Amazing # of shooting rampages recently

Seem a bit odd to anyone else ?

Nah, it's an election year. Bread and circuses. < YAWN! >

What I find interesting is how in the eighties and early nineties every time there was a high profile shooting every left leaning politician is America was screaming about how we needed more Gun control and now days you hardly hear anything about gun control. In fact it seems that every time there is a shooting there are all kinds of people screaming about how we have too much gun control. The Democrats must have really gotten the message when they lost 62 seats in congress after passing the AWB.

Macht keine annung.

Nobody is going to tell me that "somebody somewhere did something, so turn in your guns". Sorry.

I don't care how many "reggies" (this is not a reference to the black shooter, but the scene from Naked Gun with Reggie Jackson trying to kill the Queen of England) they produce, either accidentally or intentionally.

I think actually they sent a "reggie" to the Obama rally in Texas where the SS told the cops to stop screening for weapons while people still poured in. Might be the guy who shot up the Wendys? Who knows - or will ever know - but I always assumed they would get a Lee Harvey Oswald claiming militia or white identity ties to do the deed to so further balkanize the country.

Yes. Very odd. Wish I knew what to make of it.

I also find it strange that the shooters fit similar psychiatric drug profiles. I wonder if anyone has chemtrail release data over their areas for the 2 weeks leading up to the incidents?

Proof?

I find it strange that the media are quick to cite psychiatric drug use (or discontinuation of) as a contributing factor in shooting sprees, but they never say which drugs the person was supposedly taking, or stopped taking. But they seem to have no problem telling you the exact make and model of the gun, the type of ammo used, how many rounds they had and how many were fired, etc. I think citing the drug use is a total sham, if not outright lies.

Another in TN on the news

I think the real question is, are there really more shootings...or just more shootings the media is reporting on?

For a country with a population of 300 mil+, guns account for a miniscule portion of deaths. Too bad the media doesnt/won't report on that....

 

[maeqFREEDOMfree]

crazy people do crazy things... what's there to figure out?

 

[Truth Warrior]

My best guess is that it's just another "engineered" manifestation of the old, tired, lame, bogus, effective and time-tested Problem-Reaction-Solution Paradigm.

I think this is the most likely answer, I was flipping through the channels the other day at noon time to see if there was anything going on and CNN (I know shoot me for watching) interrupted their broadcast for "Breaking News", a bank robbery in NH, I don't even think any shots were fired or anything. But CNN was interrupting their national news to report it. Anything and Everything to keep us scared is the tactic they are using now.

Shit if CNN wants to report bank robberies let them come to Detroit, banks get held up here EVERYDAY of the week.

Michael Savage talks about this. If you look at most shooter stories, they are on prozac or some other new psychotropic drug. Now there are warnings on the prozac that it might be linked to increase thoughts of suicide and violence.

It is a powerful drug which may be unleashing or unlocking some self control mechanism which leads to these shootings.

We had very few shootings in the fifties. There were criminals in later decades who in the process of committing a crime would kill lots of people.

Now we have people planning for days, weeks, months and years about how to shoot fifteen people in a school.

Also Hollywood has made some movies about lone gunman going into schools and shooting classmates. The Columbine shooters looked at certain films to get ideas. Some people can't handle fictional movies. The Basketball Diaries with Dicaprio was seen by these guys.

Here are some book links.

However, one or two of the shooters was taking certain depressive type drugs.

That's a great point, perhaps instead of banning psychiatric drug users from owning a gun, as they are trying to do now, they should be banning the psychiatric drugs that seem to CAUSE these people to go Postal.

 

[the_british_are_coming]

it is also a function of the media going out of their way to find and report every possible story.

nothing new. but you can trust them, since they're on tv...

Too... much.... logic.... my soft... sheeple... brain can't... can't... process

Yes absolutely they should be looking at the drugs and not the guns. Perhaps one of those large black & white Surgeon General warnings: "This drug may either (a) cure your psychiatric disorder or (b) MAKE YOU WANT TO KILL."

But as we know, it's all about the $$$... it'll be a cold day in hell before the pharmaceutical companies admit they know what's going on with all these drugs they're pushing.

Actually, I believe that most of this is caused by.... believe it or not... INFLATION.

Besides the elderly, who don't have much time to live, who is worst hit by rising inflation?

The young. I can't even imagine how hard it must be for young people these days with everything costing so much relative to just 9 years ago when I graduated.

Inflation is the root cause of the majority of our country's problems.
