[QUOTE=WarriorWounds;48545128]His account was suspended, I can't see anything. I think that might be a good thing.[/QUOTE] I watched both videos, it shows him walking up to her pointing the gun at her sounds like he says bitch, then in the second video starts shooting like 12 times and she runs away with her hand on her side. I'm actually a little shaky from watching that... Hopefully he is caught soon.
[QUOTE=WarriorWounds;48545128]His account was suspended, I can't see anything. I think that might be a good thing.[/QUOTE] Yeah thank goodness, it was absolutely horrible. Consider yourself lucky, I wish I hadn't seen it. Good job Twitter for actually getting it down that fast though [B]Edit:[/B] I guess in a way it's a good thing he posted them though, we now know exactly who it was and hopefully the Police will find it a little easier to catch him and bring him to justice
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48545030]Remember when I said you don't care about facts? There have been multiple mass murders committed in Australia after the gun ban (actually the rate of mass murders increased) and they were all committed with weapons other than guns. But you'll conveniently overlook that or wave it off with an empty excuse.[/QUOTE] What facts? Mass murders basically never happen here. The homicide rate is still low and lower than ever. The "facts" are that the homicide rate in the US is almost 5x that of Australia's and most murders in the US are committed using guns, which is around 8x that of knives.
Info about what else he was posting before the attack on his Twitter feed. (Nothing NSFW on this one) [url]http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2015/aug/26/virginia-reporter-cameraman-shot-dead[/url]
He'll be caught within hours

You can see the video of the shooter here, but trust me it's brutal. [url]https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/636557303924174848/pu/vid/720x1280/qRs3zusq8SXtbPtm.mp4[/url]

Of course with that many more people there will be more crime.

Other tweets stated: “I filmed the shooting see Facebook,” “Adam went to [human resources] on me after working with me one time!!!” and “Alison made racist comments. EEOC report filed.

There must be something wrong with the shooter mentally, how can someone mentally healthy decide to kill over something like that? Possibly he's suicidal and wants death by cop? Since he posted the videos it seems he doesn't care about being caught

I was in complete suspense, I mean watching the first video had me thinking he was far away and was shooting from the parking lot or something. Then from the balcony or whatever
[QUOTE=cardfan212;48545190]Keep in mind that America's population is almost 14 times that of Australia. Of course with that many more people there will be more crime.[/QUOTE] It's a rate per capita. Obviously this is taken into account.

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;48545029]Yes you fucking can what the hell are you going on about Your police training is meant to minimize risk. You learn that in order to be prepared [I]if[/I] the person runs up to you or throws the knife. You don't learn that because he [I]will[/I] do either of those things and even if he does, it does not mean that he'll be as effective as he would be if he had a gun for fucks sake how on earth can you people think a knife is just as effective and lethal as a firearm[/QUOTE] Because they can be. Just because you shoot someone charging at you does not mean that they will stop running, it would be amazing if you only had to shoot someone once but alas that is not the case and why a knife within 31 feet of you is a scary thing. Second a knife will never jam or misfire if someone gets within stabbing range they now have an advantage. thirdly Kevlar does not protect against knifes, either you get a stab vest or you wear fuck ton heavy ass steel plates. Not to mention how easy it is to conceal a knife and how much more damage quick multiple thrusts with a knife can do. Also you mention that if a person will chrage or throw a knife, why would a citizen a pull a knife out in front of a police officer for any other reason than to be used as a weapon outside of special circumstances of course. After watching the video I can only stress that you should always be aware of your surroundings.
well full video with him walking up to them and stuff is here [url]https://vid.me/FJ39[/url] but it doesnt really add much other then him mumbing that bitch and stuff
Oh man
Yes, instead of getting better gun safety programs, and having better mental health treatment + mental health checks for guns, we should just somehow disarm the ~200 million people in the US with guns, because someone who plans to shoot up a school can't go and easily get an unregistered assault rifle through the black market / Mexico. Fuck the mentally healthy civilians who get registered guns for sport, hunting, and self-defense in the miniscule chance they get mugged while walking down the street.
this is going to be a media firestorm fuck man buy your ARs while you can there is going to be some fucking BACKLASH I was not ready for that.
There has to be something wrong with a man when he can so easily film himself doing this. One would think that they might have been able to see him point the gun or standing around in the earlier parts of the video. But fuck this guy and I hope they catch him soon
wow reading back farther on this guys twitter, doesn't look like he could hold a job very long anywhere can sued a few companies of "racist comments" quite often
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;48545235]wow reading back farther on this guys twitter, doesn't look like he could hold a job very long anywhere can sued a few companies of "racist comments" quite often[/QUOTE] I'm sure he was pretty racist himself.
He made a facebook account as well and posted the videos there (seemingly around the same time it was posted to twitter so it probably wasn't fake). They just said on the police scanner to disregard looking for his vehicle so they probably caught him.
Some people just loose their shit when they get fired. Sadly, with over 300 million people in the country sometimes people will resort to violence
Man, that video gave me a headache... What a disgusting pile of shit. Don't even bother wasting taxpayer money holding this guy in a cell, please.

The suspect just killed himself [url=https://twitter.com/WHSVnews/status/636562781005836288]Source[/url]
I'm thinking maybe this may end in suicide by cop, I just have that feeling. E: [QUOTE=The Chef;48545259]The suspect just killed himself [url=https://twitter.com/WHSVnews/status/636562781005836288]Source[/url][/QUOTE] Well I wasn't too far off.
