Shooting people will get you a one star rating. Definitely frowned upon.

We could find out why he did it, what set him off, what mind altering illegal drugs he may have been on, what mind altering prescribed drugs he may have been on. Being an Uber driver seems like a kind of last resort to make ends meet. Maybe he was in tough financial difficulties and couldn't get work, maybe his home life was taking a turn for the worse, maybe one bad passenger set him off and he took it out on others at random.
There was no AK 47 involved and he wasn't a moslem or a white separatist and he didn't target minorities so the media won't want to carry this too far and it can't be politicized the way some would like. But we can still push for answers and make it uncomfortable for them to just forget about it.

So what was the point of your initial post? What were you trying to say with that sarcastic post?


"At least he had easy access to guns and his 2nd amendment right was not trampled upon."


How do you know he had easy access to a firearm?


How do you know his 2nd amendment rights weren't trampled?

most gun owners favor restirctions.... so we know that your statement to the contrary is false.


unfortunately the liberal mind is unable to differentiate anything but black and white, all or nothing, zero threshold. So the concept of diminishing return is alien to their way of thinking.


Let's wait for the story to unfold..unless you have special insight. Odd that a normal guy goes bonkers. guess your training as a liberal diminishes your curiosity, which coincidently is associated with intelligence.

Reading comprehension not going well?


"At least he had easy access to guns and his 2nd amendment right was not trampled upon."


I questioned how 'easy access' was determined in this situation


next, I asked how the guy's 2nd ammednment rights were trampled in this situation


Then I questioned what was point that sarcastic remark.


the answer you provided is not related to any of my questions.

Ahhhh, the good old CD tradition of standing on the backs of dead children to score political agenda Pokemon points.

Impressive, most impressive.

Thoughts and prayers to the deceased and their family and friends.

Im OK with that. People we admit to the country, we should feel safe enough to do this, if we don't.....then why are we admitting them?
100% agree!

I used to hitch-hike in the '70s and early '80s. Me and all of my friends who did the same (we were poor white trash) carried guns. I never had to pull one or even felt threatened (most of the time I was picked up by businessmen who did work in the back seat or slept while I drove), but some of my friends did.

Never step into the car of a stranger.


What does that have to do with the 6 people killed at a restaurant and car dealership??




Story about someone shooting 8 and killing 6, and we have two pages.

I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that the women he murdered were passengers that he unsuccessfully tried to put the moves on.

Nor would I be surprised if his browsing history includes those misogynistic PUA sites.
