I agree. How big should I build my defense arsenal and should I start covering my body? I'm off on this subject. I am sick with all this dying. My brother is in dying right now from a violent act. See ya later.

Could your brother have protected himself with a gun?

That's too bad.

It's the lack of respect for life

If

6 people were injured by gun fire
6 people were injured by a knife
6 people were injured by a bomb
6 people were injured by a car
6 people were injured by a crossbow
And so on

Do you really think their is a difference. Instead of feeling for the 6 people, your level of angry goes up and down depending on which form of violence the psychopath utilized?

I am very sorry to hear about your brother. I lost a cousin to a stabbing years ago, another was hit by a truck.

Wow! That looks a lot like the usual blue red pattern in the electoral map. With the blue Roughly corresponding two areas that typically go democratic.a reply to: Mianeye

What a great country to raise children...... "mom, why is everyone carrying a gun"....."because we are afraid of our fellow citizens, child"

If the trend continues, America will look Like this....



and the trend will continue...from a cultural and societal standpoint we have turned the corner and there is no turning back.

dystopean future appeal to you?

Does anyone else find it odd that we now have 3 seemingly random mass shootings across the US in the past few days leading up to the first Presidential debate tomorrow?

My heart definitely goes out to the victims and I hate to go political, but I smell something fishy here. Especially when you have a candidate harping on gun control. No better way to gain vote then through fear.

Flame me all you want, this crap IMO has false flags written ALL over it.

I'll certainly not throw flames at you. I am fully inclined to agree with you. I also don't think these are the only events that have been employed as tactics thus far. Nor will they be the last...I think whatever may be coming will either happen in stages or will happen all at once, and on a date that absolutely no one will expect it. I think perhaps these "isolated" events might be not only for desensitization and confusion, but also to measure public reaction. I wonder, are they pleased or displeased so far with the results?

You know, I always like to see our members keeping it classy like that. I really hope a mod sees your little insincere manipulation of another member's tragedy and removes it. Unbelievable.

we already have more guns than people. you must live in a crappy neighborhood if you think its dystopian. and stop lying to kids, its not out of fear.

One man reported dead, 4 shot in total from what appears to have been an argument. None of the victims were apparently involved in the argument.

Chicago Tribune

This site is behind a pay wall but might let you see the story, I could.

RIP and I hope they catch the killer as soon as possible.

In other news there were apparently 22 shootings in Chicago alone this weekend, TWENTY TWO...so far...damn!



UPDATED WEBSITE: CBS News

There was another shooting nearby which police believe was probably related, and also a hit and run.

I don’t find it at all odd that, in the atmosphere of heightened excitement generated by the US presidential elections, three completely unrelated nutzos ran wild with guns.

And most of all, a lack of respect for themselves. The penultimate question here is WHY?

a reply to: JSpader

Wow the syrup is thick today at ATS....


"For the love of guns" comment wasn't to be taken literally

Does "For the love of God" ring a bell for any of you thick necked newbies that seemed to have made an account just to reply to me. Anyways welcome, and calm your farm.

Jesus, can we give the fuc**in anti gun stuff a rest? 9 kids just got shot and that's all you have?

You know, as long as we're at it..... The gun free zones are working really well, don't ya think? Those signs really stop those bad guys, huh?

I believe it may be you stuck on the 'gun' rhetoric..... 'For the love of God'........ does that ring a bell you sped ?

Please concentrate on the thread at hand, or i just may pull all of your one liner comments to the surface David.

Good for goose, good for the gander.

Dozens of people are shot every single weekend in Chicago bit the media virtually ignores it.

Why is this shooting getting so much more attention?

a reply to: Deny Arrogance

Because regular shootings no longer get ratings. It's all about mass shootings and riots with the media lately.
