These were all unarmed people, and 3 ended up getting hurt in the confusion. Now picture many of them being armed if you doubt the possibility of friendly fire

The crying 😢 😭 was obviously the worst part!

Again, why does not everyone take cover and follow a chain of command?

Thats perception. Here, if a gun accidentally goes off we all dont duck thinking its happening again. We go wow johno should prolly do better at gunning.
In usa maybe the number of on purpose guns going off encourages that reaction.
I live rural. We have gun owners in town, roo/pig shooters, farmers, gun enthusiasts and prolly a few "unlawful" one as well. Farmer needs to cull bad animals or euthanize herd members. Roo shooter obvious need. Enthusiasts do what they do be it range sporting shooting whatever. We will hear a bang here and there. Dont mean an active shooter is loose here. Its possible i suppose, but thats what vb bottles are for (if the buggers will stay the fuck still).
Gunshot at a US airport. I challenge many of you NOT to duck and at least give a passing thought to ohh oh, shooter.

Cool story mblake. Boomerang fucker. Now ya getten nasty. No wait, that sounds good. Thanks for the heads up.
Also, Bawy Kwipky says you needa wewax.

I see you've played knifey spooney before. I also like to type a whole bunch of words that do not mean anything, it's very quantum-woo.

Raise the age to purchase a firearm to 25 for males

Make it 35 for anyone with tattoos, poverty, obesity, or drugs in their extended lineage

profiling is only racist to people who intend to commit crimes

Profiling based on data should not be considered racist, and I would still say this if/when it happens only to white people, as long as it is supported by data. I want whatever is doing the profiling to be effective at their job, like I do for any job

Slippery slope. Using data to rationalize further evil acts is something we’re really good at, and it always goes down stream and never up stream. You can compile some robust data to illustrate that the totality of the individuals within the house and the senate are a burden to society with no redemptive value that would suggest net contribution rather than extraction of value to the country and that we’d be better with them
And their Ilk in prison and everyone in prison to be released to vigilante justice, but that shit is never going to happen (not that I’d actually want it to)

What will happen is some bullshit logical argument based on a corrupt dataset that mandates whatever authoritarian bullshit.

The solution is never more authoritarian bullshit. The solution is more community and more community accountability.

That means an attack on lawyers and insurance companies by all of us (so everyone) who are being raped brutally by these groups 24/7

You talk about legal liability like our way of handling it is a fact of life. The distopian nightmare legal liability system in the USA doesn’t exist universally. It’s something we can change. We can make it so when joe big heart runs into the school and trips and shoots a teacher through a wall on accident that he doesn’t go to prison for 75 years.

And other stupid shit that happens “under the law”

People also seem to mistake legality with morality. Please take a moment to consider how ridiculous this thought is. We see it all the time though, someone involved in some scumbag bamboozlement scheme and saying “hey, I’m
Not breaking any laws!” And the correct response is, uhh so what. The inverse is also true, when something is somehow illegal and is right. Like defying the cops surrounding the school and getting in there to stop the carnage.

Anyone who thinks the government is going to come up with a scheme to save school childrens lives really has their head in the sand. These are the guys who distribute food pyramids designed by industrial food manufacturers based on gross profit margin opportunities provided by the food types.

These are the guys who steamroll two entire countries back to back because it’s so profitable (for war industry people) to be wading through piles of human ruin. These are the guys who offered bounty on native Americans scalps while systematically destroying their communities in the most permanent ways that could be contrived.

You don’t need to relate to this evil power. The American government, the American way of rape and pillage is not your legacy. Crawling back through time, your ancestors were steamrolled and their culture deleted on the British isles by the Roman’s. You’re some bad ass indigenous blood somewhere, where you lived in a community that wasnt deprived of the basic necessities of life for the petty profit of a person who’s only moral value is the attainment of $$ that the government will allow him to hoard for himself.

America is great, but its greatness depends on the minor and seemingly insignificant actions of every single American every single day which create the collective direction of this nation. If we choose to live like or aspire to be sitting pretty like the hoarder billionaire who lives the literal definition of an evil person, nothing can save us. All of our enemies, whoever calls us “the great satan” would be correct in their analysis. We have to prove them wrong, with our actions towards our enemies and our neighbors alike.

And you can’t force it out of your fellow trauma survivors. You gotta just give and forgive all you can and hope to deter calamity just a little bit more each day.

Sorry the only practical solution isn’t a law or policy that needs to
be passed. The good news is that success doesn’t depend on the actions of millionaire politicians. It depends on you and your next door neighbor, in a web that spans our entire civilization.

Yeah our rulers can do direct damage themselves but that’s just the DD portion of a ten trillion tick DOT spell. We don’t even need to poopsock dragons for resist gear it’s right there in your soul. Bristlebane bless
