Mass shootings in Maine

[Vol8188]

Thanks for providing the source.

But this doesn't really doesn't help @Vol8188 narrative that it's a black problem. Well, until he tries to moonwalk the conversation back into "homicide."

You realize that still shows mass shootings as being disproportionately black, right? Around 17.5%

Do you feel like your "T's & P's" are most effective when they're sought at home, in a group setting or on Facebook?

I'm just wondering where the signaled virtue is most effective.

Not virtue signaling, though I get your drift. I don't like to talk faith here for that very reason. It's personal and sharing it here does not feel good, but I actually do care.

If you'll notice, most of my long message was about government intrusion, not me.

Crazy Mike Johnson with yet another "now's not the time to talk about mass shootings" responses GOP pansies have been
throwing out for years. Embarrassing. It's never the time for gutless, irresponsible Republicans who continue to endanger all Americans
with their callous indifference to gun violence.

Stop being such a whiny bitch and answer my question.

You'd think there would be a study but here we are. I would like to see a study based on irregular sexual tendencies as well as a study based on prior use of ADHD meds, particularly in regards to children.

I believe that a lot of mass killers are being treated with SSRIs (the "Prozac family" of meds) and related antidepressants.

Correlation is not causation, I know, but like this killer, lots of these people have "touched the system" of mental health and found themselves recently on meds. I'll admit many of them needed mental health treatment and I'll suggest that much of what passes for that mental health treatment is "here, take this and we'll talk again soon....."

These meds "claim to" (don't get me started how subjective "evidence" is concerning these meds) alter chemicals in the brain "in a positive manner." To be fair also, like weapons, a lot of people use various psych meds and don't kill people.

The American tendency is: you're sick, take this. That's pretty damn effective if you've got some illnesses but mental health is a very, very subjective "branch of healthcare" and lucrative to Big Pharma. They can't draw blood or whatever to prove you're not still sick so you still need the med. Wink, wink, nod, nod.

Well, I figured that would be offensive.

The only thing I have ever won is a $50 gift certificate to O‘Charley’s so now gotta think about a trophy case.

So so using at least 15 people injured (killed or wounded) this is what I've found for '23.

4/15 Dadeville AL 36 handguns party setting/probable gang related
10/25 Lewiston ME 31 the one that started this thread
7/2 Baltimore MD 30 handguns block party/gang related
6/18 DuPage Co IL 23 handguns Juneteenth party/probable gang related
1/21 Monterey Park CA 21 handguns
7/30 Muncie IN 19 handguns possible gang related
7/24 Saganaw MI 17 handguns block party/probable gang related
5/6 Allen TX 16 rifle
1/7 Huntsville AL 15 handguns strip mall party/possible gang related

So of 2023 shootings with at least 15 casualties two patterns emerged.
Handguns are way more represented than rifles of any sort (7 to 2)
Parties that might include gang members are freaking dangerous

Like it said this discussion is about mass shootings not homicide rates among races. Everyone knows gangs exist and are prevalent in certain areas and the majority of those in gangs are black. I'm talking specifically about mass killers, which are overwhelmingly white males.

Mass shootings by shooter’s race in the U.S. 2023 | Statista

Between 1982 and December 2023, 80 out of the 149 mass shootings in the United States were carried out by White shooters.

Wait, benholt said there are 565 mass shooting just this year yet this chart shows 148 over 40 years. I think ole ben has some funny math going on.

Yeah, you didn't respond. You passed over the post like it didn't bother you one bit. Like I said, it worked, as usual.

"You hit the reply button. Got you!"

One a disease of the culture - lack of father figures, reliance on the State, lack of moral guidance etc... Black on black and gang and gun violence is just a symptom of the disease. I'd even go so far as to say the BLM movement is BS. The black community pretends to care about black lives, they don't - not really. Your post is evidence of that. I don't think I've ever witnessed a black rally or march because of b on b violence. I digress.

Two, agreed. Needs to be a lot more of that.

and what is gun control but more reliance on the state?

State passes laws.
State enforces laws selectively.
previously legal gun owners can no longer arm themselves, being forced to rely on the state for their day to day protection.
the same state that has ruled that those enforcing the laws have no legal obligation to actually protect civilians.

Your article kinda proves what he is saying...even tho 53% of the mass shooting are carried out by whites statically it should be higher considering America is 70%plus white and own the majority of guns...sontou gotta ask why is the minority population of 20 to 30% responsible for 47% of mass shooting with less gun. Ownership?

According to the DOJ / US census via google:

Black folks are 13.7% of the US population.

They commit 52% of violent crimes. Thats quite a disparity. They kill many, many times as many folks as are killed in "mass shootings" by anyone including them.

Why is that never discussed by the MSM? Why do the gun grabbers not mention the actual cause of the majority of killings, armed robberies, rapes, etc? I am not calling for racism or for any black persons to be singled out...I am calling for an honest discussion of where the killings etc actually occur that are plaguing our country? How can we ever hope to solve the gun violence problem in this country...when we cannot even get honest discussion about what the problem actually IS and WHERE the vast majority of killings actually occur...and by whom?

The narrative is complete bullcrap....and yes 18 people being killed in maine is terrible. Guess what they call 18 people killed in chicago?? SATURDAY

My man. Thanks for not throwing me under the bus yesterday. Let dude get under my skin a bit. Some of these clowns need an attitude adjustment....theres a whole generation coming up now that thinks its OK to talk trash to grown men bc they get away with it online where they cant get knocked out.

Omg that is so true. I noticed it with my son. He talks trash like there is no consequences...well he learning now!!!

Was watching my son's baseball game this past weekend (14u). One kid on the opposing team was the mouthiest kid I've ever seen. Chirped the whole 7 innings about how great he was. Im sure even his teammates were embarrassed for him. First thing that came to my mind was, that kid has never been punched in the nose before. Times have changed.

We've raised almost 2 generations now that have no fear of getting punched in the nose.

But ... worth it if effective.

Back to this incident, it appears this shooter's abandoned car had the probable weapon used in the attack in it and a note that supposedly reads like a suicide note.

I'd be interested if that note contains language suggesting whether it was written before or after the attack because I don't trust this psycho not to try to foul the trail.

You're going to die, you write a note, and you don't use the .308 right there to sign it?

It doesn't add up for me.

He wants to be suicided by cop, taking out others before he's killed himself, in all likelihood.

His .gov handlers have already offed him and his body won't be found.

If you're going to rely on the State to codify the Rights that protect your guns and life, it seems a bit disingenuous to poor mouth reliance on the State for enforcing said rights.
