Of course I know what Mexico is, and I know there are shootings there, and they happen more than in the States or in other countries. What I'm saying is that shootings like this one don't happen a lot in the US. Maybe a couple a year or whatever, but it's not like there's anything to worry about.
I feel bad about it, I'm up in Chicago and i heard about it almost immediately after leaving the theater
But some people just cant be civil, Are mentaly unstable,
People die every day. People never think about crazy things that go on in other countries, albeit rarely. But once it happens in any first world country (usually America who blows their own news out of proportion), "oh no."Everyone and their mothers have to get all butt-hurt about it. Stay away from all these negative things. They rarely bring up any sort of discussion value other than everyone agreeing that whomever did some twisted act has a morbidly twisted mind. Keep the wounded in your hearts and thoughts, and the deceased closer. No need to ***** and complain about it. Some people crack. Some people get into things they shouldn't have. Face the facts and move on.
I personally have given up PARTS of humanity. You her of war and senseless killings nowadays and it just sickens me.... I wish people could just get along and find another way to express there feelings.

Agreed.
Too bad your post will get ignored by most who will continue in their blatant jacking off of this event until the mass media inevitably stops bringing it up every single ****ing day. This is the land of the wank.
I just saw this on the internet: http://www.independe...st-7963937.html
It's ****ing ridiculous. What the government needs to do is make gun laws stricter. Americans keep saying they should let people have guns for "Self defense", but they just use them to kill each other. Guns NEED to be banned completely.
That would have the same effect that the banning of drugs is having right now, the creation of yet another black market. What we actually need to do is stop bringing up guns every god damn time someone uses one.

The part that gets to me though is when terrible things go on in the world people don't care. With the uprising in Syria hundreds of people have been killed by their government, the ones who are supposed to protect the citizens that sure, there may be a news story or two, but then everyone puts it out of there mind. News crews cover it for a day, or part of a day and move on. But when something happens in the United States everyone jumps in and acts like they care. The news is showing only that story for a few days. Truth is people want to seem normal and jump in acting like they care, which some truly do, but most are just concerned with themselves. Like the news crews that go and talk to the victims, forcing themselves at the seen, not giving them any space. The want to get the story so they can make money off of it. Because when you really get down to it its all about the money. Syria has no money, larger groups like the U.N. don't want to help because guess what, there is nothing in it for them, they won't get richer for helping Syria overthrow the government. Any excuse they can find will be good for them. Like when the U.S. joined in in world-war two they had lent billions of dollars to allies like Britain and France. Sending troops was like a way to make sure they wouldn't lose all the money. Everyone just turns and looks the other way when something happens in a small, weak country. But when something like this happens in a big country people from that country act scared, they fear for their lives, they act like they cared about the people who were killed or injured, like it was a big deal. But no one cares when it was somewhere else, far away from here. Humans are a very strange species. We act like we all care for one another sometimes we truly do, but mostly it is and act. Some humans act like they are better than others (racists, homophobes). Some condone these views, others see them as small minded people, who are not open to things they don't think like. In other species you don't see this. Animals don't care whether you are a different color, or if you are gay. It simply doesn't occur to them. Perhaps we could learn a lesson from them. If we want to survive we have to look past these simple things." Why does it matter to you if it doesn't affect you?" This is a quote that we all could learn a little bit from. This can apply just about anywhere. It can be viewed as good and bad under different circumstances. We tend to follow this when talking about things going on in other small countries, but when something like the shooting happens it gets thrown out the window. Even though it may not directly affect you people act like they care, like they feel bad for the people involved. While I'm not saying that it wasn't a terrible thing to happen to the innocent people in the theater, because it was. I am saying that why is this something that people care about, but no one seems to notice other things that go on in the world. Everyday we live is just another day we could cease to exist with this world we live in. Banning guns, and bombs won't stop many of the innocent lives lost outside the area of the ban, which no one ever seems to think about.Unfortunately I don't think this will change, at least not for a long time.
Please don't let this offend you, but if I have then I deeply apologize for whatever I have done to offend you. Also, my apologies for going extremely off topic.
I will never be able to understand the world we live in, or the people in it.
"Amendment II A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
I'm not American, so I'm not a hundred percent sure, but wasn't that written centuries ago where they actually needed a Militia?
16 dollars. Yay America! Why the hell would ANYONE need to buy a tear gas grenade if not to commit a crime?
I really hope guns/grenades are banned here.
Why would you need a gun if not to commit a crime? A pocket knife or stun-gun are both effective defensive weapons. You don't need a sledgehammer to take out a fly...
Do we really need three ****ing threads on this? (One in the political section, two in the off-topic section)
Oh, and here's some words of wisdom from Michael J. Lowell from Learn to Counter:
ITT: A combination of people:
...defending their right to make fun of the incident by saying "humor is how people deal with these things", rather than being candid that they have no emotional connection to the incident and simply don't give a crap.
...using the incident to explain how there needs to be fewer restrictions on gun control, since the first thing any intelligent person would do in a crowded, pitch-black theatre under attack by a gunman (who as I've read, reportedly used chemical agents designed to further reduce visibility) is pull out their gun and start firing back.
...using the incident to explain how there needs to be more restrictions on gun control (as though there aren't countless other methods for inflicting high casualties on a small concentration) and ignore the complexities of "why people kill", spanning economic, psychological, educational, and political purposes far beyond "LOL IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A GUN HE COULDN'T HAVE SHOT NO ONE", complexities which haven't come close to being understood as they apply to this particular incident.
...an inane urge to immediately and indirectly pin the violence on their most hated political talking heads, a shooting which centered on a movie theater playing a screening of a movie series in which "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
To anyone who thinks americans should be allowed to have guns:
Here in england, its hard to get a gun, and laws have gotten stricter since massacres in the past. I dont know the statistics, but im sure alot less people are shot in england than america. Think of something like a small dispute between some friends. Could end with a black eye. But no, they could have handguns, and kill each other. The american government seriously need to just realise guns need banning either completely, or just only allow people to have them for valid reasons. Only then will massacres like this happen less frequently. If the US government loosen gun laws like in the article i showed earlier, these massacres are just going to happen alot more.
TL:DR: Ban guns US government.
I love how people don't bother reading the ****ing thread before posting. Not even the very last post (which you've just proved the point I made there, BTW).
There's no point in banning guns. It's just going to create a black market like there is with drugs.
I think it should be a more difficult process to obtain a gun, though. Not outlawed.
The world is full with wonderful things, don't enclose yourself to such negative thoughts.
I don't think shootings happen a lot.
You've obviously never heard of Mexico.
Isn't that the country below the US?
Of course I know what Mexico is, and I know there are shootings there, and they happen more than in the States or in other countries. What I'm saying is that shootings like this one don't happen a lot in the US. Maybe a couple a year or whatever, but it's not like there's anything to worry about.
They don't happen HERE a lot, but they still occur HERE too frequently.

What ever happened with gun control hmm?

I guess you're out of luck.

That would be like limiting the rights of Americans, and that is NOT in their definition.

It's called the bill of rights

Weren't Bruce Wayne's parents killed at a theater?
