Washington Mall Shooting

http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/24/us/washington-mall-shooting/index.html

Five dead, four women, 1 man, inside a Macy's last night. Apparently, the shooter's still at large. I hope they get him quick. That's the scary thing about mass shootings, when the shooter's still out there. :(

Some people aren't mentally fit to own a gun. Not sure how to keep the guns away from them.

The new reality I guess. Islamic extremist, white nationalist, mentally insane, bored... Does it really matter? This is what we put up with now and I partially blame media sensationalism for it. Too many guns and not enough sanity.

I was in the Cascade Mall the day before this happened. I was actually going to go to that mall the day of the shooting, but decided to get my stuff done on thursday. Lots of choppers and sirens popping off last night.

@hillelslovak: "I was actually going to go to that mall the day of the shooting, "

That close? Any chance you were going to stop in the Macy's?

@playmynutz:"Some people aren't mentally fit to own a gun"

Stop using mentally. They know what they were doing?

In America you have the same right to own a gun that you have to breathe air. Some Americans are crazy unhinged psychopath murderers waiting to happen. They will be armed when the time comes for them to snap. I think law abiding citizens should have the right to bare arms for a few different reasons. I wonder if we could somehow come up with a system where proven responsible people of a certain IQ could own guns but crazy or incredibly stupid people would have difficulty getting a hold of them. Any ideas out there? I have no clue.

not at the macys, but creepy nonetheless.

Yeah the media will probably promote the hell out of this since it fits with their "young white male" narrative

if Trump is going to win, it is because of shit like this.

Please please please please please don't give in to fear, people, when it comes time to vote. Vote with your head, not your heart. Remember, Skittles are awesome, not poisonous.

Glad you are safe anyways. Crazy how close you could have been. Makes a person think. Shit can go down absolutely anywhere.

America needs more guns to prevent these shootings from happening somehow.

It seems way too easy for people like this to get guns over there. Pretty scary that he's still at large as well. Hopefully they'll catch him soon.

Where are the mythical good guys with guns?

Not looking for makeup.

Hope they find him soon.

Have you even been to a Macy's? It's a department store for men and women.

@PSP107: This dude should go straight to prison and not to some mental institute but mass shooters are not right in the head at all.

Yes. Usually the men's section is a separate floor or a separate department all by itself.

You were saying?

Japan Knife Attacks

Yeah that Japanese knife attack problem is way worse than America's gun violence. Thank god i don't live there.

The interesting part is he worked at the facility supposedly helping the mentally ill. And who are the psychopaths?

The issue is stupid people in general i say. The average iq in the world is like 100. Even people with high iqs who think they are educated can be wrong too. I still say most people are utter psychos in some fashion and really don't get it. So I insulted 6 billion peopel and all of you. What are you going to do shoot me?

@playmynutz: "This dude should go straight to prison and not to some mental institute but mass shooters are not right in the head at all."

Yea I never understood the mental issue defense.

Yet you keep forgetting that Japan's population is small and shrinking.

I don't remember forgetting that.

@joebones5000: Yeah I was thinking how the hell is that small. Japan is among the top ten most populated countries.

@PSP107: It's despicable when people hide behind "I have mental issues" and not take responsibility for their actions.

Japan is one of the most populated countries in the world, and homicide rates are done by calculating the amount of victims of homicide per 100,000 people. So the size of the country is mostly irrelevant.

Japan has a population of 127.3 million yet in 2011 it had only 395 murders.

LOL try hard!

Guy was Turkish, but I doubt this is some terrorist attack, I think he was just a loser who couldn't get women, decided to go shoot women, shot at women at a makeup counter at Macy's. I mean I can't rule out terrorism, it just doesn't seem like it to me.

The cop who arrested him said he was not even responsive, like a zombie. Did not try to resist or anything.

Yeah, I think he was just having a bad life and snapped.

They can lead to diabetes if you allow too many of them inside of you. They can become contaminated/poisoned without proper regulations and government oversight.

Wanting a more secure country is not living in fear. It's recognizing a threat and moving to mitigate it at the soonest possible time.
