Gun violence & Hate crime in the United States - Sticky

[AZ_HighCountry]

hey welcome to our club of being stereotyped as terrorists ... how does it feel?

Doesn't bother me. Given I own firearms and am a member of the NRA, somewhere someone believes I'm a terrorist.

You can't fix gun problems by putting more guns in the hands of fragile humans, we have seen changes in countries like Australia/NZ and other countries with proven data that gun control and stricter gun laws actually works in reducing gun violence, but unfortunately Americans are paranoid AF, they just see enemy around every corner, specially the Republicans who are by majority pro-gun nuts, but if you follow their politics they have indoctrinated their followers with fears of "others" or everyone that is not "white". Muslims = enemy/invaders/Shariah law etc, Latino's = the great replacement/demographic change/ Cartels/ drugs, Blacks = gangs/thugs/criminals, so basically for them more than 70% of America is out to get them hence the paranoia to get guns and in that you have few people who have taken this paranoia to next level of entering a mosque or shopping mall or grocery store with racial/xenophobic/Islamophobic writings and shot people. I get people wants to have a gun to protect their house from getting break in, but the more people who are already paranoid and prone to violence aka right wing, give them access to guns and you have a disaster waiting to happen, and every time such incident happen people just condemn, same old BS points scoring and deflection from real issues discuss, but online the people get radicalized and its now a big issue even for FBI and Homeland security, recent mosque shooting is a good example of it, 17 & 19 years old have access to guns, radicalized with mental health issues and hate everyone able to do that, now given America is nation of 300-400 million people, we have several thousands if not more people with Guns and lots of ammo being radicalize in various ideologies and its only a matter of time before another one of them snap and commit acts of violence.

Another typical holiday weekend in Chicago:

Chicago sees at least 25 shot over Memorial Day weekend as police cancel officers' days off

At least 25 people were shot in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend, according to police, including four teenagers wounded on the city's West Side.

What's being reported here is relatively light. A quick check of https://heyjackass.com/ shows a higher number.

Now this is senseless gun violence. Not only do I know where the sports bar & grill is located, I know the whole area very well. She lived in a development called Belair. I have a friend who lives in that same area.

Police weren't able to get to her home fast enough.

Pritzker may be laughing but facts are still facts:

Chicago's deadly Juneteenth weekend leaves 7 dead as Trump shames Dem gov for inaction

Chicago weekend shootings left seven dead and 38 injured, prompting Trump to call on Gov. Pritzker to request federal help for the Windy City.

This is a typical weekend in Chicago. Holidays are irrelevant.

The chat group which I belong to is made up of mostly retired police officers. We've been discussing this evening:

Armed bystander fatally shoots suspected teen gunman after 3 children, 1 adult killed at Oregon school: feds

Three children and a teacher were killed after a gunman forced his way into Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, by firing at locked doors.

www.foxnews.com

What we all suspect is the kid is not a Trump supporter, MAGA, or right-wing extremist. If the shooter was, it would have been all over the news.

Their assessment is either trans or on mood altering drugs or perhaps both. And, there is likely a manifesto.

That's pretty much been the M.O for school shootings recently.

Yes, it is. And, of course, the usual side pulls out all the stops to deny it.

By tomorrow this story will be nothing but a memory... nothing to see here people.
