Wouldn't a copycat shooting have something do with the first shooting, dumbfark?

Thus making today too soon to discuss this.

You are thinking too small. Everybody over the age of ~~18 15~~ 12 needs to be armed, all the time. It's the only way to insure that we are safe.

Funny you say that as the gunman attacked a place where he wasn't the only armed person and look how it turned out.

Skywolf Philosopher		2012-12-15 01:58:58 PM

Seriously, if at least the security could be armed legally, then folks who are armed illegally couldn't kill so much before being gunned down. Or is there some flaw in this logic that makes legal gun ownership such a bad idea?

Skywolf Philosopher		2012-12-15 02:00:12 PM

Wait, wait, nevermind, I remembered the train incident. People either don't react fast enough, are afraid to, or afraid of the consequences in a situation like self-defense.

globalwarmingpraiser		2012-12-15 02:02:01 PM

It's america's version of the suicide bomber at this point. Happening all the time.

Please, please tell me this isn't meant to be an argument that the carnage was limited because of other armed people that prevented it. If so, it'd be pretty clear that you didn't bother to RTFA before commenting.

FTFA: After the shooting, the suspect immediately put down the gun and surrendered to hospital security

Dancin_In_Anson		2012-12-15 02:14:01 PM

Yeah, I caught it too but with some of the conversations that have been occurring over the last two days, that one little difference was striking.

cameroncrazy1984: Yeah, funny how it was a policeman who took him out, not some dumbass civilian.

And had it been a dumbass civilian?

Guh?

The gunman was killed by a Birmingham police officer. Officials have not released this person's identity.

cameroncrazy1984		2012-12-15 02:19:23 PM

Dancin_In_Anson: And had it been a dumbass civilian?

Considering that that rarely if ever happens, I don't think we need to worry about that.

If a civilian took him out, would they still be a dumbass civilian?

Yes. Because who knows who else he would've shot.

Well, since that rarely if ever happens he doesn't have to answer that question.

Happy 221st Birthday Second Amendment. God Bless well-regulated militias everywhere.

You know, the bill of rights is just a piece of paper. If enough of us think gun ownership is too stupid to handle, with too many negative consequences, for too many people, we could amend it. Been done before.

Dancin_In_Anson		2012-12-15 02:33:13 PM

cameroncrazy1984: Yes. Because who knows who else he would've shot.

And had the same happened with the cop, would he have been a dumbass cop? Since we're dealing in the land of what ifs and all.

What if the civilian only took out the gunman, would they still be a dumbass civilian? Are all civilians dumbasses? Are you a civilian?

Wouldn't walking into a place and shooting a people be the same farking thing, no matter if it's a mall, school or hospital?

It's next week when the copycat killings will really start. You know, when the little kids are back in elementary school,

ARM THE COMA PATIENTS

Boojum2k		2012-12-15 02:57:49 PM

At approximately 4:00 a.m., officers from the South Precinct responded to the incident location to investigate a report of a person with a gun. Upon arrival, officers located the suspect on the 5th floor hallway. As officers approached, the suspect began firing a handgun at the officers, striking one officer and two members of the hospital staff. An assisting Birmingham Police officer returned gunfire fatally wounding the suspect. Due to the circumstances at the scene, the victims were transported to a neighboring hospital for treatment. The three victims' injuries are not life threatening.

Were the cops taking cover behind the hospital staff?

A lot. But, some of us cope. The others are farked up on prescription meds. Or, maybe it's that devil's breath shiat. Who knows.

To me, people stopped acting 'normally' decades ago.

And it sucks.
