Oregon College Shooting

Another shooting in America, it seems.This time at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. Reports suggest between 10-15 fatalities. So, so sad. How can they just keep letting this happen?

I agree, how many more have to die until they do something about their stupid gun laws.

Jesus wept, the state of the replies to this tweet, from a girl apparently at the scene as events were unfolding. Parasites.

Just been talking to a mate on Facebook who lives 15 miles to the south. It’s just so horribly predictible…there isn’t the will to organise change…most feel totally helpless. :slight_frown:

There’s suggestions going around that the shooter claimed they were going to do this last night, on 4chan. Where, of course, they were gleefully egged on.

Obviously, take that with a massive pinch of salt. Far from confirmed.

Stupid Brits

Sick fuck. And the fucks who resist the obvious change needed.

Stop dissin our freedom! Y’all just jealous bitches!

Until the law makers in that country wise up and stop noshing off the arms industry and NRA then I find it difficult to have sympathy for these incidents. They have the power to stop this happening but choose not to.

Being reported that the gunman ordered students to state their religion before he fired.

Awful news again. Obama’s biggest failure, and I’m sure his biggest frustration, is the inability to get tighter gun laws through Congress.

Anti-christianity by the sound of things.

Senior Pastor saying that if all the students had weapons they could have fought back. What an utter melt.

According to their “mass shooting” criteria (four or more shot), this is the 994th incident since Obama took over.

Guess we only hear about the big stuff.

I saw that statement last night on Twitter. Fucking mental.

The Elephant is in the room and it’s stomping all over their children. Solution: More Elephants. :slight_frown:

Reading some of the many posts from US people, its very clear that a significant % of them are as much part of the problem, as any politicians or the NRA when it comes to opposing change. Unbelievably blind to what needs to be done. The silent majority (at least I hope its a majority) need to stand up and force change. Bill Hicks called it in 1991:

“In England, where no one has guns, not even the cops: 14 deaths. Probably American tourists. In the United States, and I think you know how we feel about guns - whoo! I’m gettin’ a stiffy! 23,000 deaths from handguns. But there’s no connection, and you’d be a fool and a communist to make one. There’s no connection between having a gun and shooting someone with it, and not having a gun and not shooting someone.”

Guns don’t kill, people do!!

However it seems the only way to stop people using guns to kill is to take them out of their hands…

I dont think they have ever really grasped the concept of how danagerous these weapons are. I guess it stands to reason given they coined the term “friendly fire.” There was an Indian massacre a while back where the soldiers rounded up the Indians, encircled them and opened fire. You guessed it. No casualties when rounding up the Indians but lots of self inflicted casualties resulting from the cross fire!

From CNN:

Using numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we found that from 2004 to 2013, 316,545 people died by firearms on U.S. soil. (2013 is the most recent year CDC data for deaths by firearms is available.) This data covered all manners of death, including homicide, accident and suicide.

According to the U.S. State Department, the number of U.S. citizens killed _overseas_as a result of incidents of terrorism from 2004 to 2013 was 277.
