My heart hurts. I wish this wasn't a borderline regular occurance here in the u.s. Watching those kids not much younger than me, the same age as my little brother, fleeing off campus makes me feel sick.

This is my high school I graduated from. I'm 2 minutes away from the school- this is fucking insane. He's still actively in the school and I'd say at least 5 people have been shot and kids are currently hiding in the closet in their classrooms right this second. I'll update if I can, there's a livestream on NBC 6

And it's only February.

ATF called in Still no updates on the status of the shooter. This school has a huge campus since it's more open air styled. It takes like 15-20min to walk from one side to the other and it's 2 floors. Plus one 3 floored building and a gym

One of the kids tweeted a picture from inside. Queue all the major news sites asking to call him and putting himself in danger. [media]https://twitter.com/TheCaptainAidan/status/963868088683900931[/media]

Still really strange to see journalists asking for this in the middle of the shooting.

Reports that the shooter pulled the fire alarm and waited for the kids to leave the classrooms to start shooting at more kids at once. News of 20 people shot now, 1 death [editline]14th February 2018[/editline] Kids saying their friends were killed and that there's alot of blood

Let’s hope that number doesn’t increase anymore :( don’t post names or bodies yet, and for fucks sake can we keep the politics away until like tomorrow or something?

[QUOTE=joshuadim;53131864]This isn't the time or place for this shit my dude[/QUOTE] Seeing how the US has a school shooting every other day at this point, when IS it the time or place "my dude"?

[QUOTE=joshuadim;53131864]This isn't the time or place for this shit my dude[/QUOTE] It's exactly the goddamn time. We can't keep pretending there isn't an epidemic of shootings caused by the over-saturation of firearms in this country. It's not the time to defend fucking archaic gun laws when innocent people keep get fucking killed because of them.

[QUOTE=joshuadim;53131864]This isn't the time or place for this shit my dude[/QUOTE] it's funny because conservatives say that every time this happens, and then they continue saying it for the next 20 years (to a chorus of "up the nra" and a refusal to allow research into reducing gun violence) the time for conversation is always "later", no matter how much later it gets.

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;53131868]Seeing how the US has a school shooting every other day at this point, when IS it the time or place "my dude"?[/QUOTE] What do you define a school shooting? It can be just about any ordeal which takes place within 100 yards of a campus. It's not a mass shooting if it doesn't have more then 3 ~ 5 casualties. And when the bodies are still warm is not the time to start throwing shit about. Please. Stop.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;53131877]What do you define a school shooting?[/QUOTE] When a gun is fired with hostile intent in a school environment. [I]wow that was so hard to define oof i really stretched my brain muscles there[/I]

I graduated from Stoneman a few years ago, weird seeing it in the news like this. Hope they get the bastard.

Terrifying to think that I was for a moment not even shocked by the headline

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;53131881]When a gun is fired with hostile intent in a school environment. [I]wow that was so hard to define oof i really stretched my brain muscles there[/I][/QUOTE] Way to copy one part of the post and ignore the rest.

Just saw police had a suspect matching the shooters description in custody - not conclusive that he is the shooter

[QUOTE=joshuadim;53131864]This isn't the time or place for this shit my dude[/QUOTE] Do we wait until your child has been killed? How about when my nephew and niece are? When is the right time for this conversation, because any other time it gets aquated to "god damn lizard people trying to take away ALL the guns" by most. There is no right time because the fact that this happened at all is terrible. We need all sides to come together and work on reasonable control but no one wants to do that.

It's not the time to defend fucking archaic gun laws when innocent people keep get fucking killed because of them.[/QUOTE] the shootings are facilitated by the saturation of guns, but not caused by it. there are deeper issues here, a festering wound on the mental health and culture of our people.

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;53131868]Seeing how the US has a school shooting every other day at this point, when IS it the time or place "my dude"?[/QUOTE] AFTER the shooting has stopped and the suspect has been apprehended/taken out? People are in serious danger right now and people like you want to bring up politics. It honestly disgusts me.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;53131889]Way to copy one part of the post and ignore the rest.[/QUOTE] The rest of your post was semantic nonsense. It doesn't matter if there's 2 bodies, 5 bodies, 30 bodies or 100 bodies. It doesn't matter if it happened 10 seconds ago or 10 years ago. A gun was fired with the intent to harm and kill innoncent people. There's the definition of a school shooting.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;53131889]Way to copy one part of the post and ignore the rest.[/QUOTE] what are you doing, stop it

[QUOTE=Michael haxz;53131894]Do we wait until your child has been killed? How about when my nephew and niece are?

There is no right time because the fact that this happened at all is terrible. We need all sides to come together and work on reasonable control but no one wants to do that.[/QUOTE] What is reasonable gun control? Propose a solution, let's talk about it. When I am at my computer I will offer my ideas as a gun owner.

[QUOTE=joshuadim;53131896]AFTER the shooting has stopped and the suspect has been apprehended/taken out? People are in serious danger right now and people like you want to bring up politics. It honestly disgusts me.[/QUOTE] If it's brought up right now, it's too soon. If it's brought up in a few days, it's too soon. And bringing it up any later defeats the purpose of talking, because by the time people feel ready to talk [I]another [/I]shooting happens. And then the cycle continues. Fix your goddamn country.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;53131882]Then propose a solution - because waving your arms and screaming "we need to do something" is exactly as useful as doing nothing.[/QUOTE] I vote for candidates who want stricter gun control. I call my representatives and ask them to justify their positions on gun control. What do you want me to do? go out and steal everyone gun? Fuck off with your holier-then-thou bullshit. I can't personally do jack shit about gun violence, but I can call out people for peddling the same tired bullshit every time this happens.
