(Another) Mass Shooting in America.

I think it is more a case that IS inspired these two nutters than IS actually commissioned the attack itself. Similar in some ways to the nutter who attacked people at the London tube station.

Hilarious seeing the liberal Twitter mongs going in on "white men" just after the shooting. 

Quiet now.

Another shooting in the Good old U S of A.  This time it's Dallas, with 5 police officers killed.  6 other officers shot. 3 arrested and news breaking the 4th suspect has killed himself.

Talk about cowboys and indians, John Wane would be in his fcuking element.

They're really smart Americans, aren't they!

This has been brewing for a while, Black Americans are being shot and killed by white Police on a regular basis and the latest ones seems to have lit the blue touch paper.

I'm guessing if you were black and living in a ghetto you might have a different opinion.

Read that in 2014 1149 people were killed by police over there, it was an interesting read which went on to talk about crime implicit responses where police were more likely to perceive a person as a threat if he was black rather than if he was white (this also applied to black officers).
It then when onto suggest that recruitment adverts for the police showing them shooting and loading up with armour appealed to a certain type of person and that training is not geared to conflict resolution.

I'm talking more along the lines of the gun laws and the feel to need to own a gun.

They are obviously so far up their own arses that they cannot see the damage this is causing to your country.

I was born in the LLG, America is not my country.

Gun control is non-existent in the US, that is true, but it doesn't necessarily make the people stupid. Not condoning shooting cops obviosuly, but if you spent your life being pulled over or stopped in the street just because of your skin colour perhaps you'd lose your mind and do something stupid.

Little Lever Gutterside?

Ronnie Raygun wasn't particularly bright and they don't get higher than that?

Sadly another has happened -

Florida shooting: At least 17 dead in high school attack

At least 17 people have been killed in a shooting at a local high school in Parkland, Florida, police say.
The suspect has been named as Nikolas Cruz, 19, and is a former student at the school who had been expelled.
He reportedly pulled the fire alarm and caused chaos in the school before he started shooting, law enforcement officials told CBS News.
Students were forced to hide in classrooms as police scoured the building.

Will they ever learn?

No they won't learn Sluffy, saw one of the kids who was actually in the school during the shooting being interviewed on GMB this morning and he said the usual American mantra of "if we all had guns this wouldn't have happened" 

I find it hard to have sympathy with Americans. They bloody love guns and this is the consequences of half the nation having them.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. Their obsession with guns and the right to bear arms is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent lives. Nothing will change until they accept they have a serious problem and consider the possibility of staunch gun control. Until then, nothing will change.

They'll never overturn the second amendment without a civil war and any attempt to do so would throw the right wing militia's into paroxysms. What gets me is why do nutters with a grievance take it out on innocent kids It wasn't this guys classmates that got him expelled so why shoot them? I'd have thought that the focal point of his anger would have been elsewhere, but wiping out kids in school seems to have become a uniquely American thing.

Ten dead at a school in Santa Fe - 17 year old shooter gave himself up, too scared to commit his planned suicide apparently.

Trump still calling for teachers to be armed apparently also.

When will they ever learn?
