101 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I thought with the lack of traffic that the Americans might have been behaving themselves, however not to be. 5 school kids have been arrested after firing 30 rounds into a crowd of people waiting for a bus one person ended up being shot 9 times but seems has survived which is good going. Elsewhere a bar fight turned into a shootout in Indianapolis where 2 off duty cops who were working as door men at the time intervened, one was shot along with 5 others the interesting thing about this story is it seems the person who eventually died left the scene of the shooting before wandering into a hospital later but presumably had also lost too much bloody. Ridiculously unserious country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Some sanity at last... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68773119 "The parents of a Michigan teenager who shot dead four students have each been sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison. A seven-year sentence was recommended, but prosecutors asked for more. James and Jennifer Crumbley, the first parents of a US school shooter to be convicted, appeared together for the first time in months at Tuesday's sentencing hearing. Both expressed regret about their son's attack, as their lawyers pushed to minimise their prison sentence. In a landmark case, jurors in separate trials found each parent of shooter Ethan Crumbley guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year. Judge Cheryl Matthews said that the expanded sentence of 10 to 15 years was "to act as a deterrent" and reflected the parents' failure to stop the attack. "They [parents] are not expected to be psychic. But these convictions are not about poor parenting. They concern acts that could have halted a runaway train."

BillyAnchor Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Americans practice some typical exceptionalism by refusing to worry about events in the Middle East and shooting up the surrounding streets instead. Chicago and Los Angeles. Fortunately the casualties were few. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/8-shot-including-3-children-in-back-of-the-yards-chicago-police-say/ https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/man-in-custody-after-allegedly-firing-as-many-as-50-rounds-from-balcony-of-marina-del-rey-complex/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 After my latest interaction with CVS and their pharmacy app, I’m working on a new theory that a significant percentage of U.S. shootings may be related to people going batshit crazy after dealing with a healthcare insurer or provider.
