Subject: Hey look! More shots fired.

Fashion Island mall - Newport Beach, CA

I saw a caravan of police cars rushing toward the beach. Now I know...

Can we stop shooting each other for like, five seconds?

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

So much crazy crap is happening. I bet if I fire one single round straight up in the air, it will probably hit someone in a hospital on the other side of the country.

I'd love to be able to go out in public without worrying about getting shot.

When do you suggest we talk about it? Clearly this isn't something that is going to work itself out. What better time then as it's happening?

Honestly I'm more worried about getting stabbed when I'm out in public.

You can.

Ironic how these shootings are happening in the places with the most stringent gun laws.

Ironic? Kinda. Mostly just a blaring alarm about how our gun policies are broken.

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."


Wanna stop them?

Here's where you start.

I would put the blame on our mental healthcare, or lack thereof. These shootings rarely occur in the places where everyone carries concealed. I just heard a news story where someone attempted a shooting in Alabama, but was quickly taken out by someone carrying concealed. I think we should focus on improving the mental and physical health of our country as a whole, rather than blaming an inanimate object for the deaths of a few people.
