one question, how should the media cover these type of stories to prevent copycats

[Dennis3450]

I do not have an answer but here is how it should not be done, if you watch it please join me in giving it a thumbs down

From the comment section Rocket Man nails the problem

[Dennis3450]

one thing the media could do, or I should say not do. Do not put the shooters face on TV or in print, same with his name, let him be faceless and nameless. For those who just must know his name that information can be placed on the media’s website. Let’s stop making infamous celebrities’ out of these killers

[SmallPaul]

darn shame something that was pretty much 100% safe for the everyday american like schools, church, barbershops, grocery shopping are now being effected by mass shooters

[Blackduck]

@Dennis3450

These lone-wolf mass shooters always seem to feed off of each other, they see someone getting lots of attention they want the same and this happens.

Any idea on the motive??

‘Sad day for Boulder’: Gunman kills 10 at Colorado supermarket, including police officer, in second US mass shooting in a week

“These were people going about their day, doing their shopping,” Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty said at a late-night press briefing. He described the day’s events as “a tragedy and a nightmare.”

Do you realise that this is a political thread, not a thread for you to just post news clips from CNN?

Go post this stuff on twitter. You will be a hero and you may even get some likes and re-tweets.

Oh my goodness. Your comments are so rude. It tells me you are sexist. You have a hatred of women. I’m also black so you are also racist. Unbelievable!!! And I am gay so you ar a homophobe.

My wife and I have very recently taken on our first foster, so I will be spending a lot less time (possibly none at all to begin with) on here and on other forums I visit. I may pop back in between fosters, time permitting, but honestly don’t know .
Take care all.

Another story making the rounds is the firing of White House staffers for smoking pot in the past, The big question that no one is asking is why is the VP exempt from these firings,

The Gimmedat swamp creatures are always exempt from having to answer for their actions - I cite biden’s bribery by the CCP and his Son’s Laptop. The “Also me” accusations against biden - etc etc

@Dennis3450

When something like this happens it is best to get local news and avoid the agenda-driven national media, so far no motive is being reported,

These lone-wolf mass shooters always seem to feed off of each other, they see someone getting lots of attention they want the same and this happens.

@Blackduck

Any idea on the motive??

I suggest the “motive” behind the publicity is to set the ground for yet another attack on American freedom - Communists ALWAYS want to disarm the populus - and I remember a discussion we had 3 years ago on the same subject on which thread @Clint posted an excellent link which we would do well to remember;
,

Did the Assault Weapons Ban Slow the Acceleration of Mass Shootings?

The Gun and Knife Show in Greensboro, North Carolina, is an annual event. At least it has been in recent years. But this month, the Greensboro City Council, in an over-zealous attempt to be politically correct, scheduled a public meeting to discuss whether to cancel the event. Mark Robinson, a resident of Greensboro, had decided the time was right to buy a gun for self protection against rising gang violence in his city. And he planned to attend the Gun and Knife Show to make his purchase. …

And a little later on in the same thread I posted a response as to the individual motive - which I think stands well enough here to simply link back to it

Did the Assault Weapons Ban Slow the Acceleration of Mass Shootings?

It certainy is ! There has been much written here about some aspects of the problem society has just now, “Mass shootings” is a symptom of those problems, NOT the problem itself. I guess many of us here are “Baby boomers” and as such there is a difficulty we have with understanding the current phenomenon of “Social Justice Warriors”. Or even that such people exist in any meaningful way. Yet they are respnsible for imposing on the majority Mr Robinson speaks of, all the current “changes” which…

I don’t see any reason to revise what I wrote there much - except perhaps to re-emphasise what others more famous than I have said ;

“You can’t make war on males indefinitely without expecting some sort of pushback”

What amazes me personally is that so many just quietly commit suicide - completely anonymously.

13 men and boys per day - each day - every day - here in the uk - they cause no trouble to anyone - just quietly opt out of their own misery.

Presumably because they cannot live with their “Privileged status” !

[SmallPaul]

be nice if these people just take their own life if they can’t cope with a changing world, everything else is just an excuse for their actions, it’s all an illusion in their sick little minds

These are the same people ( talking of the left) that say we evolved from monkeys and everything we are is a process of evolution. Yet they think you can change 10,000 years of evolution with a new company sexual harassment policy and a 1hr seminar. unreal

If you read about the opioid crisis you will see that the vast majority will kill themselves. These are still people just like you and me that are suffering and it is our changing world that is causing this. It does not have to be this way

@Blackduck

I am still waiting to see one, The American news media is quick to report motive when it fits their political agenda but not so much if they can’t use the story to further divide the country.

Interesting how these shooting sure did occur at a convenient time to take the Boarder Crisis and Cuomo off the front page. A conspiracy minded person might see this as a well stage distraction

@Falstaff

“You can’t make war on males indefinitely without expecting some sort of pushback”

I’d add you cannot make war on white males without expecting some sort of pushback.

going around killing people is not the answer, it makes the war much easier
