Shooting of the Week

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

In any case, CNN once again failed miserably in its pre-facts coverage, jumping the gun like a bunch of amateurs, and reveling in hours of premature shilling with talking heads some of whom insisted that "this is a version of Islam," warning that "the West is finished" because "our civilization is under attack" and that "this attack has Islamist fingerprints all over it."

A micro lesson in the larger pathology of media and its egging on of mass hysteria, for ratings, often free and far from facts.

They were all too happy to endlessly loop an unverified quote from one witness that contradicted testimonies from all other witnesses and eye witness videos, because the lady claimed the shooter yelled "Allahu Akbar." That is all they needed to hear.

But alas, he is an 18 year old Iranian-German kid who acted alone. Not a refugee. Not an immigrant. In fact, a German nationalist who is a hater of refugees and immigrants. He cursed out immigrants. He is German born and raised and yelled "I am German you shitty Turks."

Not a Muslim or at least no connection to religion. In fact, SIX of the 9 he targeted and killed are Muslims and immigrants. This one will sure stump the talking heads who have neatly boxed up narratives.

I heard that he loaded his pistol in the restroom while a boy was there but didn't do anything to the boy but attacked teenagers outside of the restroom. He was also obsessed with shooting sprees according to sources.

Yes, this seems more like a typical US style shooting spree by someone with mental health issues than a IS inspired attack at least from what we know so far. So far it seems that he was targeting Turkish teenagers and claims he was bullied by Turks (in Germany) as a kid.

Yeah, much more like a much more common US style shooting. This guy considered himself an Aryan (yeah, his parents are from Iran, and he considers himself an Aryan. As we know, Aryans were from India, not Norway; but that mythology can be discussed later). He converted to Christianity, and --if you listen to him shouting in German-- he was yelling "I'm a German" ... and he hates those "shitty Turks." He also wasn't disadvantaged, either. And, btw, the Munich attack took place on the 5th anniversary of the Breivik attacks in Norway. Yep, it sounds like an American incident. (Note how many of our attacks have happened on April 19th or 20th ("Patriot's Day" and Hitler's birthday).

Of Shiite Muslim origin, Sonboly appears to have converted to Christianity, hence his first name David.

The family lived in the well-heeled Maxvorstadt neighbourhood in a tidy social housing block popular with immigrant families.

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is coming down
I feel I’m knocking on heaven’s door

Shucks, Fort Myers was yesterday. Saturday was just as bad.

Four Dead, Including Child, in Texas Shooting

Four people were killed during a shooting at a Texas apartment complex on Saturday night, police said.

The victims included a three-year-old child, two women and a man, Bastrop Police Department said in a statement. The shooter was among the dead, police said.

A second child was also transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, the statement said.


That night in Kentucky.

Police in Paducah, KY, say they’ll seek charges against an Illinois man who pulled a gun at a Cinemark theater on Saturday when a fight broke out after a child kicked the back of the man’s seat.

According to the Paducah Police Department’s Facebook page, officers were called to the theater at 11:50 AM Saturday after a fight between two adult men ended with a gun drawn, reportedly during a screening of Star Trek Beyond.

Police say a man and his son “were sitting behind another man, and the son was kicking the back of the man’s seat. Witnesses said the man got up and cursed the youth, asking if he was going to continue kicking his seat. The boy’s father interceded, and a fight broke out between the two men — neither of which PPD has identified. As the father got the upper hand in the fight, witnesses said, the other man pulled a gun and said, ‘What the [expletive] are you going to do now.’”


Guess we'll have to wait for the ethnic details.

Another shooting this one involving teenagers getting shot at an event for teenagers in Florida. One of the guards was armed and ended up getting shot too.

Not a shooting, but think about this one when it comes to perception.

That's very little time she's doing for such a ridiculous crime. WTF!? Shouldn't it be 3 years x 40,000?
