NYC Subway Shooting

[lawdog77]

If only everyone in the mall had been packing and opened fire. That woulda solved it!

Well, he is claiming self defense, that he was shot at first. Despite the fact that he was was involved in a previous murder, he was able to purchase a firearm legally. Didn't have a conceal carry license (not that  having a conceal carry license would have stopped anything)

Gunfight at a Pittsburgh party over the weekend, with most guests/participants believed to be under 18.

Meanwhile, far-right activists in several states, including Texas, Montana and Louisiana, have teamed up with politicians to remove books and cut library boards.

Guns good ... books bad! 'Murica!

Unicorns and rainbows are being cancelled, too.  Sad!

Money handed out to criminals for self-help...outstanding logic, hey?

Remove libraries altogether and shift the funding so we can put a Glock in every newborn's hands.

For safety.

Can you imagine if libraries didn't exist and we tried to get them implemented in today's political/cultural climate?

"You want ME to pay for someone else to have access to books??"

Couldn't happen.  How many fainting spells would the woke right have seeing books being available to kids?

Well, considering most of the first public libraries were privately funded, I would assume we would have left leaning and right leaning libraries.

Libraries would go the way of book stores. Libraries should be retooling their physical product delivery anyway.

They are. Have you visited your library recently?

Umm, yes I have which is my point to Rico.

Gotcha, misread.

How come nobody ever mentions on here the daily mass shootings in Chicago every day?

LOL.  Yeah... NOBODY has mentioned that here on Scoop. 

[Pakuni]

How come nobody ever mentions on here the daily mass shootings in Chicago every day?

Cause there aren't daily mass shootings in Chicago every day.
(As opposed to those daily mass shootings every week?)
Also, it's no longer 2016. Find a new dog whistle.

Nobody is mentioning another unarmed black man being shot in the head by a cop.  Perhaps we are just numb.

That's because it was justified. I have plenty of black, white, yellow, etc. friends, yet none of them have ever gotten shot in the head by a cop. That's because none of them have put themselves in situations that would lead to something like that. Crazy.

[tower912]

Flabbergasted that we would disagree.

Racist trolls have no friends.

C'mon, 82.
I'm sure his many "yellow" friends appreciate being called "yellow."

Forget banning books. How about a nice Germany style book burning?

Same effect, but much more stylish.

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh, what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow

Where are your green and blue friends?

From op-ed in the Charlotte Observer:

The arrival of the pandemic and protests over George Floyd's killing spurred a surge in people buying guns. Nationally, gun sales rose by 65 percent in 2020 to a record of nearly 23 million guns – many of them sold to first-time buyers. Texas, with seven gun sales per 100 adults, led the nation. Not surprisingly, the Lone Star State is experiencing a sharp increase in road rage shootings.

The Center for American Progress published an analysis in March 2020 that showed that across the U.S. 1.8 million guns were stolen from individuals between 2012 and 2017, including 97,467 in North Carolina. The number of annual gun thefts is likely higher today. In Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, for instance, 1,099 guns were reported stolen in the first nine months 2021, an increase of 36 percent over the prior year, according to police data reviewed by WCNC Charlotte.
