Well, a lot of s are starting to think that way https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...us-missiles-prime-minister-says-idUSKCN1UV0IB
O so you can dog Americans as all being no nothing chumps but the minute I point out historical fact about to be horribly repeated (the cats will **** you up if you lost to 10k birds you'll be swamped by 2m cats) suddenly I'm not respecting our gallant allies and it's such a chore. Spare us, please.
WE don’t put them in cages. They are HOUSED in detention facilities yes but the families are kept together they are given free health care and free legal aid. That said I am NOT a fan of our immigration policies but we had to do something to stop the drownings caused by people smugglers We needed to get the message out that legal was better than illegal
And was able to kill far more people because it was a gun free zone filled with helpless victims. Compare the counts and the stop times, and the result (dead shooter ). The weapons are comparable. The pistols the cops have are also semiautomatic and mag fed. They fire rapidly as well. Had his first victims been armed, he wouldn't have made it to the cops, notice they were the first armed resistance encountered and they put his ass down. Had any of el Pasos been armed, hed be dead instead of photographed lounging in custody not getting his ass beat because he wasnt resisting arrest, and there would've been fewer casualties.
We are cautious though about being dragged into yet another war by America Remember before you disparage our military that WE have fought beside YOU more times than you have helped us
Ahhhhhh that's precious. Holding facilities not cages And you just had to turn them around so they wouldn't drown, rigggggghhhhhhhttttttt.
And you don't think we would be the first ones to heed the call if Australia was ever put in danger? I've taken part in joint training exercises with the Australian Marines. Great guys. The alliance is perfectly fine. Little disagreements are not going to shake such a vital alliance when we have *******s like china just over the horizon.
So a better answer is the same answer over and over again? Evil is allowed to thrive when good people fight with each other. How would a DMV-type of license reduce the number of murders? All of these killers could easily demonstrate their ability to safely handle a firearm.
More victims would have been saved if he was not using a weapon that could fire at the rate of the one he used. These mass shootings are often over in under a minute as was the Dayton shooting Your own homeland security does not recommend “shooting back” https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/DHS-Active Shooter Educational Sheet_0.pdf And neither does the FBI https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-event-quick-reference-guide_2015.pdf/view
Look at the Massachusetts model. That state has consistently the lowest per capital firearm morbity and mortality. Your answer lies there WITHIN America someone has done it
You didn’t with the Malaysian crisis and you only gave minimal support in East Timor - no “on the ground” support.
It would do you some good to study the demographics of the states and cities. The answer to the Massachusetts situation may be discovered there. Seriously, if you are going to post about American crime, you should at least do us the courtesy of understanding how the population is dispersed and where the crime occurs. Perhaps your input would have more meaning? Look at the demographics of Massachusetts, and then look at the demographics of Louisiana, which is the state with the highest murder rate. You can continue with the second worst, second best, etc. Get back to us with the facts you discover if you care or dare to. Thanks.
That is good. America needs to build the wall and plaster it with posters similar to those. Thanks for posting that.
I have been all over Massachusetts and into Louisiana a few times. Do you know who lives in the two states and causes a hell of a lot of murder?
The wall will not be as effective as the poster People will fly in and overstay visas or come by boat. People smugglers will not be deterred by a wall
Clearly you admit to suffering the same problem so what are you doing to stop that? My last wife had earlier in her life been married to an American who fled our IRS to Australia and he did not last very long there Working to construct buildings They tossed his ass out.
Malaysia we were with the Brits but Timor was us with the UN and we went in to BUILD the country. It is slow but they are developing
And if you could wave your magic wand and make it possible to put genie back in the bottle, if you couldnt make an ar 15 out of ****ing legos (I **** you not), maybe we could all braid each others hair and sing kumbaya. Any time you're ready. I dont trust my government with good reason, you dont have to continue to point out reasons why. 94% success rate according to the stats so.... maybe you could just not talk about **** you dont know about.
Just wondering if you have or will find the time to ponder/research the statistics/data being pointed out in posts #112, 132, 133, and 165? Do you have any intention to respond? If not, I understand.
I looked into it, and found a list. School shootings have long been a part of the culture apparently. Most were single homicide events. The VAST majority. Here are some of the more interesting ones: August 16, 1856 Florence, Alabama 2 0 The schoolmaster warned students not to harm his tame sparrow, threatening death. One of the boys stepped on the bird and killed it. When the boy returned to school, the master took the boy into a private room and strangled him. The boy's father upon hearing what had happened went to the school and shot the schoolmaster dead.[4] April 2, 1867 Madison, Florida 1 0 Frank Pope, a pupil at St. John's seminary, shot and killed his teacher Mr. Bristow.[9] December 22, 1881 Shelby County, Indiana 0 0 School teacher Charles J. Gregory shot at a pupil at close range because he refused to write on a slate. The bullet missed the boy. The teacher was arrested.[20] February 28, 1884 Danville, Virginia 0 2 As Allen Wamack, a 15-year-old boy, drove by an all black schoolhouse, he called out "school butter" (an insult meaning a cobbing, or a whipping).[25] The students came out and fired several shots at him; he shot back, hitting two students.[26] September 11, 1909 McDonald County, Missouri 1 0 John Butram, a student at the Bear Hollow School, told his fellow students that school was cancelled. The teacher A.T. Kelly said it was not. When Butram drew a knife on his teacher, Kelly shot and killed him.[48] February 3, 1915 Jasper, Florida 1 1 20-year-old Will Yates, teacher of Clear Pond school in Hamilton County, Florida, was shot and killed in a fight with Claude Holtzendorff and his two sons. The Holtzendorffs objected to one of the boys being whipped at school. When they showed up, Yates had armed himself. He shot the father through the mouth, and was fatally shot through the body, dying an hour later.[57] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States So I learned that about half of all school shootings are by teachers. And if you are a teacher, do not spank someone else's kids, unless you are strapped. Seriously, our ancestors were pretty hardcore. tl;dr: most shootings at schools were single victim events. You can see a shift in the 1960's where some of the motives become things like robbery, or just suspicion. And the lists start getting longer in the 70's. In the 80's it seems like suicide became more common. The first of the events I saw plastered all over the news was in MS, in 1997. Since then, the casualties have gone way up and the number of incidents was trending up anyway. The geared up tactical last stand murder spree has become a semi regular thing since then. Look at the Virginia Tech shooting, the guy stops after the first murders to change clothes and make some public statements with photos...he was managing his PR DURING the shooting. Half of these guys have manifestos like this event is what will make them interesting enough to listen to.
