He posted over at misc, but the mods are actively deleting the threads. Guess they haven't heard of google cache.

Condolences to all who lost loved ones. Just another example that the status quo isn't working and something should be done.

Yes, that's him. reports say his father Peter is a director (worked on The Hunger Games) & his mother Soumaya Akaaboune was in Green Zone. The YT video is pretty creepy.

Yet another narcissistic, self entitled kid gone bad

People have murdered since nearly the beginning of time. I guess the status quo has never worked.

But what?

I think it's time to start publishing the pharmaceuticals both legal and illegal that these mass shooters are using. Including their ADD meds.

Don't be daft. You can never prevent all evil from happening, all the time. These shootings are incredibly rare, you might as well make a huge deal out of people being struck by lightning. "Too many people are getting hit, something must be done!". No, it's just an unfortunate reality of this world, some people are messed up in the head and kill other people. If they can't do it with a gun they will use something else. Homemade bombs are easy enough to make, just ask the boston marathon a-holes.

Interesting how there's always an excuse for not doing anything. I think it's criminal that we sell firearms to convicted felons in 33 states, and according to the ATF is the 2nd greatest transfer. You're probably right that I'm just stupid though to think something is wrong here.

I'm curious, if you think salespeople are one step up from child molesters, where do mass murderers fall on your scale of evil people?
