    Group singing is an odd way to deliver an exam.

    The self-indulgence on show there. It's not nice, but - gay or not - you're not part of it. Three weeks ago ISIS blew up 184 Syrians in an afternoon. I don't remember being expected to stand in solidarity with them and the two-hundred injured.

    That's why Owen Jones looked such a twat last night. He was more gutted not to have been in the club when it happened than anything else.

    All my Facebook needed was another excuse for LGBTs to force themselves down my newsfeed. Bastards.

    It's a difficult one.

    On the one hand there must be a part of you that's hoping beyond hope that the shooter(s) won't make it to you before the armed forces get to him/them, but on the other hand you'd obviously know that if they do and you're in a toilet cubicle you're fucked.

    I can't imagine many people would be going out of that room if they hear there is shooting going on outside it.

    Yup. The chances of being killed in a mass shooting are still far less than being killed in your car on the highway. Not that the shootings aren't a problem, but they're no reason to flee the country either. I'd rather leave because of how much I have to drive everywhere.

    @Mert, I think you conflate gun violence with mass shootings. Gun violence is a huge problem in this country, but like you've said it's got to do with a lot more than just the 2nd Amendment (like gang violence, race, housing, the general state of society) and outside of the inner cities it's not a huge problem. These mass shootings are different though, they happen just as much in the suburbs and in affluent places, and they do happen here far more than in Europe. So yes, these shootings are fundamentally a gun problem (as well as a mental health problem); they're not gangs just shooting each other up.

    Probably subconsciously hearing everyone threaten to move to Canada made me want to actually do it. Certainly I admit that the rise of Trump and this presidential election in general has made me more amenable to living in a different country for a few years.

    That girl I work with just found out one of her brother's best friends passed that she hung out with all the time.

    I'm not going to lie this is one of the hardest things I've had to deal with. Like I don't know what I'm supposed to even say. S

    I took her outside and just kinda let her cry into my shoulder for a minute and tried to just tell her to be strong and that it's okay to be upset cause it's all so so so so fucked but we gotta be strong for the people around us and etc.

    She's literally crying talking about she used to see these people all the time and now she'll go out and they just won't be there. that she spent her birthday with these people. people whose names you may not remember but faces you know. just gone.

    and i'm out here trying to say some shit about well we gotta just think about the lives they DID get to lead and how we have to honor them by making sure we stay strong and just being there for our community and standing up in the face of evil.

    that's the 3rd person she'd lost that she knew. i told her honey, it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. but you gotta be strong

    i'm honestly not trying to attention whore i really just don't know who to talk to right now and i don'tk now if i'm doing the right thing but trying to be supportive or if i should just shut up and not take the lead.

    it's going to be such a long week.
    posted this on another forum just thought i'd share.

    i realized that i was literally .4 miles away from this club getting tacos about the time this would've started.

    I didn't hear anything and drove the opposite way home but just very surreal to think about that I might have crossed paths with this person right before he did that, considering my route of travel.

    Shit is crazy right now.

    Apparently the shooter had previously visited the club often. Definite repression case.

    Top comment on the thread about his gayness on Reddit:

    "Apparently he also claimed allegiance/membership to Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS... despite all three organizations being enemies of each other."



    Edit:

    "How's this: Aspiring member of Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, the NYPD, and the LGBTQ community."

    17 deaths a year due to mass shootings. There is more of an epidemic of people dying from fall off their beds, than from mass shootings.

    *links to /r/The_Donald*

    lol

    Christ it's even better than I thought. Here's the original source website.





    It's like when Harold used to link to that weirdo neo-nazi site as a source.

    edit: Lol people in that thread are claiming that there was multiple shooters and it was an army of muslims that did it and the media are covering it up to help muslims take over the world. These people are absolutely mental mert. Genuinely mentally deranged. Surely you have to see this? You're not so dumb.

    Oh god, he's just been lifting arguments from that sub for the last however long hasn't he?

    What with his "I literally just made that up" edit the other day, he's not even hiding the fact that everything he posts is just copied from something he's read.

    As long as you realise that your stance on guns means there will always be deaths from mass shootings.

    I found the sub like 2 days ago after the Orlando shootings got it a lot of press. I never go on reddit normally to the extent that I'm unaware that linking to that website is somehow not legitimate.

    Average based off of Mother Jones spreadsheet of the last 35 years I linked to on the last page which records all "mass shootings" as defined by the FBI (over 4 murders).
