Shooting at the parade
Friendly mod reminder, this thread is about yesterday's shooting. Not about gun control, gun laws, politics, or anything of that nature. If you need everyone to know what's wrong in this world and how you'd fix it, grab your megaphone and soapbox and take it to DC, thanks. Last edited by DaFace; 02-16-2024 at 02:59 PM.. |

What is this take? I don't understand. They've shown the people arrested, but they haven't been charged... so we don't know much else. And wait, you think that news outlets over cover mass shootings for advertising money? It's breaking news...the advertising is bought long before. Dead kids don't sell Cosentyx. Must be a sorta an implied race thing, right? "Big media isn't showing the suspects because they are POC....but when a white shithead shoots up a Walmart... you see him everywhere....derp derp." Meanwhile you get your news from TikTok, dollars to donuts.

From the photos we've seen and the sound of the gunfire, one of these weapons, at least, was a Glock Switch. It's not hard at all to convert a Glock into an automatic weapon, but your typical gun owner doesn't do it because it's illegal. Gang members don't give a shit about being illegal. Premeditated mass shooters go to ARs because they're legal and can do maximum damage in a short amount of time. Mass shooters typically acquire them legally because they plan on dying and don't care about traceability.
I also think it's important to remember that the dudes who did this yesterday were not born evil. They are a product of a city and an environment that has left them with little-to-no options in life outside of street life. An environment that glorifies gun violence and celebrates shooting those you disagree with. Until we decide to squash that ecosystem, no amount of gun control is going to do shit.

And two other backpacks seemed to be loaded with versions of the same weapon. It seems likely those kids were either targeting that guy, or went there looking for some kind of mayhem.

Crisis sells, man. If people are scared, angry, sad...they tune in. No one cares about some guys in an argument shooting at each other. That's my point. You injecting race into it is your problem, not mine.

Juveniles can't have their names released at least through the police.

According to the police chief they can hold them for up to 24 hours before pressing charges, tune back in a couple of hours and you'll get your answers on who they were. 2 of them were juveniles.
