    They mentioned that it's believed 3 are dead in that live stream I posted. That's also where I heard that 10 had been shot, but who knows at this stage

    A Black guy, Alton Sterling, was shot the other week by police in Baton Rouge.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Such a waste of life. America is getting worse, printing currency like crazy to reinflate popped bubbles, elite controlled media focusing on black deaths to divide the nation even though more white people are killed by cops and attention moved away from the real crooks like Goldman Sachs JP Morgan the Rothschild Rockerfella families while the American middle class are stripped of their wealth.

    A gun man kills armed police men in two seperate incidents. Proof as ever that guns don't prevent gun deaths. Less guns prevents gun deaths.

    You could almost become anesthetised to all these killings given how common they are becoming. And that is a sad thing.

    No surprise if BLM are happy to included marchers chanting "What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now!"



    Talk about counter productive, if there's one guaranteed outcome from displays like this it's edgy cops more likely to shoot first and ask questions later. In other words, more dead black people.

    From cnn
    Kip Holden, the mayor-president of East Baton Rouge Parish, said authorities were still trying to get a handle on the situation, but added, "The count is three officers dead possibly."
    The victims may include police officers and sheriff's deputies.
    "There is still an active scene. They are investigating," he said. "Right now we are trying to get our arms around everything."
    The shooter is believed to be down as well, Holden said.
    "Everything is moving fast and I have not been able to verify everything," he said.

    Black Lives Matter & the liberal SJW sympathisers are clearly responsible for this. Donald J. Trump will cruise into the White House if this sort of thing starts happening more often.

    BLM are just the mob Trump needs to stand a chance.

    If he does win, I'm sure they will be thanked in his inauguration speech.

    I know it sounds insane, but TRUMP might be just what they need.. then after he's finished someone can come in and run the place properly.. Trump might be the RESET button they require as a society.

    While there is a huge amount of gun crime in the US, really, proportionally it's not as bad as people make out. The problem is you've an ever so slightly higher proportion of nutjobs, heavily armed an a population over 2/3rds the size of Europe and a very, very active media.

    Because criminals breaking the law by murdering, will now stop because they're breaking another one :rolleyes:

    Why do people insist this? Why do they fight tooth and nail against gun rights then top it off with 'less people will die'.

    First off, let's just put gun violence into perspective.
    In 2014, Eleven Thousand were killed by guns.
    In a country of 320 million, and with more guns than people.

    It's not that much tbh.
    Let's look at other causes of death that year:

    Heart disease killed 611 thousand. #BanHighCapacityHeartAttacks :rolleyes:
    Cancer killed 584 thousand. #BanAssaultTumors...
    Chronic lower respiratory diseases killed 150 thousand.
    Accidents killed 130 thousand.
    Stroke killed 128 thousand.
    Alzheimer's disease killed 84 thousand.
    Diabetes killed 75 thousand.
    Influenza and Pneumonia killed 57 thousand.
    Kidney diseases killed 47 thousand.
    Suicides topped 41 thousand.
    Road fatalities were 36 thousand.

    Gun deaths account for **** all in comparison but ooooooooh BOY are they a handy scapegoat/political points scoring platform...

    Remove guns from law abiding people in that mad house across the water, and I absolutely guarantee gun deaths will go up...
    Mass shootings are but a drop in the ocean of general gun death causes.

    Now if it were down to me, I'd make bullets reeeeealy bloody expensive. Like five hundred dollars each. That way you really really need a good excuse to empty a magazine..

    Lastly, things are happening lately that prove a weapon is anything but important or necessary to kill many. Something I've always believed too, tbh.
