    Its San Bernardino's turn today. Reports of between one and three shooters. Its at the stage now that I don't think gun controls will be of any use in the US.

    Good thing the militia is well regulated. I can only imagine the amount of deaths there'd be if they just didn't regulate the militia at all. They'd end up killing each other rather than securing the free state.

    If they armed everyone and trained them to use the guns, this won't ever happen again.

    I glanced at Reddit and reports are confused but generally include 3 shooters with rifles, wearing vests. Seems to be at a facility for people with learning disabilities but people are also suggesting it is close to a Planned Parenthood. The bomb squad is there attending to a device. The police on the scanner seem to be discussing hostages or people who are otherwise trapped in a building. Pretty desperate situation.

    Because 'Murica, and to think Trump is looking like a serious contender over there...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭Whosthis


    ABC news just said 12 dead, 3 confirmed shooters, multiple hostages. http://abc7.com/live/

    Could be christian terrorists again. Didn't they shoot up an abortion clinic a few days back?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭Lights On


    The most shocking thing to me is how numb I am to the whole thing. If this happened anywhere else in the world it would be a 'holy sh*t' moment. But because it's America and has become so regular over there it's just another one on the list.

    Sad but true unfortunately, this seems to be a regular occurrence in the US.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Sounds like a terrorist effort if there's three of them.

    It has nothing to do with planned parenthood, there just happens to be one nearby.

    3 shooters and possible explosive devices sounds a bit more organized than the usual 'lone wolf' scenario seen in the US

    true, lone wolf is much more typical.

    Three shooters confirmed by the authorities. Seemingly it's a centre that deals with people of development disabilities that is being attacked.

    Reddit Live Thread here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,465 ✭✭✭✭darkpagandeath


    But if everyone was Armed this would never have happened. More guns solves gun Crime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    More guns prevents gun violence, gotta love America and their logic regarding guns.. Something really needs to change or this will go on and on and on.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Cops have mentioned that one of the suspects was run through PD (Police Department?) system last week. What I find crazy is that this keeps happening; it was the same in France, where one of the terrorists was known already to the authorities.

    Reports of "man down".

    Code 4 (No further assistance needed) on detained person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,453 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    Apparently some police units are having trouble getting to the scene because of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Put on the news a few minutes ago and the overhead shot was showing a road totally blocked with seemingly abandoned cars. What is wrong with people?!

    Suspects described as middle eastern or Hispanic males.

    What do you really expect people to do when they are in the area with three people shooting at random people? I mean, if it were me, I'd get out of my car and run the hell away.

    Ah Christian terrorists on the rampage. The only type the USA has. Lucky them eh?

    There have been 350+ mass shooting in the US so far this year. I got this crazy feeling that these mass shootings would stop if we took away everyone's guns, maybe that's just me though.

    This is unpossible. California already has some of the most restrictive gun laws, and only tightened them even more a couple of weeks ago.

    Let's wait and see what's going on, shall we? If it's an organised group of multiple people, it's not as if the French gun laws helped much, is it? My totally uneducated guess, though, is it's initial information error, and it's just one bloke.

    Police more or less confirmed that there are 3 shooters. Nothing since then. One person has been detained.

    Two people have been seen removing black clothing nearby.

    Restricting guns won't stop terrorists. How about we wait until the full facts before getting on the anti gun soap box

    I doubt they'd stop overnight....as they seem to be ingrained abit in America culture now and the shooters for a fair bit go down as infamous and remembered in their localities

    And the attacking with the pro-gun soap box and it just becoming yet another conversation about this and nothing else.

    Edit:

    Shots reported at another hospital. Bullets heard in the background of 911 call. Cops there now saying they are code 4 (no further assistance required) at this other hospital, but are double checking.

    People were shot, with guns, what other facts do you want?

    I'm sure in America it's just as easy to get hold of power tools poison and Knives. Yet it only seems to be mass shootings and none of the other. The argument for guns saying criminals will have them. Guess what they may have one because the home owner has has one there in lies the problem.

    I don't remember the thread about the Paris attacks turning into a debate about gun control. People have been murdered yet posters immediately jump in with comments to voice their pro/anti gun agenda just because it happened in America.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    The gun control sh1tehawking only happens when shootings take place in America.

    Anyway.

    Black SUV possibly belonging to the shooters are being tracked down by police. Multiple reports coming in via 911.

    Oh I dunno maybe France has a little less problem with mass shootings then the USA.... Just maybe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,761 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Three shooters in military style clothing.

    There were ISIS terrorists arrested in central America a couple of weeks back, trying to make their way to the US. One can only speculate at this stage.

    Once again, Reddit Live thread for anyone interested. That and the police scanner are where I'm getting my information.

    You are correct. CA has very restrictive gun laws compared to other US states.

    But, they aren't all that restrictive to be honest.

    Shooting being reported at Target shopping centre.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,972 ✭✭✭captbarnacles


    Media really struggling for something to say now they (rightly) aren't allowed broadcast police movements or get close to the scene.

    Imagine if one of these shootings was carried out by muslims. The whole country would sh1t itself.

    With any luck this is just an honest, decent white christian, mass shooting. Completely different to a terrorist attack.

    Thinking about the poor divils who died. I fear nothing will be learned from their deaths.

    Not to my knowledge, I believe all private sales have to go via a firearms dealer.

    So technically I can sell you a gun but a dealer has to do the paperwork.
