Four Marines killed in a rampage shooting, coincidentally occurring a few weeks after another one

[Mr. Sunshine]

How many people need to be slaughtered before you stop bowing at the altar of political correctness?

 

[SpeedTchr]

Starman, you seem to spend so much time every day listening to the right-wing screechosphere, I can't imagine how you work for a living. Just sayin'.

 

[JC]

Speculation supported by....more speculation.

Ryan Braun?

He will lead the revolution against the corporatists and right-wing lunatics, if he doesn't have a heart attack first.

 

[outofplace]

Ryan Braun?

No, that was speculation supported by a tainted sample.

But yeah, one bit of speculation turned out to be true, so let's just assume all speculation is true.

The Chattanooga killings aren't terrorism: They are a rational, horrific act of war.

If we're going to change gun laws, can we start with prohibiting folks who are diagnosed with depression and/or bipolar disorder from purchasing them?

If you're on meds for some form of mental illness and/or are suicidal, maybe there should be an obligation for the prescribing physician/mental health expert to add your name to a database of folks who can't purchase a firearm.

As the F.B.I. sent more investigators into this city Monday to explore dozens of possible leads, a picture took shape of a deeply troubled young man who struggled with mental illness and drug abuse at the same time he found himself alienated from United States policies in the Arab world...
...
Mr. Abdulazeez had suffered for years from depression and possibly from bipolar disorder, the family representative said, adding that he had abused alcohol and possibly prescription painkillers and had gained and lost jobs.
...
In a few pages of rambling notes being pored over by the F.B.I., Mr. Abdulazeez wrote about suicide and martyrdom as long ago as 2013...
...
Mr. Abdulazeez received a diagnosis of mental illness when he was in his early teens. He was treated with medication in high school and college, but "he wasn't always good about taking them," the family representative said. Law enforcement officials confirmed that they too had learned that he had serious psychological problems.

He turned to drugs and alcohol, and family members tried to get him into a rehab program.
...
He went to work in 2013 at a nuclear power plant near Cleveland, but was fired within days because he failed a drug test...

The IRA agrees with this.

No hunter or other kind of manly man would ever seek help for depression or other mental disorder.

 

[Vombatus]

No hunter or other kind of manly man would ever seek help for depression or other mental disorder.

Wrong. Very wrong.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Wrong. Very wrong.

What's wrong about it? Let's say they made a law that you couldn't buy beer or stream music if you had a diagnosed mental illness. Should I ever have issues, I sure would think twice about seeking help for them.

I'm good with that. Maybe also add that a nuclear power plant may also not be your best work environment.
