Domestic and International 'Nutter Runs Amok' Thread

Yikes, "bro"

Apparently some kids knew he was going to do this

Christ. That's genuinely terrifying

I thought I was used to all this, but that video managed to bring me to tears. What a fucked up world.

I read an article about the active shooter drills that schools in the us do. That alone would be enough to traumatise anyone. So fucking sad.

Land of the free, and the bullet proof school bag

You can't say "freedom" without "this isn't the time, but thoughts and prayers"

Presumably handguns come with a card for a local 'so your kid murdered his classmates with you gun' lawyer, save having to google.

Only 2nd story on CNN and Fox, no biggy, didn't even make double figures. They can argue in court about what the bare minimum for a 'rampage' is.

Yeah I was just thinking, why should this guy end up behind bars when Kyle get a photo op with Trump? They need to do something about their fucked up culture. 

All in all it's a good thing if this doesn't get the hero worship coverage the shooters usually crave. But a country that gushes over Ritehowsurtreheyser's really shouldn't be surprised to see horrible acts like this.

It's not just the easy access to guns that's at fault here. 

At one point moving to the US was an option for us. When it came down to deciding if we really wanted to pursue it more seriously the fact that there is a chance, albeit a slim one, that some sick fuck could mow down my child's class room.
That was a deal breaker.

Yeah, exactly.
Not an acceptable risk at all.

I think if they retrospectively wiped any shooters from all forms of social media and did not mention any details of them in the normal media, then it might go some way to making these people think twice. A lot of them just seem to be wanting the attention they end up getting.

However, in a country that can't even stop kids getting hold of guns, there's no chance of them doing anything.

And sometimes the murderers get to go to tea with an ex-President (and probably a media career and a film about them) so it's worth a gamble. American Roulette.

Man alive. That's insane

Was going to make a jokey comment, but thinking about my kids in a high school half a mile away...any other country in the world would surely do something about this?

I worked near Dunblane at the time, I remember parents in my dept diving into cars and driving out as soon as the news broke. They let classes know one by one, till it was just the P1 class's parents hanging about outside the school, must have been unimaginable awful. 

My 13yr old keeps going on about Airsoft, I really don't want him too, but can't explain why not without getting upset.
