Active Shooter in Philadelphia

How old are you? Have a look at historical crime for late 70’s through early 90’s - America was a dangerous fcking place. My dad worked in NYC in the 70’s and 80’s and people were getting shanked, shot, mugged, raped, and shoved onto the tracks at a crazy frequency. When his train would go through the Bronx mofo’s were on the project rooftops randomly firing rifles at the train. Or how South Florida, LA, NYC, Chicago, Philly,and many cities were like them were war zones. Big reason the suburbs became popular. Different kind of crimes now and they are all tragic but overall crime is way down. you’ve got to have some perspective on history.
In the meantime let’s re-open all those mental institutions we closed in the 70’s!! Start with Williams Bryce attendees

Explain this idea of, “. If drugs were legalized, police could stop patrolling neighborhoods by 50 percent and we would have a whole lot less shootings.” Surely you don’t want cops to stop patrolling neighborhoods. They have stopped in the south side of Chicago and this is a major reason shootings have increased. The police has basically withdrawn from certain neighborhoods in Chicago. And how does less patrolling mean less shootings?
Have you ever figured out the correlation between the cities with the most crime and murders and their political views? The facts are damning when they’re pretty much all liberal...
What’s the main political view of most of the major mass shooters in the last 5 years?
As someone who lived/lives in inner-city Philadelphia.. It's not politics.. Until the culture and mindset of the hood change, nothing else will.. I'm young, black and live in the hood.. I lost my first friend to gun violence at 11, he was 12... it's not gonna change
Wait...we have someone who doesn’t make 6 figures, but rather is poor and lives in the hood, on TI?!
It's always a loner who never gets laid.
We need to enact some kind of red flag pus*sy patrol law where people can report these types of loners, and the government can send in a girl to sleep with the guy. Then he won't shoot people, because pus*sy.

so... where you getting your news? APnews and NPR here. Tell me its not twitter.
I don't know about the last 5 years. Here is every mass shooting suspect in 2019 though. Hard to determine the exact mix of political affiliation, but I'm going to speculate that it's not a heavy lean to the right.
If you ever want to go down a rabbit hole of potential mass shooters, check out the reddit "incels" page. Your law may fix some of them before it's too late.
I'm just going to point out that your graphic here seems to carry a troubling narrative. Can you clarify why you shared it? Are you supportive of the claim of the text that "0 were white".? Also it appears to allude that the issue is only in major cities with urban population. Do you think you might be conflating mass ('err as the astute researcher states: Mas. lol) shooting with gang and drug war shootings? Thats pretty dumb.I don't know about the last 5 years.

I'm not endorsing any narrative. This just happened to pop up when I googled 2019 mass shooting suspects. A mass shooting is a mass shooting whether or not it is drug related, gang related, hate related, mental illness related, etc. We should be concerned about them all.
I agree & willing to bet his guns were purchased via loop holes & or illegally from street sales! We can go in any city in the US & purchase illegal weapons quicker than alcohol, any city!
Btw, this is NOT a case of where he shouldn’t have passed background checks. Looking at his record, prosecutors dropped like literally everything he’s been charged with. This stems from drug related incidents to attempted murder. If the shitty prosecutors did their job, the laws on the books would’ve worked.
In addition, this guy was a democrat for those wondering...

If you legalize drugs they don't have to make arrests for people who violate the sale of drugs. That's half the reason police make arrests.
So, let me get this straight. You think Dems or people brainwashed into Dem thinking are intentionally choosing certain weapons and intentionally targeting right wing gathering places to sow discord about the 2nd Amendment?
But we're the ones brainwashed? Give me a fvcking break, man.
It's you and people like the people open carrying in a fvcking Walmart to "test their 2nd Amendment rights" who are escalating the issue. Mass shooters are just generally disturbed people who have easy access to ridiculously deadly firepower and little regard for human life. Some of that last sentence can get fixed, but it's a long slow process.
But you keep on seeing that liberal boogeyman around every corner, I'm sure you'll get 'em one day. Keep your eyes peeled and your hands on the trigger.

Yep I’m all for legalizing all drugs. That problem will just sort itself out. Just like alcohol, you wouldn’t be able to be high in public.
Oh and background checks need to be stricter for firearms.
Hmm so we are conflating school shootings with gang warfare? How does that help us discuss this issue? Seems like an argument for rounding up all the guns
Then why have any laws at all? Stupid reasoning. The problem with our country is we have way too many guns. Look at other civilized countries. They don't have these problems like we do. There are several things we could do to make positive changes and save lives because doing nothing hasn't worked at all. The NRA owns most Republicans and crooked politicians like Mitch McConnell won't do a damn thing as long as it effects his money. It's all about the money and the power in the US.
That goes for 90% of most gun violence. Until we teach "men" how to be fathers, it's pretty tough to break the chain.
LOL having the police decide who can and can’t own a gun would never ever work IMO.
Your post brought back memories. I didn't live nor work in NYC, but I'm old enough to remember how rough that city was...until Rudy Guliani became mayor. His policing policies changed NYC drastically; for the good, and he was called a racist every day by the NYT. Bloomburg kept it going but now de Blasio is debate-ably an anti-cop mayor. You see the total disrespect and disregard for the cops in NYC; with all the water throwing, food throwing, etc. The NYPD, on the whole, hates de Blasio.
This is not a mass shooting event, just a drug bust gone bad. The whole thread misses the obvious question. Why is this convicted felon with multple gun-related offenses on the street? He could be an argument for the second amendment as this is an example showing that committed criminals will get their guns regardless of any law or gun control measure.
Have you ever looked at how little money the NRA actually doles out to politicians as opposed to how much Planned Parenthood doles out to politicians? You might be surprised. One of the two entities has received Fed Taxpayer Funds over the years and the other has not.
I agree that money/POWER/greed has consumed DC for close to a century, at least. That's exactly why I am a Trump supporter!
On a per capita basis, there were more mass shooting events. Per FBI, gun violence generally has been on a fairly steady decline since 1974 on a per capita basis- not necessarily total numbers as the US population has surged. Surprisingly, mass shooting events have generallly declined on a per capita basis with a few spike years here and there.
Mostly, it is media coverage and social media and 24 news cable coverage with all the news outlets and internet and all that being different that in prior history. Earlier in history, many violent events did not get much national coverage. The use of semiautomatic weapons has certainly made for a few really crazy tragic mass tragedies.
The gun issue is certainly a problem but more it gets sensationalized and over-covered relative to other issues. For instance - why does no one want to talk about drunk driving regulations? On average 30 people a day in the US die from drunk driving accidents. It's the biggest issue we have right now and no one wants to talk about it because everyone enjoys partaking and it doesn't generate the clicks for the media sites. IMO a bar serving someone 6 or 8 drinks and watching them walk out the door with their keys in hand is far more dangerous than selling someone a gun without a background check.
