Today's shooting in America thread

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Just for some perspective from July 2023 to July 2024 the USA accepted 2.8 LEGAL immigrants.

Too many immigrants in the US. Time to close the borders full stop.

Some serious America hating going on there, pull your head out of the bubble you live in FFS, some soft twats on here.

Only half of it.

Money is king in the USA.

The death of a CEO who profited over playing god with peoples medical issues far more important than thousands of school kids mass murdered in their schools.

For sure, health control and gun care is big business

People on this board think America is inherently dangerous and we are all gun toting yahoos. That’s simply not true. There are areas that are high. Time and dodgy. I have no idea if this area of Florida is considered high crime or not.

The reason I mentioned one was an illegal alien is that a) it’s factual and b) it’s galling that we have people who shouldn’t even grace our shores running around attempting home invasions. We have enough crime from natives we don’t need to import more. I wish these were isolated cases but they are not. Just like that illegal, he was from Guatemala, who was deported but snuck back in again who just last week murdered a lady minding her own business sleeping on the subway by setting her on fire!! FFS!!

What do you think those two mamalooks would have done to that husband and wife had he NOT been armed and taken decisive action.

In Florida (reasonably sane) he is lauded or at least protected by the law. In New York he probably would have been prosecuted!!

Well yes but we see more innocent people shot each year by the cops at traffic stops in US than all gun deaths in the UK which includes people shot by cops in the commission of a violent crime. Also, the growing number of immigrants from the US who cite gun violence as one of their reasons for moving to UK.
It’s not surprising if some people in the UK have an exaggerated view of US gun violence. I have seen Americans saying ‘ah yes but the UK has a problem with knife violence’. Well that is true, but it’s still a fraction of knife violence in the US.

Reports of casualties in New Orleans after someone drove through a crowd then started shooting people.

I can only see these types of incidents inexorably increasing in the years ahead.

Bastard - it's getting ridiculous now and for what ??

New Orleans attacker acted alone, FBI now believes

The agency initially said it believed multiple people were involved the attack.

Very sad, but most likely correct.

Probably bought from Walmart.

I’m struggling to see any realistic scenario where it decreases.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

I’ll never understand how people think it’s okay to take pictures/videos of a dead person and how they can’t be prosecuted for it.

Judging by the fact that the suspect hasn't been named, or had his picture plastered all over the news yet he probably doesn't fit the bill of your average 'terrorist'?

Happy new year to everyone in this thread! Got off to a great start!

That's now changed.

Think he s dead.... shot at police, so they let him have it.
