I know lots of people from Pittsburgh's Jewish community, but I don't think any of them still live there. This is horrible.

Fucking hell.

He was apparently shouting 'all Jews need to die'.

White male, incidentally. Of course we'll soon be told this has nothing to do with Trump whatsoever.

the MAGA line is that his Twitter was full of anti-"globalist"/anti-Trump rhetoric because Trump is pro-Israel. He's def one of the people feeling empowered by how fucking nuts everything is right now, but he's not pro-Trump.

Ugh.

#BREAKING: Suspect has surrendered. He is injured. Here is the scene just a few blocks away from the synagogue. At least 8 people killed @KDKA pic.twitter.com/AwhjC3iyH4

Repeal the 2nd amendment everybody

that'd take 60 years

I'm confused by JCLC's post, do we already know who the suspect is?

Yes, the name's out there, as are tweets.

so he's saying Trump isn't anti Semitic enough?

He's controlled by Jews.

Fake Jews

Not noted here but there was a shooting at a Kroger in Louisville last week. Two dead. Apparently the shooter tried to get in to an all African-American church just before.

thanks for noting that, I have a lot of friends in Louisville and that shooting is def related to these recent incidents

yeah I'm only hearing that story now in light of this one

yeah, dude posted an adaptation of the “first they came for the...” poem about Trump “coming for” the Charlottesville marchers, the Proud Boys, etc.

These crazies, Trump fans or no, are definitely enabled and encouraged by him.

...three police officers were shot...?

i mean, i realize the police probably arrived after the shooting started, but it does suggest that having some rando civilians with carry/conceal permits on hand

ugh, nevermind. i fucking hate all of this, this nightmare cycle

xp EXACTLY

Q: How does someone slaughter people in a synagogue, then shoot three cops and get taken alive?
A: Don't ask such stupid questions. #fascistscum

I remember people saying they were glad that Hillary didn't win, because they were afraid of the right-wing violence that would result.

really? i guess i could see that argument given Bill's tenure. OTOH it might be even worse, we'd have like 10 of those Nevada ranch situations

I think the argument was basically "Look how Trump is stoking this...and if he looses, he's going to keep going."

But the problem is that he kept going even though he won. Stoking this is his only political play.

and hey, his approval rating is higher than Obama's going into thee 2010 midterms so i guess why stop you know

for real? god this country is stupid
