Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

xpost

i'm sorry i made it worse! sincerely.

No need to apologize, I had a rush of blood to the head, I shouldn't have mentioned it on this thread, it's inappropriate.

group hug plz.

At first I saw '6 wounded' and thought 'business as usual'. Then I saw '12 dead' and thought 'business as usual'.

The yoga shooting a few days ago didn’t even result in a thread bump

:(

jesus fucking christ

Friends and family anxiously converged at the Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks early Thursday to learn the fate of the hundreds of people who were inside when a gunman opened fire.

Chandler Gunn, 23, of Newbury Park, said his mom came to his room and told him about the shooting.

He rushed to the bar and called a friend who works there, who was also at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas last year when a gunman opened fire, killing 58 people and wounding hundreds. His friend told him that some type of tear gas was thrown into the bar. She saw smoke and heard gunshots and ran out the back toward nearby apartments.

He hasn’t been able to contact her again but knows she’s safe. He said Wednesday nights are college country nights at the bar, and open to people 18 and over for line dancing lessons.

“A lot of people in the Route 91 situation go here,” he said. “There’s people that live a whole lifetime without seeing this, and then there’s people that have seen it twice.”

Americans need to storm NRA headquarters and burn it to the fucking ground.

Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves. https://t.co/oCR3uiLtS7

How dare these doctors listen to no one but doctors! They should start taking into account the opinions of non-doctors, because if they didn't exist, there wouldn't be need for doctors!

scalpels don't cut people, doctors do

those self-important anti-disease doctors

It's a death cult, of course they despise doctors.

Also 'Americans need to storm NRA headquarters and burn it to the fucking ground' is as otm as it gets.

If you want to know how bad it is, there’s nothing starker than this:

The Gun Violence Archive, a resource that lists shootings in the US, used to have a spreadsheet that detailed everything from the previous year.

The data available is now sorted to “Last 72 Hours.”

a number of the survivors from this morning's shooting were also survivors of the las vegas shooting.

ban country music concerts

there's significantly more chance of that happening than there is of the second amendment being repealed

the guy in anguished tears apologizing for getting out alive with his son fucking gutted me

Another one of those things I'd rather just fleetingly read about.

wow congrats to the @nra social media manager on yet another four day weekend - you earned it buddy!

47 ppl at the bar were Vegas survivors.
1 of the victims was a Vegas survivor.

I feel helpless, sick, angry, dismayed and numb

yuuuuuuup

One college student, Nellie Wong, was at the bar celebrating her 21st birthday. Ms. Wong was trapped in the club until the police arrived, and described the whole thing as a blur.

“She’s alive though,” said Ms. Whittler, standing with Ms. Wong outside the bar. “She’s alive for her 21st birthday.”

the thing from that NYT aricle that made me go cold was that the shooter even stalked & shot the wounded

i just want to barf

the smoke bombs stood out for me. the horror of gun shots going off, with smoke everywhere. jfc

i don't even know what to say or think any more. it's so clear what the problem is, and what the obstacles are. the way these mass shootings are reported, the aftermath, the non-responses from the nra and their pals in congress, the outrage on the left, even the language of futility, or of noting how often it's happened, like what i'm typing now. it's maddening

plus the realization that we're not going to Repeal the Second Amendment for a few decades because of the way that the supreme court has been stolen / stacked with sexual abusers

marco rubio watches this with a straight face, like nothing is happening

“I hope to God no one sends me anymore prayers. I want gun control. No more guns!”

as if these weren't already tragically, cosmically stupid events, there were multiple people from the Las Vegas shooting at this thing

48 I read, one of whom was killed.

The gunman reportedly posted this message to Facebook after he started shooting:

I hope people call me insane... (laughing emojis).. wouldn't that just be a big ball of irony? Yeah.. I'm insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is 'hopes and prayers'.. or 'keep you in my thoughts'... every time... and wonder why these keep happening...

NBC News reports:

Police were responding to reports of shots fired at Mercy Hospital in Chicago on Monday afternoon. Anthony Guglielmi, chief communications officer for the Chicago Police Department, said there are reports of multiple victims on Twitter Tuesday. One suspect was shot as searches of the area were continuing, authorities said. Mercy Hospital is 26 blocks south of the Chicago Loop.

i was wondering what was going on. i live another 25 blocks directly south of that, but there were a TON of police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks racing north when i took my dog out a little bit ago. :(

The @NRA told Mercy Hospital to "stay in their lane" after doctors spoke out about gunshot wounds last week.

Now a shooter has injured at least three people in that very hospital and all are in critical condition. This is officially and sadly their lane now, @DLoesch. pic.twitter.com/IZLDnWBXjs

jesus christ

apparently it began with a domestic dispute, acc to NPR

Yeah. The first victim had recently broken off an engagement to the shooter.

wow imo "domestic dispute" spreads out the blame too much

*sighs*

A sheriff's sergeant who responded to a mass shooting last month at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks was killed by friendly fire from a California Highway Patrol officer's weapon during a shootout with the suspect, authorities announced Friday.

At a morning press conference, Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub said Sgt. Ron Helus was struck five times by bullets from the suspect and a sixth time* by a round from the CHP officer's AR-type rifle.

*In the heart. Good aim CHiPpy.

Why do CHiPs have AR-15s anyways?

[North Hollywood shootout](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout), mostly. The patrol officers were so outgunned with their service pistols they were handing out AR-15s from a local gun shop.
