15 killed in an elementary school shooting texas

Quote:

t least 15 people are dead after a shooting at a Texas elementary school, officials said Tuesday.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said 14 students and a teacher were killed in the shooting in Uvalde, about 135 kilometres west of San Antonio.

Abbott said the suspect, an 18-year-old man who lived in Uvalde, was also dead.

Hospital officials said earlier 13 children were taken by ambulance or bus to Uvalde Memorial Hospital.

The health of those children is unclear, as is whether they are now among those killed.

Another hospital, University Hospital in San Antonio, said earlier a 66-year-old woman was in critical condition.
Only if they had more guns in texas this would not have happened.

Maybe THIS is the time the USA changes something surrounding their gun policies.

LOL who am I fucking kidding. I think they've just resigned themselves to accepting mass shootings as a part of life down there instead.

You have to admit the only good thing about Covid is it basically stopped most of the mass shootings. At one part there I swear there was one every couple of days.

68style 05-24-2022 03:01 PM

Now all the people who were holed up in mom's basement reading online diatribes and not communicating with other humans in real life are coming out shooting tho

Sandy Hook didn't change anything so I doubt this will either.

The US has averaged more than 1 mass shooting per day for ages. Most just don't make the news.

Hondaracer 05-24-2022 03:21 PM

I remember when sandy hook happened people on my job site were legitamitely shook and angry, especially the parents

Now this is almost as bad and its second page news the second it happens lol fuck

These things happen [sort of]. But what’s truly terrifying is that you even *hint* about trying to solve the issue and over half of America freaks out about their rights etc.

In the same way that I was happy to “give up my rights” during Covid (no travel, no borders, no Vancouver island, no parties, forced masks etc) you would think PEOPLE BEING SHOT TO DEATH ON A DAILY BASIS would be a concern big enough to make people also think about their rights vs privileges.

But no. Doesn’t matter how many corpses get washed up in their classrooms.

StylinRed 05-24-2022 05:33 PM

21 dead now (18 kids, 3 adults)

And 3 more in critical (news 1130)

SkinnyPupp 05-24-2022 05:34 PM

I wonder what the "gun rights" and "anti mask" and "anti vaccine" circles look like on a Venn diagram?

Hondaracer 05-24-2022 05:42 PM

You’ll never solve it.

The only way to solve it is to go so hard on enforcement and restrictions it starts a civil war, you eat that for years on end with many deaths in hopes that 25-35 years from now somthing changes.

I think it’s far more likely we get to the point of minority report type shit where you’re predicting these crimes happening, or schools just become a one entry point concrete bunker where everyone goes through metal detectors and pat downs.

There will -never- be a time when guns are taken away from people, or even asking people to turn them in frankly

125 guns for every 100 people in the states. If it’s not at a school it will be at a mall, stadium, concert, etc.

PeanutButter 05-24-2022 06:49 PM

culture is culture. Hard to change.

Qmx323 05-24-2022 06:52 PM

Gun control crowd yells at politicians, politicians then say its a mental health crisis, then everyone agrees, then... nothing happens.

All I know is a gun sitting in a gun locker ain't doing shit without a hand to hold it, eyes to aim it, then alls left is to pull the trigger.

Fucked all around.

MG1 05-24-2022 07:18 PM

The only thing you can do is identify these people (perps) early on and get them the help they need.

Easier said than done, but gotta start somewhere.

So just give up? and you want loser restrictions on guns in Canada.

I’ve never said anything but increase restrictions and mandatory minimums as legal, law abiding owners don’t commit crimes. In Canada though we welcome violent crime with open arms. We just don’t have the amount of complete wack jobs the states do (yet)

You’ll never curb this violence, there is nothing you can do. Don’t notice a trend here? Thread after thread throwing up your arms saying what shall we do? And nothing ever changes? There’s no will, there’s no pressure.

No one’s ever cared about these shooting as much as say, the BLM matter movement etc. there is no driving force other than the parents of dead children. No one cares enough among the public to enact real change.

westopher 05-24-2022 09:45 PM

People do care enough among the public, unfortunately, the American systems and culture have created a group as large as those that want to enact change, that are a bunch of mouthbreathing, pig fuckers that are so goddamn stupid that they think you need to be able to buy a gun on every street corner to save the world from communism because some shit stained piece of paper from the 1700s told them so. These people are living in a goddamn Hollywood movie where they think that the good guy with the gun jumps out from behind a bunch of shipping containers and takes out a small army with a glock and hard work.
Now the interesting part. Will we find out these guns were legally purchased? If they were will everyone who sucks on the handle of their gun before they go to bed say “even if it was illegal he’d have just got them anyways.”
It’s always the same shit, and it’s always disgusting.

Hondaracer 05-24-2022 09:47 PM

People cared enough about trump to storm the capitol, a bunch of brain dead morons cared enough about somthing that was never ever going to happen that they shook democracy

Have yet to see anything even close to that over gun violence. The will isn’t there. It’s a tough one because who cares the most? Victims families?

If they tried to stop border crossings etc. they would get shut down in a minute by opposing protests

westopher 05-24-2022 10:02 PM

What really needs to happen if anyone wants change is they probably will need to start killing the politicians and lawmakers and their families that allow this to happen. That said, the people who want gun laws want those because they are anti violence. It’s easy to see how one side of the argument has the advantage of being willing to inflict damage for their cause while the other doesn’t.

hud 91gt 05-24-2022 10:05 PM

It’s tough to kill the corrupt family with climate change, unless
you reinvoke their A/C supply from Costco.


Pretty sad.
