Two dead and nine seriously injured...in a shooting.
2 Students Killed and 9 Injured in Brown University Shooting
Hundreds of police officers were searching for the gunman after he escaped into the streets of Rhode Island’s capital, officials said.
.....
At least two of the Brown University students who were on campus when a deadly shooting unfolded there on Saturday have survived school shootings before.
One is Mia Tretta, a junior who was shot in the abdomen during a 2019 shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, Calif.
.......
Another Brown student, Zoe Weissman, 20, was 12 when she witnessed the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., from outside her middle school next door. She said she developed post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the shooting, in which 17 people were killed.
Our gun laws are fucking ridiculous!

Australia beat us, killing 11 in a Jewish community even that thousands attemd. One gunman killed, another critical, pssibly third. 29 taken to the hospital. Merry Xmas! Hat is everywhere - don't think this is left wing, should be right wing, but nothing definite.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the shooting was “an act of evil antisemitism, terrorism, that has struck the heart of our nation.”

...as evidenced by the mass shooting gun-free Australia last night.Umm, what now?
Immediately after the Port Arthur massacre, a national amnesty saw the number of firearms in the community plummet but there are now more than 4 million guns in Australia – almost double the number recorded in 2001.
Yes, the population has increased at the same time but there is now a larger number of guns in the community per capita than in the aftermath of Port Arthur, with at least 2,000 new firearms lawfully entering the community every week.What a dumbass.

And oh, yeah.
The police have a "person of interest" detained. A white MAGA guy's name and motives would have been broadcast immediately so you know it's not that.
Another factoid: the shooting started in a classroom tied to Judaic studies. Today is the first day of Hanukkah. Not hard to do the math here.

I should have said "relatively gun free" Australia. All you libs want gun laws like they have.
Back on Ignore you go, ChatNPC. There are only a couple of people left on this board that I don't consider to be one of
(a) Completely stupid
(b) Dishonest to the core
(c) Have a couple of brain cells they can rub together, but choose to waste everyone's time with sh1t posting all day
(d) Some combo of (a), (b), or (c).
...and needless to say, you don't make the cut.
You ring the bell pretty loudly for choice (d). While you're not completely stupid, you're limited in many ways - you're ignorant of most topics and can generally only regurge talking points handed to you by whatever agent programs your firmware. You write in *exceptionally* bad faith ways with almost nonexistent intellectual integrity and do nothing but sh1tpost all the live-long day.
Toodles, sunshine!

I would think the media would start yapping the fastest if it was the "Islamic boogyman", given the ambush in Syria, and the DC Guardsmen shooting. That has been the default media yap, for 20 years: in the complete absence of information, the media starts speculating about the Isalmic boogyman.

Chicago has pretty strict gun laws, why don't they enforce those to the max?
Because a disproportionate number of offenders in Chicago are young black males.
That's a disparate impact which Dems believe is racist.
Tough laws are racist.
Tough gun laws really really racist.
That's why blue cities hate the police and don't want to enforce the laws.

You have not a clue. I watched a video of a man disarming one of the shooters, and the man turned out to be a Muslim. So just wait.

Two names being reported:
At Bondi beach:
The 24-year-old was identified as Naveed Akram, a Pakistani national based in Sydney, according to a U.S. intelligence briefing and a driver's license provided by Australian police. Police previously said the deceased gunman was the son, but Lanyon later clarified that the father was shot and killed by police.
"What we saw yesterday was an act of pure evil, an act of antisemitism, an act of terrorism on our shores
"The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Australia targeting a Jewish celebration," wrote U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/leas...At Brown:
The man detained as a person of interest in the shooting is 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson, three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told NBC News.
It is not yet clear whether Erickson had any ties to the university. Officials are looking into any possible connection to Brown as well as his mental health history, according to the sources.https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/know...Pretty routine media coverage we have seen over the last 20 years: the one with a Muslim sounding name, ID'd as Pakistani, and nothing more said, implying his being Muslim is all you need to know. The one with a potentially WASP name: the media floats the idea he is a "disturbed individual", with not one mention of "terrorism" in the article.

Your anti semitism is showing again. I am talking about media bias: Muslim perps always spun as part of the monolithic, globe girdling, Islamic boogyman conspiracy, while a white perp is dismissed as funny in the head. Remember Dylann Roof, the white kid that tried to kill everyone in a Bible study class at a predominately black church? The media was called out, that time, for trying to spin him as a "disturbed individual", their default spin for white perps, in spite of his clearly stated white supremacist political agenda. Same thing on the NBC national "news" tonight, repeatedly: the idea the Brown suspect is a mental case, but no excuses for the Bondi Beach perps.
Here's a piece about Roof, written shortly after his terrorist act.
He’s a white racist domestic terrorist. Was that so hard to say?
Dylann Roof – who has reportedly confessed – is a domestic terrorist right out of central casting...Fueled by his hatred of black people, he’s a classic domestic terrorist as defined by the U.S Code of Federal Regulations: “The unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.”
Yet, amazingly (OK, not so amazingly), some people can’t bring themselves to call this kid what he is. They don’t see the terrorism. They don’t see the racism. They won’t concede that, all too often in America, a twisted misfit can get a gun almost as easy as a candy bar. Instead of connecting the dots, they lie to themselves, like they did yesterday on Fox News. Big letters on the bottom of the screen: Attack On Faith. Because, you see, this was not a hate crime (no matter what the Charleston police said), this was just another attack on Christianity.
So let’s state the obvious: Roof should not be described as “a loner,” or “a disturbed individual.” He’s part of a pattern, an heir to the racist hatred that still stains our society, half a century after the civil rights movement. He’s a terrorist who committed violence against innocent civilians in furtherance of a political objective. The facts speak for themselves. And as the late southern historian Shelby Foote once observed, “Facts are just the bare bones out of which truth is made.” https://whyy.org/articles/hes-a-white-racist-domes...Steve

The one with a potentially WASP name: the media floats the idea he is a "disturbed individual", with not one mention of "terrorism" in the article.The NBC evening "news" is now available for viewing on line.
The discussion of the Brown shooter starts around the 5:00 minute mark.
At the 5:15 mark, big on-screen card "Extensive Mental Health History"
6:50 mark: discussion of his military service, setting up a PTSD excuse.
7:12 mark: "investigators are looking deep into mental health history"
7:45 mark: "strengthen calls for greater funding and access to mental health care"
https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news-netcast/video...All this blather by the media to set the guy up as a "disturbed individual", because, apparently, white people aren't supposed to be mass shooters. Not one whiff of "terrorist" in their entire whitewash.
Oops. late news reported the police are satisfied that he isn't the guy, and released him, after the media called him a head case four times, in the space of 3 minutes.
Brown University mass shooting live updates: Detained person to be released
Neronha said that tips “led to us detaining a person of interest,” but that the evidence “now points in a different direction.”
“It’s really unfortunate that this person’s name was leaked to the public,” he said. “It’s hard to put that back in the bottle.”https://www.providencejournal.com/live-story/news/...Marco, this is the point I was trying to make about media bias in reporting mass shootings. Now, every time this guy applies for a job, and the employer does a net search on him, he's going to see the media calling him a head case, over and over, for the rest of his life. I hope he gets a lawyer and sues the pants of the media for defamation, because the media was in a rush to provide an excuse for a white person doing something horrific.
