    This police department pretty openly sided with a fucking Nazi who killed a bunch of brown kids. Which shouldn't be a surprise to any of us, he was doing the cops' job for them.

    Fucking hell. :(

    I used to think it was because they were preparing to safely and properly go in with a plan. However I have seen so much evidence cops are crazier than Rambo when it comes to brown people so that does not make any sense to think that. At this point I really have to say I think they were waiting for the white kid to get tired of shooting people so he could surrender, and the kid forced them to shoot him. Like really forced them by actually going up to them while they pleaded with him to drop the gun and risked their safety in the extreme so as not to kill the poor white child with a gun.

    Really, it took an hour to muster up enough people and go in to save the oh so important children in Texass? Were they all washing their guns at the same time? Do they know the spare gun is not supposed to be washed at the same time as your main gun? In an hour I could buy a gun from walmart and go to my nephew's school and do an assault on an active shooter. I could probably gather up a couple of people and walk them through covering each other while we cleared the school.

    This is texas. Where the fuck was the armed heroes? If there is anyplace where this should have been stomped fast by the tough god cops it should have been tesas. Is the only time they get tough and beat someone when they are an unarmed black woman who did not use their signal light? Sandra Bland was beaten and killed because they could not let her go after they gave her a ticket for not using her signal, but they let this guy go into a school and shoot kids for an hour.

    Every cop within an hour of this needs to be fired and any of them who have shot a black person who was not armed need to be arrested for murder. This is proof they are all lying. There are no good apples because a good apple would have gone in.

    Ehh, sorta. Some of our states had their first European arrivals as part of the convict groups but the convict history side of Australia, while present, isn't as prominent domestically as it is internationally. (Many Americans are often surprised to find out that the start of deportations to Australia was largely related to the American revolution meaning the policy of deporting criminals to colonies there had to end)

    There's definitely a pride among many who feel they can trace their family trees back to those initial settlers though for sure.

    This is the type of thing I'd love to plaster in the Gunpocalypse gun wanking thread in Camp Wordforge, but won't, because while @Paladin will cry that having to treat people with basic respect like using their names is an outrageous imposition on his freedom of speech, he sure is quick to report and ask for punishment of people who intrude on that safe space.

    Probably shouldn't be a moderator if you can't abide by the rules. :shrug:

    I can abide by the rules, which is why I don't do it and give warnings to other people if they do.

    Probably shouldn't an an amoral gun-nut racist. :shrug:

    I get it. It is a perfectly natural feeling and thank you for being a decent moderator because I know a lot of boards Paladin is too afraid to show his face in where they would do exactly what you wanted and then play "punt him for fun" if he complained. I have seen it happen to his type and also been the flaming ball of troll hate that came back to torment and destroy a couple of boards for that treatment. By destroy I mean make it so they were never the same again in being open and stringing people along before they banned them.

    I know you may not care for my personal opinions, but :mrsa: for being a decent moderator Paladin should be thankful for. Because I have been the type to go way overboard on flamenuking some obnoxious pompous good for nothing twat on the internet.

    @Paladin it is because of my respect for moderators like Bailey and this place that your life is not a heap of fucked. You really should be thankful, but in order to teach that lesson I would have to violate this space, and you just simply are not worth it.

    Eh, that's overselling it, I'm just long done with pretending that people are anything other than what they go out of their way to tell us they are.

    It's bad enough seeing these stories from the outside, I can only imagine how it is living over there and knowing that the small dicked fuckwits will stop any action that could prevent it from happening again.

    Part of the prime-time news just on here was Ted Cruz giving talking points on how the solution is for schools to have one door in and out, with multiple armed guards on it.

    JFC how insane.

    Since you two are incapable of any discipline, nobody else should even bother trying. Useless, idle "critics."

    Yep. Gotta be 100% or nothing. No point in bothering at all if you aren't guaranteed uncompromising success.

    Oh, and for anyone who thinks the United States of American doesn't have a gun problem:

    There are approx. 400-million firearms in private hands in the U.S., more than the next 25 countries combined.

    :wtf:

    I'm getting tired of those who share culpability here pretending that this is about mental health services rather than guns. Lots of lunatics in other countries too. Vanishingly few of them end up doing this.
