Current Events > Active shooter in Tulsa

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm seeing 4 down, including the shooter.

As I said in the other topic...

Just a normal Wednesday in America.

Great nation.

Videogames did it!

Sorry.

You're good. Ihad no clue it was even the anniversary. I couldn't have told you the date for Tulsa Massacre if my depended on it.

Might be ideological motivation regardless...

Nows not the time to get political.

*Resets clock back to "not now" on the "is it time to talk about gun control" counter*

Maybe we can talk about gun control next week. :(

Probably a reason why so many people have to learn about it from TV shows, call bullshit cause that's disgustingly evil, then quietly log off of Wikipedia after they realize that shit actually happened.

Sorry. I used to think this way too, but seriously, at this point, this subject is constantly being passed over by our government. Not even "at this point", we were due for this discussion LONG ago.

Apologies if you were just joking and don't truly feel this way.

you're probably joking, but theres actual people who believe this and by believing this have contributed heavily towards the current mass/school shooting crisis in america. its always time to get political about preventable tragedies. preferably before they happen but even after they happen is better than literally never

If only there was some way to stop this

if a certain gamefaqs mod is to be believed, more guns and "giving everyone a gun" will fix the issue

I hate how the media tries to drive people into a frenzy by posting misleading bullshit. The "active shooter' thing was also a misnomer since the criminal was already dead about half an hour before the TC posted.

Hey guys, sorry I didn't notice this topic (I was out eating at a Korean restaurant). That actually is the hospital I work at, but today is one of my days off so I wasn't there. I don't know if any of my colleagues were involved. I literally just now found out about it.

sad

...Jesus fucking christ you couldn't write this shit.
So, tone-deaf, not that I'm surprised, but still.

GT Bynum is actually a really good mayor. He got a ton of heat from Trump because Tulsa had a masking policy and he requested Trump pick a different city for his summer 2020 rally.

I'm not even going to give a reaction to it this time except one of numbness.

500 more will happen by Christmas so it's not like getting emotional will do me any good.

He did seem to temper his words a bit.
But still, that line needs to be taken out of the narrative.

Can't believe this shit happened this close to where I live, like barely a mile or two away.

Edit: Oh fuck nvm it's on my street.

A gunman who killed four people at a Tulsa hospital on Wednesday targeted a doctor who had treated him and bought the AR-15 style rifle used in the shooting on the day of the attack, police said.

Must not have been screwed up too badly if he was able to go shoot the place up.

Maybe it was real expensive and they threatened to go back in there if he didn't pay up. Something something universal healthcare isn't for freedom-loving Americans.

This is like, the 3rd big shooting in what, 2 weeks? How are we gonna dodge implementing something about these this time? They're getting a little too close together now.

Doesnt have to be completely disabling to fuck up his quality of life in major ways. I have several friends with chronic pain (from various ailments, back injuries, fibromyalgia, etc) who had to leave their careers because they couldnt continue to physically keep up with the demands of the job.

It would be difficult to overstate the amount of disdain our society has for disabled people, because as bad as you think it could be, its almost always worse. Its better than it used to be of course, but its still pretty appalling.

edit: Wanna make clear here that Im not trying to justify the shooters actions. There is no justification for what he did. But while we cant control all the time for individuals behavior, or what is going to set someone off or push them over the proverbial edge, this situation was avoidable. Its possible to have systems in place that can support people who are in crisis rather than isolating them, and we as a society have chosen to reject those systems in favor of rugged individualism, all the while making it as easy as possible for individuals who are potentially reaching a crisis point to acquire weapons that enable them to inflict mass casualties.

...because we keep getting into moral panics about pain meds, for some asinine reason.

I mean I get peoples hang-ups with opioidsIve had friends and family members addicted to them, and even lost people because of it. Its difficult, especially when youre in the areas where the opioid epidemic hit the hardest, to see them as anything but dangerous and destructive. Even though I know rationally that they arent inherently dangerous when used correctly, I would still never ever take them myself unless I had literally no other option.

Every state should have a minimum 2 week wait period after a gun purchase.
