Spiders don't Rob banks

they already suspended his reddit account but he def wasnt a political extremist (on any side), dudes entire account was standard liberal rhetoric but had sprinkled in posts about being suicidal. while he could have just been suicidal more generally, im not sure why he'd reference before doing the shooting otherwise

So just a nut job okay

You say this as if this is even remotely possible

found out this dude killed his own best friend thats crazy

So many of the shootings are with AR-15's because they're following the example of others before them. Even just banning that s*** would eliminate people following that path would probably reduce something. wouldn't fix the problem cause people could use other guns but it would at least show there is a willingness to try to work on the problem

Lmao

“He said Sturgeon always wore a helmet during basketball games because he had suffered so many concussions. “The big thing I keep going back to is that in the first year of high school, we played football together in eighth grade, he was out most of the year because he had multiple concussions. Then he had a couple more in high school,” he said. “I’m not saying it’s the cause but I always think back to that… There were times I’d wonder, will this catch up with him? But never in this way. He’s the last person I'd expect would do this.”

potential CTE from youth sports might play a role

that aaron hernandez s***

What did the shooter identify as on that day?

Stop assuming the shooter is male

Sure someone can go and vote and should if they want to but thats a pretty small method of participation and only comes along every 2-4 years

It's not enough. and shouldn't be the primary solution to these problems for everyday people

this is what that comes from, his public IG story

doesn’t necessarily seem politically motivated in what would be traditionally deemed a terrorist act (obviously there is a broader political context in which this act plays a part in, etc)

i think the guy was suicidal, felt extremely alienated from his life and job and snapped and decided to take others out with him unfortunately

posting kylo ren quotes before committing a mass shooting I guess we have the first redditor shooter

So you're saying that by voting for competent leaders who aren't just being paid off by the NRA and are willing to enact gun control, or assault rifle bans won't do anything?

The US is a unique civilization I think it’s fair to say
A civilization that breeds a unique type of crazy

At a local level get involved. It starts with that.

It is possible, from a local level support the politicians who are ready to make a change. There's plenty of ways to become active politically. The only reason these old people keep getting elected is that other old people are the ones who show up in largest numbers to the ballots.

Competent leaders who aren't just being paid off by the NRA and are willing to enact gun control, or assault rifle bans

Is anyone else's site loading slower than usual on PC/mobile?

It's mostly a post-2013 smartphone, hyper connected society, with no community left, based on pure narcissism and "late stage capitalism" which further alienates people. Used to be even in recent years or so, you had a larger primary group when it comes to socializing and socialization.

Primary group often included neighbors, work or school peers, and family. There were other ways (I can't find the exact word) that included things like church, hobbies, or sports. However nowadays with the lack of this people are secluded and lonely. Causing a massive uptick in mental disorders.

On the 3rd of 5 levels of human needs we reach community, friends, sexual activity, and so forth (anything with socialization). In the American life now we are becoming secluded and/or too coddled by technological advancements (which is argued by one of many psychologists) without having to either work for that happiness and socializing or having it being replaced by technology.

It's a scary thing to come, I'll say, because times really are changing. It's seemingly becoming for the worse.

Go look at the list of donations by NRA to representatives.
