Political Discussion
Who was the first? |
Brenda Spencer had the worst father of all time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Elementary_School_shooting_(San_Diego) After her parents separated, she allegedly lived in poverty with her father, Wallace Spencer. Both father and daughter slept on a single mattress on the living room floor in a house strewn with empty bottles from alcoholic drinks. In December, a psychiatric evaluation arranged by her probation officer recommended that Spencer be admitted to a mental hospital for depression, but her father refused to give permission. For Christmas 1978, he gave her a Ruger 10/22 semi-automatic .22 caliber rifle with a telescopic sight and 500 rounds of ammunition. Spencer later said, "I asked for a radio and got a rifle." Asked why he had done that, she answered, "He bought the rifle so I would kill myself." |
Spare us the good guy with a gun shit. |
Hundreds of thousands, or more, of lives have been saved by firearms. |
You mean because of victories in war? Now, do all the lives taken by firearms. All of them over time. |
Yes- made famous by The Boomtown Rats, lead by Bob Geldoff. You’d know Bob better as the creative genius behind the massively successful charity events Live Aid, Band Aid and Live 8, plus he go wrote Do They Know It’s Christmas Time At All? - which is still on the radio. The song he wrote concerned a 16 year-old female mass shooter in California: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Elementary_School_shooting_(San_Diego) There have been a few others. Not many though. |
There was a girl in 1979 who shot up her California school. I think she's still in jail. There was a punk song "I Don't Like Mondays," by the Boomtown Rats. An earlier poster crudely alluded to it. When asked why she did it, she said, "I Don't Like Mondays." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Don%27t_Like_Mondays Brenda Ann Spencer. Her next chance at parole is in 2025. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Elementary_School_shooting_(San_Diego)#Brenda_Spencer |
Yet statistically speaking the US is not safer than other countries despite having vastly more guns per capita and the same mental health issues as other countries. So what could it be then? |
Most of the gun nuts are cowards who need something for them to bully others. |
They want to bully and scare others. |
They are doing what they are paid to do, instead of hiding scared like the Texans. |
And what did you say to the fat loser gun owners open carry to scare/bully other people? |
Well, the trend exposed in this DCUM thread certainly is NOT helping matters! I feel like we are headed in the wrong direction in so many, many ways; particularly declining mental health as a result of the lockdown, and especially - the deadly and destructive epidemic of social media addiction. Seriously - teens (especially teen girls) are killing themselves / suffering depression as a direct result of social media. It is toxic. |
