Gonna explain or just toss out insults?
What then is the purpose of this thread? Simply to mourn, send thoughts and pray? It was one thong when this thread was posted in the direct aftermath of the murders that day.
For those of us that care about the investigation and any possible information they have found out about this guy. Plus to hear about any further information about victims. I have family there and they were incredibly affected by this shooting.
Not looking to politicize. Looking to come up with solution already. Looking to save lives. Looking to preserve rights of gun ownership. But the right to the latter can not and should not fully supersede the former.
Appreciate the response.
Outside of the fact that you're more likely to be murdered in over a dozen other urban areas, you have a fantastic point here
Outside of the fact that Chicago's gun ban was ruled unconstitutional, it no longer does gun registries and Illinois issues conceal carry licenses you've got a great point
Not a gun control discussion, that's for sure. It's to discuss this specific event I'm pretty sure. The investigation, etc...
Uhh, somewhere else, sure. It's definitely a valid discussion and I favor some gun control, but this thread, to me anyway, is stand alone specific to this event. Not real interested in discussing how to avoid it in the future in this thread.
I'm sure you can discuss on the politicial board. If you do it here, it will turn into the same banter back and forth from the usual suspects that will devolve into name calling and many pages. If i want to read that, I can go to the other board, which I won't. The political board was the greatest thing ever to happen to the FFA. Let's make it work.
Some people say "well, of course we know nothing ... they're still investigating and keeping it close to the vest".
Not seeing much sarcasm there. Maybe some exaggeration / hyperbole about the numbers, but when right leaning guy takes a shot at Chicago about gun control it comes off as typical Trump like rhetoric from the uninformed.
Right after Boston I remember all kind of news outlets combing over web can footage looking for anyone with a back pack. Speculation was rampant hours after the bombing.
what's there to know? dude was ####### crazy. probably acted alone. people are trying to rationalize an insane action. that's not really possible, but people do it to make themselves feel better.
and isn't it better this way?
There's a lot of things to know... If he acted alone and gave a motive, why hasn't the investigation made that statement yet? If it was that "simple," what other things would they need to be investigating that is causing them to not release this information?
what is the general public going to get out of knowing any of this information? is Gene at the Citgo going to make a citizens arrest of someone tied to the supposed plot?
it's an act of insanity, the motive is irrelevant. would you sleep better if you knew it was because, as someone mentioned before, jodie foster spurned his love? what if he hated country music? make ya feel better? eta: they have announced, that as far as they know, he acted alone.
Yeah, but I don't mean that info -- I mean what was learned after Tsarnaev as captured, and how quickly that info went public.
Not really. Crazy how I simply asked why it's taken so long for a final report to come out and suddenly I'm one of those "conspiracy" guys.
I agree, shocked at how little info is getting out. This guy was in Vegas from what at least the 25th on and with cameras everywhere no footage? Your questions are justified for sure.
If there was something unique, would it be worth releasing video to help a copy cat carry out another mass shooting?
I think knowledge about any mass shooting informs future security efforts at public events. Crazies can't be 100% stopped, but they can be 95% mitigated against -- and it's probably possible to chip away at that remaining 5%. Knowledge helps. Just because the past can't be changed ... that doesn't mean knowledge about such events should be treated as irrelevant and not worth pursuing.didn't change anything about what happened
