5 dead in Texas shooting, suspect armed with AR-15 is on the loose

  1. Interesting part on Fox today was the reference a few times to not being sure what the legal status was of the 5 people who were shot including the little girl of 9 years.....like that matters in any way at all...

    Not a good look to imply it's OK to murder your neighbors including the children if you believe or heard they're illegal immigrants.

    Too many dickheads out there like ETs "innervoice the racist" that will do just that.

    Are you really having a discussion though? If you get someone to even agree to the obvious facts of the matter you’re not having a discussion. You’re just wasting your time. Some people really don’t care.

    The legal status is they were murdered and murder is illegal.

    The only reason one would even bring that up in any genuine way is to dispel the notion that "illegals are out here murdering citizens." We know fox et.al. is just engaging in their typical dehumanizing "otherisms"

    It matters, a lot. "If you don't want to die in a mass shooting then don't come to America!"

    Its hard when folks don't agree with you all the time, isn't it, UN? Sometimes that happens. And you know what? Tony does an awesome job of making coherent arguments and not getting all pissy or snarky when people don't agree. You could learn a bit from him.

    I think you're giving a little too much credit to the "strategic planning of criminals". If the bad guy already has a gun, he's going to bring it with him if he believes he's not going to get caught crossing. Like the same way they bring drugs across - because they can, and do, get away with it.

    Well he was stupid enough to be shooting an AR in his front yard and kill 5 people so its definitely possible.

    Entirely my point. Criminals aren't known to be deep thinkers - at least not the garden variety lunatics. The ones that are more strategic usually don't get caught for a long while, sometimes never at all.

    But I do agree with the ease of getting a gun in the United States. So lets move on to "how do we fix it"?
