    A shooting rampage in America? that's both shocking and unusual..... If only there was a good guy with a gun.

    YouTube HQ?

    At least they'll be smart enough to take footage in landscape

    It will take a few shootings in US tech companies to get a groundswell of support for gun control to really gain momentum.

    They bring it on themselves. Oh drama, whip out the phones, press record, then whip out the guns.

    The shooter is female according to some reports.

    Wouldn't be bothered humouring us with a link to at least one of these reports, no?

    No, like this one. Plenty of other ones out there now.

    Course we don't know why this shooter is there but i think it's long past time that some of these social media tech companies are regulated. Their platforms can be used to destroy people's lives and there's very little can be done about it....

    So sorry for those injured or dead, but this is just so "ah here, another one" now, so no one takes any notice anymore. Such is America.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,340 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    No Live stream?
    Kinda disappointing for YouTube.

    "Thoughts and prayers" is the term we should be using.

    No just immune to it now. That's the society they chose to have where any idiot is allowed have a weapon, let them at it. I have zero sympathy since Sandyhook.

    Maybe if we called them murderers or assassins rather than Shooters that would be good?

    Typical Americanism to hide the reality.

    Let's call the random victims collateral damage, it works for their military when they kill innocent civilians.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,126 ✭✭✭screamer


    Fox news just reported the shooter is a white female wearing a white top....I'm sure if you watch their live feed you'll see it. Also CNBC reported that there is no immediate threat at YouTube offices....whether that means shooter is down or captured I don't know


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,744 ✭✭✭diomed


    Are we expected to have sympathy every time it happens and the USA does nothing to take guns from people?
    Or they take guns from people when they have killed innocents with guns, and the police kill the shooter using their guns..

    Of course, and multiple candles everywhere with tears, and bunches of flowers to match. Awful denial.
