Daenerys 5,069 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) "A gunman sporting a rifle and body armor opened fire in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing at least 10 people before being taken into custody Saturday afternoon, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. Details on the number of additional people shot at the Tops Friendly Market and their conditions weren’t immediately available. The two officials were not permitted to speak publicly on the matter and did so on the condition of anonymity. Investigators believe the man may have been livestreaming the shooting and were looking into whether he had posted a manifesto online, the official said. The official cautioned the investigation was in its preliminary stages and that authorities hadn’t yet discerned a clear motive, but were investigating whether the shooting was racially motivated." https://apnews.com/article/buffalo-supermarket-shooting-442c6d97a073f39f99d006dbba40f64b?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP Edited May 14 by Daenerys Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen 3 20 Link to post Share on other sites
Reginald 10,787 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The fact that grocery store mass murder is becoming commonplace and as normalized as school shootings (which in itself is absolutely horrifying). Can't even buy groceries in America without worrying about being killed in cold blood. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I posted it and thought nothing other than, “another event in America that will eventually die out after two days.” As terrible as that sounds, it’s crazy how this has become a norm for most of us here in the US Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Though I agree mass shootings are too common in America, they are far from the norm. The vast majority of Americans go to the grocery store without any concern about any kind of violence, no assualt, no shootings. America is large and these kinds of events tend to take over the news cycle. Though I don't doubt what PartySick describes in Florida, it's not like that anywhere that I have lived. I do stick to suburban areas tho instead of inner cities of large cities. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not mass shootings like this one but gun crimes are definitely a daily thing and so extremely common that it gets a "just another day" attitude from a lot of Americans And all at once, you're all I want 💚 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Daenerys 5,069 Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 I’m not going to post it but the manifesto is disturbing and disgusting. He wrote his entire plan for the day including shooting people on the street. May he spend the rest of his days suffering and when his time comes, he rots in hell.

Some have neighborhood watch, everyone has multiple cameras and if something gets stolen, the police get video and witness testimony from multiple sources. Other neighborhoods, nobody sees anything and the residents let the gangs run things and don't expect the police to do anything, and nobody rats to the police. Some neighborhoods, criminals are rats to be rid of, jailed (again and again if needed). Some neighborhoods, rats are the innocent citizens that report crimes. Gun crimes aren't universal, imo. Be safe though, you gotta know your neighborhood. Link to post Share on other sites
