    This chant or did I miss something? In the article the organisers of the March disown any encouragement of violence.

    You're posting an opinion piece from MSNBC of all places.

    Sorry do not like the facts .

    The shooter wasn't a sniper he carried out a mass shooting minus any specialist sniper rifle he didn't need a heavy calibre rifle to do what he did

    Sorry but "sniper" is not a gun. A sniper is a person. A sniper rifle is any gun used by a sniper. I know you've played a lot of video games but you're out of your depth

    Is the quote disowning any violent chants wrong?

    Was it chanted at another march?

    I haven't heard about this chant and this was the first link I found. Do you have a better one? It is easily the most reliable of the links that came up on an admittedly quick Google search.

    And about the fatherless comment?

    I heard the chant on video myself when it happened. Even from footage today after the attacks people were shouting threats at the police, including triumphalist remarks about them deserving to be shot, this was as the sniper was still active. The movement is not defined by one person it's defined by the type of people in it. I don't care if they disavow it, they could be lying. Actions speak louder than words.

    A sniper is a highly trained and qualified soldier .

    This was a mass shooting carried our by a disalusional man with a 70 year old $200 -$300 gun .

    Not a sniper by any stretch ..

    Do you know him?

    You know he was a veteran, right? You know they found a cache of homemade explosives and a journal of combat tactics in his house, right? You do have some penchant for talking pure s*** don't you.

    Some people who kill people are actually not nutters, you know that., right? Or are you firmly in fantasy movie land.

    Apparently there were at least 20 "civilians" wandering around Dallas with rifles and body armour so the police had difficulty singling out the shooter.
    I sh1t thee not.

    Any how this thing where you claimed to have heard chanting at this rally and during the shooting can you link to the sources you heard zero mention any where in the media or elsewhere

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT8ZUOmne9I This one is fairly incomprehensible but I hear the same man shout "that's why y'all get (incomprehensible)" twice after around 40 seconds in.

    I'm sure you did. You've been getting things wrong all night, talking about subjects about which you know very little, Googling frantically as you go to cover over your mistakes with side facts. Better give it a rest.

    Actually at exactly 46 seconds in a different man says quite clearly "that's why y'all get shot". I can't hear exactly what the others are saying but it doesn't sound very nice, does it?

    You haven't made a point in quite some time that wasn't trying to cover over your ignorance of the facts which I pointed out with more related facts you Googled post hoc to make it appear as though you were right all along.

    Him being in the reserve meaning he could still be incompetent with firearms meaning you were right all along. :rolleyes:

    Him not being a "sniper" because he didn't use a "sniper rifle" :rolleyes:

    Then him not being a "sniper" because he's not a "highly trained and qualified soldier" :rolleyes:


    You're continually moving the goalposts to save face. Then the classic resort to accusations of trolling.

    Reminds me of a line in a tupac song, "Just think, if N****z decides to retaliate"

    My heart goes out to the world lately, such troubling times for the human race as a whole, seems to be more division rather then unity spreading.

    "People say ‘go with the flow’ but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish."

    I'm sorry but your saying the IRA never had snipers, because thats actually what your saying? I am guessing the IRA the UK government and all the media I have seen are wrong then, I know nothing really much about firearms but sniping is a role not a weapon or a training (the name is from hunters who were snipe shooters)
    It's a fairly gloomy situation. The police will understandably be very jumpy so risk shooting more people. The cops shooting people could elicit further reprisals which will make the cops even more nervous... and so on, and so on.

    I hope to goodness it all calms down and nobody else gets hurt.

    This, it sort of reminds me of eric cartman bouncing around saying "race war" "race war"

    I didn't fill anything in. You can clearly hear "that's why y'all get shot". The rest is up to you to comprehend if you wish.

    No, you're not being trolled you're just losing the argument. He was a sniper as I have aptly demonstrated.

    Anyway back to the facts as they came in

    Protest takes place no issues suddenly we have gun fire .
    Apparently from several elevated positions involving multiple shooters with AR15s and Sniper rifles .
    Video then appears showing a cop getting shot at ground level who appeared to moving in a totally different direction ..
    Shooter then flees to a car park and later gets blown up by police .not before stating he worked alone and had no criminal history or affiations

    seems to be a lot of misinformation floating around about what and how it actually happened .
    200+ cops on duty at the actual protest 12 of which discharged their weapons during the situation

    seems to work, may be far far from the latest, won't improve your day getting hit by a bullet from it though


    ( remember now : real life = no respawns )

    The reason they suspected multiple shooters is because he used the shoot and move tactics he wrote about in his journal. He kept moving to different levels. The AR15 is a particular style of rifle, how anyone would glean that information before the shooter had been apprehended is beyond me, but it is typical of the media to insert their little buzzword to try and tie events into their narrative.

    Totally agree I said it was an unusual choice for a mass shooting ,
    At least expected something a little more modern with the capability to use high capacity mags at least and easy to meneuver.
    Not a antique.

    But as repeatedly shown through the years one disalusional person with a gun can wreak havoc

    How do you know he's delusional? Have you met him?

    There was an eyewitness who saw the pillar shooting at street level. They were looping him every 30 minutes on news channels. He identified the weapon as an AR15. It is a widely held and recognised weapon in the US. That's how it got widely disseminated.

    No talent required to know shoot and scoot tactics. Anyone who ever read tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Andy mcnabb or any war history books would be able to use it, pretty basic stuff, don't stand where they are shooting. Move.

    I didn't say it required talent, but I happen to think it probably does require some amount of skill to do what he did. Given the level of planning required I think attempts to dismiss him as a lunatic are fairly transparent.
