Shooting at Texas church

By one person?

 

Were his requests for an exorcism denied?

 

The guy in Vegas shot 500. Although the timeline is confusing, it appears he would have had 15-30 more minutes to shoot if he hadn’t decided to off himself when he did.

That was a crowd of 22,000. What if you’re talking about a crowd of 75,000+ and a more prolonged shooting time?

 

He said 1000 dead. Not shot.

 

Right.

Take a crowd of 75,000 — say, a parade in LA or NYC — and give the shooter (or even multiple shooters) an extra 15 minutes. He/they will hit several thousand people. How many will die?

 

Ugh ...

 

I'm wondering how much pharmaceuticals are twisting people up too.

I know mental illness drugs are designed to help, but I've always scratched my head over the mental illness drug warnings that say things like "may increase suicidal tendencies" or something to that effect. Always makes me think WTF. Pharmaceuticals seem like throwing chemical darts at a dartboard with a lot of uncertainty as to what the effects will be. Some, hopefully most, will be good. And this approach I guess replaced the asylums.

 

Sigh.

 

We are definitely an over-medicated society. Much like the NRA, the drug companies have a lot of power over Congress, on both sides.

Nobody knows if this kid was on something, legal or otherwise. It seems like he had huge problems, since he was booted from the Air Force.

Regardless, it's still terrorism, even though he was white and domestic. But your point about drugs is a good one.

 

You don't have to use guns for domestic mass casualties. McVeigh is Exhibit A.

The Nice, France truck incident was bound to be copied in the US eventually. NYC Monday in that respect was unsurprising.

Just wait until people really amp it up with chem/bio mass casualties. Matter of time. It's already occurred in Japan and in the US.

 

I think NRA overlords told their lapdogs to cut the "thoughts and ... " because it sounds too canned. So it's just prayers today.
