Here we go again. "Mass" shooting at a Madden tournament in Jacksonville Fla.

No numbers are being confirmed. "Possibly" 11 shot, multiple fatalities. NOTHING IS CONFIRMED

I’ve been saying all along - video games cause mass shootings.

Great news for the NRA - America's Terrorist Organization.

thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers for those that sacrificed their lives so we can enjoy the freedom of gun ownership. Praise be unto god.

Thoughts and prayers

I'm surprised any of these people left their bedrooms long enough to enter a competition.

Yeah, surprised those nerds were able to get out of the lockers they got shoved into. Fucking weirdos.

This was not the argument I expected in this thread, but it's the one we deserve.

Attitudes and the like as Kingston showed in this very thread can lead to disenfranchised youth, etc etc... leading to mental health issues leading to violent acts. People need to check themselves and deserve to be called out for it.

Actually the video games they play are more apt to cause the conditions you describe. Not my "attitude", dummy. Video games.lead to shorter attention span, social isolation, lack of people skills in a real environment, etc. But cast blame to whatever gets you to your safe place, lol.

Florida is a state where its relatively easy to get guns. Once the guns are off the seller's shelvesand into the hands of purchasers you can only hope they will take care of them so they don't get stolen, used by unauthorized family members or sold to people who couldn't buy a gun legally.

Been a number of shootings from this episode, the Martin shooting, Pulse nightclub and the high school shooting this spring and the common denominator is they all occured in Florida where obtaining guns has a low bar.

Yup.

Thoughts and prayers. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Too bad a good guy with a gun wasn’t there to stop the shooter.

Congratulations, you’ve found the most American possible response. Enjoy your beer.

What reality do you speak of? That some fucker couldn't take losing at something?

What? No. I speak of how we would all rather pretend that none of this is happening on a constant basis and just enjoy our beer. We used to care when this stuff happened, but we don’t anymore.

I saw Joe Theisman get kicked out of the Hooters at Jacksonville Landing New Year's Eve 1988.

Oh thoughts and prayers too

Yeah, it's a tough one for sure. To really give a shit would be like Bruce Almighty. Do I care about this murder, or the homeless, or the drug towns in Mexico, or the latest natural disaster victims.

I think it might be dishonest to say the senses haven't been deadened a bit. I feel bad about it, and at the same time wonder if I'm not paying more than lip service.

In reality, that pretty much covers it.

Probably some disconnect with reality, accountability, and consequences well.

Or just a massive cultural problem that we can write off and say I’ll have a beer instead of thinking about it but hey it’s fine

Possible. Or some dude with a really bad temper who couldn't take losing, always was told he's the best, has over 3 million kills on Grand theft auto, etc. I've reached the point where I'm almost done making or looking for excuses for these dip wads anymore. You shoot up a place with a bunch of unarmed people your just a straight up piece of shit. Don't give a crap is Mommy or daddy didn't love you. It's not an excuse to murder people.

Except it happens kinda way too frequently to write it off like you seem so eager to do. From all walks of life really, not just targeting it to one group (other than white men) like again, you seem so eager to do.

Would you like to pass a law telling parents to love their kids more? Pay attention to them more? Limit time online?

No. See, that’s where I’m telling you that you’re focusing on the one thing. Which is weird. There are plenty of shooters that have come from your group, the aging white guy group, the Vegas shooter most notably. I have a feeling you two (and 10 other people here) would be indistinguishable if we only look at generalities, like you’re again so eager to do.

You just like to say there's too many shootings and it's part of a bigger problem.......

Without identifying the problem or give any solutions. That's what's a big problem. People who like the sound of their own voices while atop their soap boxes.

I want to talk more about how gamers are sexless dorks.



Oh yeah. T&Ps

Old news Bob, old news. It's kinda sad. They other day I was like, it's been awhile since we had a mass shooting. It's like you expect it now....
