Mike Rowe’s Response To The Florida Shooting

GURPS

Evil is real. As long as humans have walked the earth, people have chosen to do evil things. This is what happened in Florida. A nineteen-year old man chose to do an evil thing. He planned it. He executed it. He succeeded.

Should we endeavor to know why? Absolutely.

Should we discuss the impact of video games, accessible firearms, single-parents, no parents, powerful medications, social media, mental illness, bullying, or anything else we think might have encouraged him to choose evil over good? Without question.

But we should also stop confusing the influence of such things with the root cause. Because nothing in this man’s past can possibly explain his decision to kill seventeen people. If you believe otherwise, ask yourself why millions of other people with a similar past don't make similar choices.

The past does not equal the future.

This is the most comforting thing I can tell you, Susan. It's also the most disconcerting. Because the facts are undeniable. People from horrible backgrounds often become the epitome of kindness. And people with every imaginable advantage often go on to squander everything.

You Cannot STOP Evil ... If Someone Means To Do Ill, They Will Find Away

How far will you stoop GURPS??? Your last post included an "eye roll" because the kids in FL who watched their friends get murdered in their high school are pissed of (are you even human?).

How far will you go to justify the continued slaughter of our kids?

How many more people have to die in these mass shootings before you will come to the conclusion that there are things we can change in an attempt to try to prevent future such events?

Mike Rowe comments are as stupid as all those on here. You all act as if this is some zero sum game (two outcomes). Since there is "evil in the world" there is nothing we can do to stop or prevent it. But it goes deeper than that doesn't it?

Your belief is that your desire to own a particular firearm supersedes the right of folks in Las Vegas to enjoy a concert; supersedes the right of first graders and high school kids to grow up, graduate, fall in love, have a career and live a long peaceful life; supersedes the right of citizens (black or white) to worship in their church and pray to the God of their choosing. This is the position you and those like you have taken.

So to sum up your advice to the kids in FL, it would be same as the chauvinist's to the women getting raped...instead of lay back and enjoy it...your basic argument is "lay down and die"? Your points were clearly summed up by psyops long ago....lay down and die for all you who die on the altar of 2a are just collateral damage.

Yet, had the shooter's first name been Abdullah and he screamed Allah Au Akbar which each pull of the trigger, you and all the rest of the ignorati would be screaming to ban every brown person from within the territorial confines of the US. But this was (another) white kid...so instead your advocate to do nothing.

:yahoo: Triggered Again

How Far Will YOU Go To Make Criminals Out of Law Abiding Gun Owners ?
How Far Will YOU Go To Strip YOUR Fellow Citizens of Their Rights ?

300 Million + Firearms were not used in any crimes yesterday.



Your belief is that your desire to own a particular firearm supersedes the right of folks ....


Why Yes, Yes It Does .... :dork:

The hysterical language is a scream. :lol:

"What kind of monster are you????"

:roflmao:

I'd be willing to have a discussion with a lucid informed person who could communicate like an adult. When they start going on about the "slaughter of our kids!!!!" I lose interest. Emotion-based arguments are boring and pointless.

"Since there is "evil in the world" there is nothing we can do to stop or prevent it."

Israel figured it out 40 years ago.

Honestly, they have a real threat in the crazy Palestinians. The Israelis get attacked on a regular basis and in response have become the masters of security.

Made-up "statistics" aside, attacks in schools are rare. The vast majority of US crime is one on one, not mass murder and terrorism.

Anyway, the progs don't want to keep children safe, they just want to ban guns. To prove it, mention how convicted child sexual predators cannot live near schools after they serve their incarceration, and watch the progs lose their hivemind about how terrible and unfair that is. Mention shutting down NAMBLA and watch them rally to its defense.

I posted the other day, approx. 98,000 public schools in the US, and 5 actual firearms incidents occurred last year. I find that number remarkably low.
 
Hey, how about a simple solution already on the books... we can have judges issue an order of protection for each school in their district. That piece of paper can protect the school from those who intend to harm. If guns kill then protective orders protect...:shrug:
