Mass Shooting in Atlanta

[NurseGoodVol]

But they don't talk s^^t, though.

Lol. No this one went right to action. I’m suspecting a few things about this shooter, I’ll wait till it all comes out.

 

[utvolpj]

I do apologize, I've always been under the impression that mass murder was bad, despite the reasons, or media coverage.

It is but they aren't always equally newsworthy as I've said a couple of times

The people pushing the narrative on shootings aren’t interested in curbing gun violence. They are interested in curbing Gun ownership.

Higher burdens to achieve gun ownership will lower gun ownership which will curb gun violence. It won't happen right away due to the massive surge of guns irrationally and irresponsibly allowed in this country.

But we have to start somewhere.

Sometimes . . . people just have a screw loose.

Sheriff Frank Reynolds said in a press conference on Wednesday that Long had potential "sexual addiction" issues. He added that Long "we believe that he frequented these places in the past" and that he "may have been lashing out." Cops confirmed that Long "did take responsibility for the shootings" and that he said the massage parlors were a "temptation that he wanted to eliminate."

They added that Long claimed the attack was not racially motivated. The Atlanta Police Department added that Long was on his way to Florida, where they believe he was going to "do similar acts in the state" targeting "some type of porn industry."

Long did not target the victims due to their ethnicity, rather that he chose locations that he "knew specifically", according to Channel 2.

What makes motive so important? A tragedy is a tragedy no matter why the criminal committed it. Are you for certain profiling tactics that target whitey?

Motive is important in every crime, especially murder. I've said it's tragic while also being able to see the difference in the 2 acts

Fun game - replace "gun ownership" with "voting rights" and see if you still agree

It's still way early but this recent article makes it appear the only thing in play here is that the dude was likely a weapons grade loser and not a racial terrorist.

Investigators: Spa shootings not racially motivated, suspect blamed spas for his sex addition

I'm sure more will come out later.

How much higher of a burden is there than “you can’t own a firearm” penalty for being in possession of a firearm is 5 years in state/federal prison is there?

Criminals have never let "burdens" deter them. That's what makes them criminals.

It's a national sorry where a person obviously targeted a certain demographic. The other story is tragic but it was a family argument over money that turned violent.

Yes, the reasons actually matter despite the cries that they don't. Not all acts are equal

How do you know he "targeted a certain demographic" without further evidence to support that? The black shooter "targeted a certain demographic" too because it happened to be the race of the people in the actual incident... Doesn't always automatically make it some race related issue...could be he's racist, could be he's just another nutty psych felon, could be he was trying to rob them and lost his s**t...

LOL criminals already bypass these "burdens" and no law will change that

Of course he did since it was a family argument about money. The need to hold up a black shooter every time some white guy goes crazy is quite telling. Always the same few

You mean our local race obsessed libs were wrong?

Once again, for the sake of knucklehead rule breakers, the majority of law abiding gun owners will face more obstacles to enjoying their rights.
You ok with that?

It's not holding up anything other than to show the mock hypocrisy and rushing to judgement over "racial" motives when even the suspect and sheriff had said there were none

Do you apply this “logic” to exercising every fundamental right?

So the race obsessed aren't the ones constantly saying "yeah but what about the black guy?"

Pointing out hypocrisy isn’t being race obsessed.

The race obsessed are the dummies in this thread that stated
1) white shooters are treated differently than black ones (false)
2) this was a race related mass shooting/domestic terrorism (false)
3) this was any different than any other mass shooting/driveby scenarios (partly false, guy is a sexual dork with severe psych issues)

I think the shooter is a long way from adulting if this is his thought pattern.

It's a flawed response to a premise that was flawed in the first place. People have to get over the delusion that everything is about politics.

I wonder if he went to hellfire and damnation church or doughnuts and coffee church @volgr

You got it right when you said sometimes someone just has a screw loose. You can’t police what someone’s thoughts are or their breaking point.

Always on mobile and I corrected the single wrong word that was so confusing

So there are still a couple more but sure. National story for one.
