    What would Beyoncé say? Will Colin Kaepernick refuse to stand for the American anthem after this crime? :rolleyes: Black lives matter.

    Bang bang land, what do you expect, 'only guns can stop guns' is now in charge, so these sprees can only get more common.

    Not his biggest fan but bit of a stretch pinning this one on Donald.

    Not pinning it on him and it'll probably be an avid supporter of the big D that will clear up this mess, but given his attitude throwing more guns at this situation wont fix it.

    Just watched the video of him shooting that elderly bloke. Didn't really think twice about it for some reason, just clicked.

    The former guitarist for Billy Idol was Steve Stevens...

    Also did the guitar on the soundtrack for top gun I think.

    Now this prick is ruining it for the rest of us steves.

    A few people posted about it on Facebook and didn't know what it was. I searched for it and was about to watch it. Something said to my mind "do you really need to see this?". I hate modern society. The desire and access to literally anything online is scary and unfortunately creating scenes like these

  • Registered Users Posts: 7,537 ✭✭✭KKkitty


    I really hope he's shot dead before he does any more harm. Obviously looking for notoriety and fame by doing it and uploading his actions to Facebook.

    I agree with you. For me I'm so used to hearing stuff like this that I'm a little bit desensitised when I hear of a new incident.

    Don't want to come across as insensitive in this thread, but on a lighter note, is Billy Idol worth checking out? currently going through a phase of listening to some classic artists. Playing Pink Floyd - Animals right now and its crazy how well it holds up after 40 years.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,505 ✭✭✭infogiver


    He seems to have completely tipped over the edge.
    His girlfriend has broken up with him( he calls her "the love of his life" ) he says he went to his mothers house to tell her that he was suicidal and she didn't care, he seems to work in the counselling field himself, he's phoned a friend to admonish him for never listening to him, he says he's going to kill as many "motherf***ers " as he can so he can be put on death row.
    Maybe it's all some kind of black hoax?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,002 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    There are videos online where he's justifying what he's doing.
    Taken in portrait mode.

    A clear sign of insanity right there.

    Fox News has confirmed that he works as a counsellor at a children's mental health facility. He seems to have gone to ground.

    So he wants to die?

    Why not just turn the gun on himself?

    Not to divert to thread but just had to say it more than holds up .... it's still 100% relevant. Floyd's dark masterpiece.

    It seems kind of telling that right now there's a killer who has supposedly executed 13 people one of which was broadcasted live, is still on the run, with practically an entire city at risk, & there's little or nothing about it.

    Had the guy been Muslim, however...

    Watched the video and it has to be one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. The sheer nonchalance as he announced what he'll do, left his car and walked over to the guy, shot him, and then walked away. Some news site had an interview with the victim's family. Can you imagine being them and knowing that your family member was executed in such a way? And to have it broadcast.

    Livestreaming, while great, has opened up an extremely scary can of worms. I believe it isn't the first time someone has been killed (or at least shot) while doing it. And not to mention the guys who kidnapped and tortured that mentally challenged individual.

    .

    The PC police have arrived.

    If he had been Muslim it may be a case where people would have legitimate gripes about whether he should have been allowed into the country. The Somali Minnesota knife attacker, the Somali Ohio attacker, the Afghan NY/ NJ bomber, the wife in the San Bernardino shootings, the list goes on.

    With him being a born and bred yank there's little they could do. The right to bear arms is a moot point on this- the US is so awash with guns it would be decades before any gun ban would have realistic effects (e.g. when the unsurrendered guns become unusable after a few decades)

    Still, I think this is some sort of Advertising gimmick ala Jim Figgerty or the Milk Tray 'burglar.'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,108 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    So now the once urban legend of snuff videos has become common enough and easy enough to find of social media from beheadings to live shooting held on Facebook live and people now click on links to see it.


    I haven't and don't feel the need to view or click on such links when they pop up on social media but it's crazy how desensitized the populations of the world as a whole are becoming to such things.

    Not his biggest fan but bit of a stretch pinning this one on Donald.
    First American president in a long time to talk at an NRA rally, the NRA being the same gang of lads that after Columbine held a rally nearby about how any guns would have to be taken from their "cold, dead hands".

    The problem and blame lies with that crowd, second amendment advocates, poor background checks/regulation, and poor mental health provisions. All of those fit Trump to a tee by are also central tenants of more or less the entire republican party, and we can expect this type of thing to get worse again over the next few years.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    Does anyone remember in the ..I can't recall if it was primary or secondary school English textbook, a very chilling excerpt/short story about the rise of reality television and the push towards more extreme "entertainment"? It ended up as basically a sort of Survivor/Hunger Games scenario with deaths broadcast. This would be a good few years ago now, probably about fifteen-twenty years.

    I can't help but be reminded of the very unpleasant story when hearing about live-feed killings and some of the absolute dregs of humanity that treat it like some sort of game in comments under these feeds.

    This thread & this incident have nothing to do with Donald Trump. I know certain people are so ****ing obsessed with the reality tv show that was the US election that they seem incapable of posting about anything else in any thread, with an us vs them slant('us' being a political party in a country thousands of miles away).

    So why not take your Michael Moore dodgily-edited documentary argument about Trump and dump it in a Trump black hole thread where it belongs?

    It wasn't me that brought up Trump - and I explicitly pointed out that I was referring to the Republican party as a whole. But don't let any of that get in your way there.

    This Steve Stevens guy seems have more than a few screws loose to be doing what he is doing, and the fact is that pushing to make guns as readily available as possible which the NRA are big fans of, with plenty of loopholes around regulations, while attempting to defund health care that includes mental health, is not going to do anything but make on the edge more likely to go off of it... yet these are all Republican platforms that Trump has also embraced. If you wish to argue with either of those points, feel free.

    So your argument the National Rifle Association likes to sell guns, well spotted, and that healthcare includes mental health, and because Republicans were against Obamacare they are responsible for this incident?

    It wouldn't have happened in Hillary had won right?

    Let's just forget that this man works at a Behavioral Health Agency, so would have had access to help if that's what he wanted.

    In fact let's forget about him completely, let's not even spell his name correctly, because he's not important. What's important is that Republicans are evil and Trump is their leader.

    Like i said take your schoolboy reasoning and bang heads with all the other morons in the Trump threads.

    You're still going on as if I said Trump was to blame for this incident? My point is that we can expect more than previously of it if he and the GOP gets their healthcare agenda through.

    Unless you think less health provisions and more, easy access to guns will help the situation, that is.

    Hope Steve Stevens gets caught & not killed, that's to easy.

    Statistically probably not, morally probably should be as big as any other, socially yes because of the live streaming and the implications of that.
