Breaking. Multiple deaths. No link yet.

Orlando shooting: workplace fatalities reported - CNN.com

Sheriff reporting the situation is "contained."

They are very patriotic in Orlando, I feel like.

Incorrect thread title. Second Amendment only gives right to bear arms, not to shoot them.

As long as it wasn't Islamic Terrorists, who cares?

This sounds like you care deeply.

@YankeeFan and some others don't seem particularly engaged with this story.

RIP to the victims.

It's an awful story.

A white army vet killing five former co-workers checks off all the wrong boxes to garner widespread outrage

 

[QYFW]

When white Army vets are killing co-workers daily across the world it will draw more coverage.

If you haven't denounced this murder on SJ.com yet, it means you wholeheartedly support white Army vets killing people and go out of your way to appease them.

The good thing about Islamic terrorism is that if you don't denounce one attack, you don't have to wait long for your next opportunity

Online bickering aside, this really is a terrible story. Orlando has had a **** year.

Wickedness. He killed people he knew then killed himself. Sheer wickedness.

Or possibly mental illness or other mitigating factors. We don't know yet. We may never know.

I had a client who killed his wife and both in-laws. He has about a 55 IQ and his father used to burn him with cigarette butts as punishment growing up. Alabama wants to execute him. That's wicked, too.

He sends me and everyone on the team a Christmas card every year.

I have sorrow for those who struggle with significant mental illness and cognitive disabilities.

I struggle more with a guy who tells one worker he doesn't know to leave because he's going to kill others he does know with a pistol.

There are so many frequent posters who are not contributing to this thread.

It's almost as if a person's political ideology drives which of otherwise similar crimes they find newsworthy.

At another time ... when it doesn't feel as if I'm doing a victory dance on someone's freshly dug grave ... I'll engage with one interesting statistical fact vis-a-vis an argument you (and others) have made in similar circumstances.

But not now.

When Trump brought the gun debate into the London situation, he missed some pretty obvious math. Three terrorists with a van, armed with knives, in one of the busiest spots in London, managed to kill seven people. Shortly thereafter, one guy with a pistol walked into a small Orlando factory and managed to kill five and himself.

Yet more math: One receives worldwide attention and calls for travel bans and God knows what else; the other disappears as just another mass shooting in America.

In fairness, the President of the United States is a total ****ing idiot.
