Greenwood mall shooting

[Keith_Indy]

Don’t know if that’s rhetorical, but at least one “they” is Shannon Watts in a now-deleted tweet. This guy has a screenshot of it in his video:

Oh, so the usual idiots, same ones who couldn’t codify abortion rights in 50 years.

They don’t want to solve the issue, they want to make money and hold power

Yes! When I duck-ducked Polo Run I saw the street name with King's Mill in it and I remembered that was what it used to be. It had been getting "rough" for awhile I think.

I lived there in the mid to late 2000's and it was a decent place to live for the first few years. By the time I left, it was pretty sketchy. IIRC, there was a shooting in the building I used to live in within a year of moving out. There have been a number of stabbings/muggings since as well.

That can't be. I hear that 9mm can't even swing a steel plate.

Dementia Joe says that 9mm bullet magazine cartridge thingies blow the lungs out of the body....

 

[AJMD429]

Not at all.

My son has had no training other than me, who has had no 'formal' training, and at age 13 he could hit an 8" gong five of eight shots using a 1911 in 45 ACP, standing at 100 yards. On a good day, I might be able to do that from a rest with a Contender pistol in 22 Hornet...

Another thought before pressing on with the day: baked his laptop and tried to flush (?? my thought only, no Intel) his phone (which is a small computer) how often do we see this? Newtown: destroyed the hard drive. Vegas: hard drives went missing while house under surveillance.

Dont watch national media. Problem solved.

We need to use that to show the idiocy of such rules

Within 6 months, they will be portraying this as a shootout between two guys, both illegally carrying with 3 victims caught in the crossfire. It's how they will squeeze this into their small minds

You actually think this will be remembered in 6 months by most of them?

I saw comments on a YouTube News post for a ch. 13 story where someone claimed that the kid had 7 wounds when he arrived at the hospital DOA. If so, damn impressive to land 7/10.

Yeah, I’m not buying that. I’m not doubting that he hit 7/10. I just don’t think he hit 7/10 on a dynamic target from 40 yards. 40 feet? Yeah, I think that’s believable.

 

[88E30M50]

I'm really thinking I might bump up to the 10mm. Last thing ya want is a wounded guy with a AR turning his sights on you. I never owned a tokarev but have considered it

.357 Sig will get the job done too but it will be more expensive to put the scum down that way. I'm a giving person and will gladly shoulder that expense though

 

[88E30M50]

Yeah, pretty sure none of us here are normal.

And thank God we are not. I've seen enough 'normal' to know that I don't want to join that messed up club

 

[two70]

Maybe if you choose not to or don't want to see the unusual behavior?

Some people choose to ignore problems until bad actions happen. Then it's too late for the unfortunate victims.

Could be why we are talking about this?

It's always easier to recognize problems in hindsight than in the moment. Many people likely have the same or extremely similar warning signs and will never decide to become a mass shooter.

 

[BigRed]

All's well that ends well.

Well....Might depend upon whether you have 400 Texans or one Hoosiers

I equate "normal people" with Sheeple and never want to rejoin that club.

The anti's ignorance is on full display now. I would like to see some comments from the people that were in that food court and are still breathing because of that young man. To face a guy with a rifle with only handgun and apparently no " professional" training took a lot of guts.

Yet if we always marginalize, there will never be another psychotic caught before they kill. Certainly a lot of mentally unhealthy people don't kill. So we ignore them all?

If we bury our heads in the sand to known warning signs of mental trouble, yet don't act to mitigate the danger to self and others, at what point in time does that change to enabling and abetting?

 

[Keith_Indy]

24 shots from the mall shooter means he didn't get a full mag off. Well, unless he was to weak to fully load a magazine, or he started on his 2nd mag, both seem unlikely to me.

+1 for hero of Greenwood stopping the threat as quick as he did.

I understand the point you're trying to make but you are equating not getting a driver's license and not being gainfully employed with mental illness and murderous intent. That's a bridge too far for most yet you refuse to put down your shovel.

I don't think he ever went to the hospital because he was laying in the bathroom hallway dead with a "dead" sign next to his ass for a while.
One shot was in the neck, and possibly 2 center chest and maybe 1 in the right arm.
Exactly what this POS deserved.
Maybe the hospital is where they're going to do the autopsy though.
