shooting

I'm really tired of these stooges running for Governor (here in FL), bringing up the shooting, saying "I'M STANDING UP TO THE NRA!". Ummm..... the NRA had zero to do with that kid's mental illness - hello?! :rolleyes:

Another school shooting today. Student opens fire at Nevada middle school, killing teacher; shooter dead - U.S. News I don't mean to sound like I don't care about school shootings but I hate these stories because I know what's coming. We're going to see law-abiding gun owners and the NRA...

Dispite the fact that the perpetrator insists that his act was jihad driven, the victims are being denied needed compensation because the Obama administration refuses to correctly classify the attack. Wife Of Ft. Hood Survivor: ?DOD Is Gagging Us? *UPDATED | RedState

I put this in the history forum because it's not exactly a current event. Just wanted to stimulate a conversation about what we can really do, or what we should do if anything about gangs. Gang violence in general terrorizing neighborhoods. I don't know if this story is gang related but it's...

VFihl5VhfJI Oscar Pistorius was the perfect South African sporting hero because victory over his disability made him a universally admired figure in a still-divided society. The profoundly macho culture he grew up in spans racial groups and provides some explanation for the country's shocking...

As of right now the reports from the college say a gunman entered the campus and started shoot people. So far the reports say only three have been wounded no one has been killed. http://news.yahoo.com/two-students-struck-gunfire-texas-college-official-195804814.html

Now here is my problem with this. In the little news story and I will try to fond a bigger more in depth story so my apologies for how short it is. Anyway is the story says the guns were his. If this is the case why would his parents allow him to keep them himself. I would never in a million...

A lawyer filed a lawsuit worth 100 million dollars for a family of a 6 year old survivor. He filed it based on it could have been prevented and was a foreseeable event. The prevented part I can get behind a little. Had they had a school police officer it may have been preventable. The...

Still breaking, not a lot of details yet, but at least one was shot. The shooter is also dead; there might be a second. What a sick person to do this. Edit: At least 20 killed according to several sources, including children...

http://obtuseobserver.com/?p=1706 This is the story that just keeps on getting more and more surreal. A nut-job shoots Gabrielle Giffords. Paul Krugman and a cohort of other usual suspects blame Sarah Palin (while ignoring the same blameful acts done by democrats) and now Sarah Palin is...

http://obtuseobserver.com/?p=1700 Does it strike anyone as odd that Sarah Palin appears to be getting more press than Gabrielle Giffords? As the saga continues? Palin released an eight minute video addressing those who tried to associate her with the shooting. Click here to watch the...

http://obtuseobserver.com/?p=1683 We are now all familiar with the tragedy in Arizona. We have seen the deluge of articles blaming the event on the right, Sarah Palin, culture of hate etc. Paul Krugman declared that the right could find no similarly menacing imagery as that used by...

In the USA, there is an over-abundance of blame thrown around whenever tragedy strikes. Suicides linked to Marilyn Manson lyrics, manslaughter by mimicking Beavis and Butthead stunts and murder tied into supposed "secret messages" on backwards played Ozzy songs all gave the public their needed...

[FONT="Georgia"]A taxi driver gone mad had a shooting spree with a sniper rifle in England. Guess that makes sense, if any professional is likely to snap, it would probably be taxi drivers - as they are under a hell of a lot of stress and the public treats them like poop. Still, its very sad...
