'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

It's because it's always poors shooting poors. Our nation's owner class that makes the rules and orders around both parties doesn't care about livestock infighting. They literally sow division between us with their media machines because it's in their interests to keep us divided.

They have their own country with its own schools and its own private clubs, they don't care what the inmates of their capital farm do to each other.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If they were shooting up board rooms instead of classrooms we'd have gun control yesterday

That's the thing, it isn't poors shooting poors. House rep Gabby Giffords was shot in the head at a constituent event. House rep Steve Scalise was shot at a Congressional baseball game.

Lol they don't have 30 million in net worth between them. Their whole net worth put together equates to one whole super yacht.

You do know, with rare exceptions that don't take the money, federal politicians are just the paid middle managers for the owner class, right? A big reason Americans get into politics to begin with is to get on the take and become lowball multi-millionaires for doing what the money tells. Them. Yay greed, our primary culture value.

Also, having to go as far back as 2011 for examples when we have mass shootings constantly kind of makes my point.

Their whole net worth put together equates to one whole super yacht.

"They're not rich, they're only worth like $15 million dollars! "

Perhaps not the strongest argument...

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There's 'I can buy anything I want money,' and there's 'I can warp the culture with media, pay lobbyists to warp policy to my holding's interests against the public's, and buy politician's allegiance' money.

And yeah, their 20 and 5 million respective net worths put them firmly in column A, and lets be honest, barely that these days to be considered rich. 5 million doesn't buy much at all in places where actually rich people congregate, you aren't even getting mid tier real estate in wealth class hives like Manhattan, Malibu, or San Francisco. It's even on the high end of conceivable to have earned such sums rather than having been aquired through exploitation and or speculative investment aka gambling, although not in their cases.

I was just thinking to myself "it's been a while since the last one, probably another just around the corner." Sorry, I jinxed it.

[–] Meltrax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

There are shootings and deaths from them literally daily in the US. They just have to be "mass" shootings to make the news these days, normal old homicides are too common.

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's Murica O'Clock somewhere.

And as ever, this is exactly who we are, and may our gilded shithole of a country be viewed and judged as such, when it isn't being correctly condemned for how we treat our poor, our homeless, our prisoners, our children...

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not only is it who we are, it's who we want to be based on our voting records.

If there aren’t any shootings occurring in America then that simply means that there aren’t any people in America.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So, more than ten dead? Anything less is so common as muck, it is not newsworthy in the US anymore.

In my country, the rare event that police actually drew a gun on a man attacking them (and got hurt in the process) made the nationwide evening news and is leading to an inquiry why they drew a weapon in the first place and if actually shooting at the attacker was using excessive force.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Not necessarily. There was a shooting in my town that made national news before anyone knew any details because it happened in a super market, but only one person was shot.

[–] donuts@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Sigh, here we go again.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It too soon to talk about the gun problem in this country and it will continue to be too soon until the shooting stops. Which it won't.
