Tragic!


A hoax caller called in to one of the news station's claiming to be a witness, and started giving an account of what happened and what the shooter was saying, and he was getting interviewed live on air for about 5 minutes. And then out of nowhere he called the news anchor a "Dumb Fcuk"

That photo of the guns spelling out Trump has been around for years, it doesn't originate from this shooting

Wilfully blind or morally complicit, MB. I fear it's mostly the latter

Even aside from simple gun control, there are three steps that should be taken by the US immediately (and that evidently won't be):

- close down 8chan
- launch a federal investigation into the NRA's lobbying of members of Congress
- declare a national emergency over domestic terrorism and neo-Nazism

But we all know that the usual suspects will twiddle their thumbs, tweet "thoughts and prayers!" and at most appear briefly willing to discuss tackling mental health issues

Not with this administration led by that orange abomination.

...horrendous......it’s also being looked at as a domestic terrorist incident ...how can someone so young as he is, have so much hate established inside him/inside his heart...and then be so easily armed...the terror of those people as they scrambled to hide...and waited...it’s inconceivable.....

so much hate, and that you can legally own such a powerful weapon is pretty insane

Donald Trump’s anti-migrant rhetoric has stoked racism in the United States and led directly to increased violence such as the mass shooting in El Paso on Saturday that left at least 20 people dead, according to Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke.

Any news on a manifesto?

I've heard rumours there is one, but they just might be rumours and nothing more.

Possible nexus of a hate crime, is all they're saying for now
