And why are those 2 dudes standing up !! One screaming out calling the shooter a pussy.

Beer? Did you notice in videos even after second round of shots some were still holding onto their beer cans?

Looks like crazy runs in the family from this wanted poster for his "psychopathic" father.

I mean, I understand - fight or flight and all, but people are probably going to hate him for not shouting a warning or SOMETHING before bolting.

I wonder if his career is over....

First, telling them to run/panic could have made trampling deaths worse. And trying to reassure them also could have made it worse.

That said, the bullets were coming at him on the stage. Was he supposed to do public announcing while dodging bullets? The first bullets hit the front of the crowd before the shooter adjusted towards the stage. Shots hit the tarps/curtains as well as speakers and lights on the stage. Then he went back to the crowd.

The video with the closer view of him when it happens, you can barely see a few richochets, and then see and hear some of the bullets hit the fabric.

It only matters if it reduces OVERALL crime.

It doesn't. Repeatedly, we've got this proof.

There are only a few locations in which this worked, and they are almost entirely homogeneous, eschew gang violence and have massive respect for each other.

Japan is one such nation. But, if one looks at other crimes like rape, they have 27x LESS rapes than the US per capita. They have massive respect for life, for elders, and don't remotely allow other cultures to come in and tell them how to operate.

In countries with less homogenous populations, gun control has failed. Australia is one example. They had a knee jerk reaction to a mass shooting.

Sure, suicide and homicide by firearm went down.

Violent crime went up. Suicide rates remained the same. In other words, great - you've disarmed the public, who can't fight back against violent criminals. Aren't you glad they couldn't shoot the perpetrator? *golf clap*

Australia's natural curve downward (which is close to the US, which has the safest streets from gun violence in over 50 years, actually) stalled after their buy back. They were the only country to do so in that time among first world countries.

And despite MORE guns in the hands registered to citizens than ever, gun crime continues to fall. It falls at a faster rate than the desperately increasing gang violence, which most other countries don't have to deal with en masse.

More than 90% of total mass shootings (where stats include gang violence, because often, they exclude them, sometimes because they claim it's racist towards blacks and Hispanics as much as "they have their other reasons" or something), are done by ILLEGAL WEAPONS.

Our existing laws would prevent the vast majority of gun violence. Imagine that. Except, we went soft on gun crime, including possession by a felon because it "disproportionately affected minorities". In fact, that same rationale is being used to campaign for allowing felons their chance to get gun rights back after 10 years.

Vegas shooter? Completely illegal and has been for decades. It didn't stop him.

So yeah, if one getting schooled in gun laws, by people who know something about it predicts a "gun happy culture", then perhaps that one should feel worse about being a moron, over the blindingly irrational fear of being wrong.

Most graphic photo I've found so far.

I'm a paramedic and can't even imagine where one would begin. Approaching prior to confirmation of the shooter being neutralized would be folly. Like most mass casualty incidents nearing this magnitude, the heroes were regular folk.

First of all You don't fucking decide what it is. The forum decides. You don't fucking like it, use another feature of the DISCUSSION FORUMS and block what you don't want to read, since it is apparent you lack control of the mental capacity to simply ignore.

The news section of the forums doesn't cater to your idea of a fix, exclusively. It is a discussion of current events.
