News crew shooting in Virginia

[ceyko]

One of the first things taught in any kind of self defense or firearm class is to be aware of your surroundings. If you can't recognize a threat you can't possibly defend yourself.

It may have been covered already, but there are times you simply can't be 100% aware of your surroundings. In this case, 2 were doing their jobs and focused on it and 1 was focused on the interviewer.

There are a million reasons why you'd not always be aware of a problem coming down, especially in the work place and if you're first on the list to be shot/stabbed/blown up.

However, from a gun/rifle behind every blade of grass point of view - things can be diffused quicker - in theory. The problem is, our legal/court system is so screwed up, a "hero" will be run through the ringer and broke by the end of it - in a lot of cases.

Gay black man kills two honkies? I am surprised there is even a news story.

QOTD material for me right here. It was said on the radio, that had this not been on live news it never would've made national news.

Still having a hard time giving a shit. It is an isolated incident.

[abecx]

All lives matter.

[CexMashean]

I only give a shit because it goes completely against the narrative the media tries to grab on to and portray as your stereotypical shooter.

[Sean88gt]

All lives matter.

To some, yes. Those close to them and whatnot. But I have a hard time digging up sympathy for someone I never met, nor touched my life in any way.

If they were honest they would have to admit that the typical shooter is a black male between the ages of 17-34 who is also a convicted felon but that doesn't help get any new anti gun laws passed.

I was mocking BLM movement, not you!

[LS1Goat]

Not sure this will work from my phone

Where do you find this conspiracy crap?

Are people really this stupid? Twitter returns time/date in GMT time zone. If you log into twitter and correctly set your time zone, it gets converted and you'll see what the actual time stamp was for that tweet.

Abracadabra!

[ceyko]

Ya, I'm not saying gun control politicians would not sink this low, I just don't think they did in this case.

You dangled the lure and I attacked that bitch like I wanted to be a wall mount.

[Bputacoma]

Soo we have this now...

[IHaveAMustang]

Just...wow

[cool cat]

Soo we have this now...

I thought it was 40 acres and a mule?

Shows you the state of race relations in this country. It seems nothing will improve, ever.

[46Tbird]

That can't be real. The concept of "forty acres and a mule" is entirely outside the realm of comprehension for anyone that fucking dumb.
