Neglect for one. It's gonna be a tough court case.

IMHO it’s completely nuts. You can’t arrest someone for being a coward!

What took so long to decide to charge him  guess they agree that its a tough one...

Here we go again. We will get the same BS with the end result of more people dying.

We need to bring back brutal public torture and executions just for these criminals. An eye for an eye.

The USA averages one a month.

I'm pretty scared to leave my safe first world country (Canada) even for a short summer visit to the USA. I felt safer in Costa Rica.

The shooting is the 21st mass killing in the United States in 2019, and the fifth public mass shooting. Before Saturday, 96 people had died in mass killings in 2019 — 26 of them in public mass shootings.
The AP/USATODAY/Northeastern University mass murder database tracks all U.S. homicides since 2006 involving four or more people killed, not including the offender, over a short period of time regardless of weapon, location, victim-offender relationship or motive. The database shows that the median age of a public mass shooter is 28, significantly lower than the median age of a person who commits a mass shooting of their family.
Since 2006, 11 mass shootings — not including Saturday’s — have been committed by men who are 21 or younger.

And another one!!!!!!!!

Guns make y'all safer!!!!

[CountValentine]

You want to see the real cowards. Look in the mirror along with your supporters who refuse do anything!!!   

Today’s shooting in El Paso, Texas was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice. I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today’s hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people….

If I recall correctly, Canada also had a few mass shootings in the past couple years, not sure why you feel safe there.

What would you do if you were in charge? Banning guns isn’t THE solution, it is a partial solution at best but with many pitfalls.

We have been through this a million times. Any solution put forward and all the Kool-Aid drinkers say is that is not the answer.

[Jellybelly]

So where not gonna get any solutions here so can we just combine this with the “vent rant” thread?
That can be the master thread for all venting

There are many steps listed here over and over. The response from the Kool-Aid drinkers is always the same.

I’ve very curious, how do you decide when to use Kool-Aid and when to use racist? Is there any rhyme or reason? Is there a method to the madness?

Canada averages 1 (smallish) mass shooting every 18 months to two years, almost always with a gun snuck across the border from the lawless South. (I don't mean Mexico!)

The last public mass shooting that killed ten or more happened in Montreal in 1989.

It is really, really hard to get a legal gun here.

Down in the sooper-safe USA, where it's your constitutional right to buy a howitzer to keep yourself safe, people seem to feel the need to buy this.

Considering that Canadas population is about 1/9th the US you're really not doing better.

Here's a list for the last 300 years.
More than half weren't even killed by guns.

Doesn't all add up to a bad week in Chicago.

1/9 the population, 1/10,000 the death rate.

Just think if Canada had more guns than citizens. You would have no mass shootings like the US. Wait where did I go wrong with my logic?
