Re: The American disease

What’s really baffling is that they seem to be just accepting this as the price of “freedom”. They are a strange, very foreign people.

Re: The American disease

They seem to be so deeply conditioned in their psyche that guns are a important part of the price of freedom.

Sadly it won't change not in a thousand years as there are plenty of things that are good about America but that is not one of them.

As opposed to the huge number of gang related killings?

Quote:

The scope of the dispute became clear at a bond hearing for Johnson on Wednesday when Houston police Detective Adam Bock disclosed more than 50 deaths since 2011.

That's just a dispute between 2 gangs out of 300, in one city(ie Houston), in one state(ie Texas).

Quote:

In Texas, an El Paso-based gang has spread across the U.S., and has also sent some members to Mexico for training with the Zetas. They became a transnational gang due to the drug trafficking industry.
...
In those days the bloodshed in Juarez was so great that a day without a murder was front-page news. At trial, one Barrio Azteca member testified to killing 100 people a month.

Re: The American disease

After seeing the post from nomadking, I conclude there is no difference between the USA and the Middle East as far as relentless and stupid murder goes

although the USA have a greater density of Macdonalds outlets

Re: The American disease

These "mass shootings" make the headlines, whilst hundreds die every week due to guns in the USA. And many are gang-related.

Wilson said Crusius was bullied relentlessly by peers who targeted how he spoke and the fact that his clothes look

'Every time I looked up in class it was someone new speaking negatively to the kid, 'Patrick that is dumb, stupid,'' Wilson said.

And think of the 10s of thousands that don’t feel the need to massacre others...

There’s no justification for what he did.

Police say they have a 21-year-old man in custody in connection with the shooting, and they believe he is the author of a racist, anti-Hispanic document laying out his motivations for the shooting.

Hopefully the little scumbag gets bullied relentlessly for the rest of his life in prison.

I prefer my version where at 21 he has a good 50 years or more of hell every single day.
