Major law enforcement response after reports of shooting at a school in Texas

[Kutnupe14]

My guess would be that’s a leftist trying to pour on as much bull**** as they can. **** like that is probably in the leftard handbook!

Do you really think this, or is it something you just hope is true?

 

[churchmouse]

This.
So I wonder if they're doing this for ratings, or in order to force a copycat effect.

Either way it is ratings.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

This. 24/7 on multiple channels.
They changed suicide reporting because of the copycat effect.

It's 100% impossible to go back. There's no way for the entire media complex to agree on not reporting the details of shooters. It can never happen.

There will always be independent outlets that hassle people close to the situation to get the info and get it out there.

This pandora's box can never be closed, and it's way too profitable for the media... damn the consequences of it.

With freedom comes risk... and that risk will be increased as time goes on, as we grow more and more attached to having to know everything about everything. The "information age" has devastating effects on society.

Unless we work to make targets hard as ****, I think shootings will increase over time... and with that, it'll be easier for the increasingly-liberal society to pressure government to restrict 2A further.

2A won't be around forever.

Yes sir.

We virtually NEVER hear about the school shootings that get stopped before they start because of a good guy with a gun.

Of course not.
I point that out to people, and they look perplexed.
It's almost like the media is trying to feed a fire.

Again........Ratings. Follow the money.

I do not like Don Henley, but Dirty Laundry rings a bell here.

I'm curious what spin the anti-gunners will have with this nutjob using a Shotgun and Revolver. It doesn't quite fit their latest narrative on banning semi-auto rifles and high capacity magazines.

And whats all the trenchcoat haters?
I wear a trenchcoat on the weekends on the bike trails. Does that make me a killer?

There are those already saying, ban all guns, eliminate the 2nd Amendment.

 

[actaeon277]

They'll say it's proof we need to ban all firearms

Some already do.
Look at that guy running for Boulder Colorado Councilman, photo'd wearing a "Repeal the 2nd Amendment" T-Shirt, while giving the cameraman the finger.

Rather than filling prisons with the assbag mass killers and leaving them to rot in isolation, while being a financial drain on tax payers we need a mandatory Federal death penalty sentence for these types of crimes. We need a means of limiting their appeals process...especially when they have confessed. No need for all the psychiatric evaluations and spending millions to imprison/house these killers. 90 days for a case review and then send them to the gallows, hang 'em up high and let 'em swing till the sun goes down.

 

[actaeon277]

Responsible thing to do would be to keep him locked up, nowhere near a microphone or the press... and let him rot without allowing him to get his nonsense message out.

But I'm sure he'll get interviewed somewhere... and say his piece in court. And someone will leak it.



They claim he planned to kill himself, but chickened out. Probably what the .38 was for.

This.
STOP giving these *******s airtime.

I agree with none of this... mainly because of the potential for the innocent to get caught up in this web, and then quickly "dealt" with.

And yet we are able to do it with suicide reporting.

Nothing juicy or profitable about suicide. It's too easy to play-off with different excuses.

Shootings, however... choc-full of potential to exploit.

I think it could happen.
Media puts on the same campaign they have now. Except now, they tell everyone that they are going to be responsible. Minimal reporting. No airtime for the criminal. No 24/7 stuff.
Then go on how they are being responsible. Start shaming people that try to pick up the 24/7 thing. Make it "irresponsible.

Ya but the Sixth Amendment says -

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public execution, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall ... (words)

So the faster the better.

A good bit of both of your options? I have to ask myself, why would this be on the up and up? It’s so brazenly stupid that I would “hope” no trump/2nd amendment supporter would do it.......but it makes perfect sense for an anti to show up at that scene decked out like that. “Look at how crazy the gun nuts are”! Either way, I hope this ****tard gets what he deserves, which, among other things consists of a serious ass kicking.

I really believe this nut is for real. They walk freely among us.

Mandatory death penalty at the state level without a fair trial?

What could possiblt go wrong?
