Active shooter at Florida State

[allisolm]

Don't know many details. Apparently some patients are being taken care of at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. Don't know how many or how serious. Stories are that people saw one person in handcuffs. Don't know how accurate that is. Supposed to be a news conference in a few minutes. Instructions from police are for students to remain in place - holed up wherever they are.

One local site says

Six injured, one critically; man arrested; campus locked down​

Another local news site says one critical and the rest in serious condition and the copa are still clearing the campus.

So they caught the perp alive? Will this terrorist be heading to CECOT?

Can we just drop this story so we can go back to anti-woke and trans women in sports?

Suspect in custody.

Saw local news video of person in an ambulance being shackled to the gurney.

Saw some bodies.. not gonna post those here. But there will be fatalaties!

 

[MrSquished]

Another senseless tragedy brought to you by the Republican party. I guess at the least I hope the only injured people are MAGA.

 

[allisolm]

Apparently one of those hunkered down was a survivor of the Parkland shooting . Talk about unlucky to have had that happen or maybe very lucky to have come out unscathed - twice.

News conference supposed to be at four.

PSA: there are 400 million other firearms out there not being used in this manner. Ignore that fact and continue not preparing yourself for the fascism you see around you. Totally not an own-goal in the making.

If you actually believe that fascism is here and we're in the midst of a constitutional crisis, then why haven't you gone out and purchased a firearm? Are you waiting for the fascists to take away that right before lamenting on how they're taking away our freedoms one by one by one? Are you not concerned about what happens when YOU are not allowed to own a firearm?

The curse of Cassandra is real.

You can be peaceful without being harmless.

Answer: Because even now, the likelihood of self-harm or one of my kids finding the gun and accidentally shooting themselves/others is far greater than the likelihood the fascist militia comes after me. Yes, that’s even with free trigger locks being given out like candy at my local library.

Is he white?

 

[pete6032]

If he's white you can't call him a terrorist. We all know the rules.

 

[cytg111]

If one were to STEREOTYPE then you could be forgiven for putting money down on a bet that reasoned along the lines of
"Universities bad."
"Universities DEI."
"Universities leftist socialists."
"In name of Rittenhouse, they must die."

 

[HomerJS]

Shooter captured. This will be my easiest prediction to date.

white = misunderstood youth/mental illness or other descriptors to soften the crime
person of color/Muslim/immigrant = terrorist

Ask me how I know this

Self-harm is certainly a legitimate reason. However, in addition to trigger locks, every firearm I've purchased has also come with a lock that goes through the action in such a way as make an accidental shooting impossible (the result of California legislation, as I understand it, and sensible IMO).

The fascist militia isn't coming after you at all, yet, and might not ever have a reason to. That doesn't mean you don't have a future responsibility to yourself, your family, and your community to resist them when they come after others.

Additionally, there are better options than just trigger locks to secure a firearm, and I'm not including teaching your children to respect firearms.

I'm not attacking you for not owning a firearm.

I'm just making sure that before the 200+ post pile-on blaming guns for reverse-osmosis-inducing humans to murder each other for sport, almost every gun in existence will never be used for mass gun violence.

I'm also making sure to remind people that you are literally watching the current fascist regime, in real time, explicitly tell you that they're allowed to disappear people without due process and send them to foreign concentration camps.

So, maybe the framers of the constitution knew what they were doing following up the first amendment with the second amendment.

News conference pushed back to 4:30.

See. Just become the 11th Canadian province. No worries about gun nutters

Because I know that my little sidearm is useless against the military. It is much more likely to cause harm to my family or me than to be useful in a fascist takeover. It really is delusional to think that you are going to go all Red Dawn on the US military and not just be immediately killed by a drone with IR and a sniper rifle.

If he's white you can't call him a terrorist. We all know the rules.

White people can't be terrorists, even when they are it is because of mental illness. *nod*

The US Military isn't sending an armored division down your block to snatch your neighbor, and this tired argument in favor of complying in advance is laughable on its face.

Yup, the point is that 1.2 guns per poorly educated citizen becomes too much to contemplate controlling, so nobody can ever try.

It's delusional to believe that the 400+ million guns already existing are going to be collected and turned into plowshares, yes. I agree.
