Is it a good thing that ~15 years from now, all this work will be automated, thus decreasing the on site human worker and lowering the probability of a workplace shooting?
It's a morbid and sad thing to say, but I wonder when someone from TMB will be directly impacted by a mass shooting.
But then those people will just shoot up other populated places because they lost their job to a robot.
I think one of the not so regular CU posters was a Columbine student. Possibly. I've smoked alot of pots
I know it's somewhat irrational, but I often worry about my kids' or wife's school being shot up. I srs doubt I'm the only one
I was in a club a couple years ago and started thinking that it was a prime target for a shooting. Totally normal.
I went to a comedy show last weekend. First public event like that I've been to in over a year. Part of it was probably general anxiety from being in a public space again but one of my thoughts as I drove to the place was "What if someone tries to shoot this place up?" I immediately told myself that's irrational and not something I should worry about but realistically it's a thing that we kinda have to at least consider these days.
Not really the same thing but two streets over from my house someone was arrested for murdering a girl about 30 minutes away. Cops were literally arresting him when my family and I were walking around the neighborhood. We saw cop cars and went down the street out of curiosity. Didn’t know it at the time but found about a week later that’s what happened. Just an overall really weird feeling that someone I probably came in contact with did something like that.
I lived within minutes of the FSU Library Shooting and worked minutes from the Tallahassee Yoga Studio shooting. also while in high school a girl broke up with a guy. that guy went home and put a shotgun in his mouth
for what it's worth I've been telling all the local politicians to go fuck themselves in response to their trash ass tweets about this. That oughta do it.
I work about a mile away from where the Chabad synagogue shooting took place. Not that I was "directly impacted" but it feels really shitty to have something like that happen in a place you spend a lot of time in.
A fire alarm started going off while I was in a Dick’s Sporting Goods a couple weeks ago, and active shooter crossed my mind.
Already happened. One of the Alabama posters was present during the shooting there a few years ago. EDIT: Looks like it was bama1
I'm in a lot of different school buildings on a weekly basis and have wondered if I will ever be at one when some shit happens
I grew up with someone murdered by a cop in South Bend and a cousin murdered by a security guard in Texas.
I lived in Blacksburg during 4/16. I remember driving to work that day (post-grad) and right around the same time Cho was between his first attack at West AJ and the second at Norris I was headed in. The post office where he mailed his manifesto is on Main St and I have every belief I probably drove by his physical self while he was doing that as the timeline matches up so fucking close. I remember how quiet Main St was that morning, it was eerie as fuck for no reason. I also knew the RA he shot in West AJ. 14 years today, man.
can someone explain “black pill” to me? I looked it up and it seems like an alt-right incel thing. Has that changed? I’ve seen others here mention it and it seems like the last thing we’d want to be associated with. TIA
this why I am asking. I looked it up and it seems like it has something to do with incels coming to a realization that no matter what they do they won’t get laid. I’ve seen it used on here and was wondering if the meaning has evolved. Obviously I’m not attempting to imply anyone here is an incel or alt-right.
Having a black pill around gun control makes complete sense. No matter who people elect these people don't give a fuck about stopping mass shootings.
I wouldn't take it too Literally because as Lyrtch has pointed out in the past. If you really were blackpilled there's no way in hell you'd be posting about it.
like I said I didn’t know what it was a reference to so I looked it up don’t mean to imply anyone posting here is that
The reporting on this currently is lacking in detail. He apparently had some mental issues, but was he functional enough to buy a gun or not? If he wasn’t then there are questions about who sold it to him and why. If he was compis mentis, then it goes to the deeper question about gun control which will never be resolved because of our 2nd Amendment. BS either way
I know shooting anyone in such a way is absolutely evil and cowardly, but people in their 60s/70s? Teens?
don't try to make sense of a senseless act like spree shooting. people become targets, all of equal value to a shooter.
