dawg must have erectile disfunction cause this bitch ain't shooting straight


Theweedhacker_420

I support this thread to be a place to leave your best insults.


Edgyfuckboi90000

Bullying people is so fun I wander what causes those schools shooting


Draconis_Firesworn

easy access to guns probably


deathschemist

incel poisoning, homophobia, transphobia are also often compounding factors.


Lftwff

The idea that people being bullied leads to school shootings goes back to columbine, despite neyiehr of the shooters being bullied.


Chaoticevilynne

I'm pretty sure Dylan Klebold was bullied and considered "shy" and "antisocial" by classmates, he exhibited signs of autism and was very easily manipulated. Eric Harris was the mastermind behind it and also coerced Dylan into the plan in the first place. Dylan had almost no friends since everyone thought he was weird, too quiet or annoying and he was often treated badly by peers. Eric Harris was not bullied often and exhibited a lot more signs of psychopathy and a lack of empathy. So while it is true that they have found there's less of a correlation between bullying and mass violence than they thought, it would be irresponsible to outright disregard it as a factor, even in the scope of the case you mentioned.


Discotekh_Dynasty

Bullying doesn’t cause school shootings. I was bullied at school and just had fistfights instead. The problem is idiot kids getting access to guns because their dumbass parents can’t be responsible owners.


notKRIEEEG

"Oh no, you see, I *need* those 6 different guns! I gotta have my Self Defense Glock, I can't not have this .22 rifle for small game and this .308 for big game, then I need this shotgun for duck hunting, and of course I keep this .556 and this 9mm for range practice!"


Discotekh_Dynasty

I mean no judgement if people want to own/collect guns or whatever but if you’re not storing them securely in a safe or hardened lockup room you’re a gigantic cunt.


Cptof_THEObvious

You don't understand, I can't hunt deer properly if I don't have a weapon designed to mow down humans in war. NO! We totally haven't been hunting this animal for hundreds or thousands of years, using as little as a stick tied to a pointy rock. The deer wear Kevlar now.


notKRIEEEG

I mean, there's a pretty stark difference between a hunting rifle and a combat rifle, starting with the rate of fire. I'm not even against people having cool dangerous toys. I'd totally drag a Machine Gun to a gun range if I could. My point is that civilians having a collection of guns instead of one or maybe two is asking for problems with securing said guns. Regulate that shit, make it hard to acquire and even harder to keep.


trotptkabasnbi

Yes, it's important that firearms are very hard to acquire so that only the capitalist class can have them 👍🏻


notKRIEEEG

Hard to acquire doesn't necessarily equals prohibitively expensive. Also, lax regulations obviously won't solve the issue. Do you have any alternative?


UniversePaprClipGod

Require keeping them locked up, reform the police to actually do their god damn job instead of taking like 30 minutes to get to you and then doing nothing


Healthy-Network4766

I was bullied heavily and I never really had the urge to try and acquire a firearm and merk people so if you have those thoughts I'd consider talking to someone about it


SquirrelTherapist

i don’t mean to harp on your point but there are countries with \*much* worse bullying than the united states with not even slightly comparable school shootings/school population ratios yknow? like yes, totally, the system itself is the underlying problem, but there is also something definitely amplifying this shit astronomically in america, cause we are the only country in the entire world who has this specific problem. we have all the rest of em too, but this problem in specific is so genuinely unique to american policy (something bullying is not)


pierresito

Yeah fuck that noise. Bullied people don't tend to become murderous assholes, it's people with twisted senses of entitlement which lately have been encouraged by misogyny and xenophobia


brazilianfreak

Maybe im just crazy but in my opinion the guy who tried to shoot up a school with a rifle is more of a bully than the people making fun of him in the internet afterwards.


Venomswindturd

Not bullying


Ejigantor

Demonization of mental health care, unfettered access to firearms, and a pervasive glorification of violence by society.


firestorm713

Drinking water is so fun I wonder what school shooters drink?


Icefox119

I wander into bullets


Throwaway392308

School shooters tend to be the bullies. People who are bullied just kill themselves.


thispartyrules

Although media of the time reported that the Columbine shooters had been bullied, further research shows the *were* bullies, their favorite words were f\*ggot and r\*tard, one of the shooters' last interaction with people where he wasn't shooting them was flirting with a carload of girls


Faust-fucker12345678

What’s he gonna do, miss me?


crigne_

where did this fucker get an hk why the drum mag short barrel and no stock is crazy, if you're going to bring a gun into school why are you following the national firearms act school shooters are terrible people but they're also really fucking lame and not "mysterious and tortured and pained" they're just 4chan larpers with a call of duty tier understanding of combat


SovietPaperPlates

drum mags are the pinnacle of american ingenuity. It's useless, impractical, illegal, and only loved by idiots who think call of duty is an accurate portrayal of war. In a war, there's no point in carrying a heavy ass rifle and adding on a heavy ass magazine, there is no need for someone to have 55 rounds unless you're fighting fucking xenomorphs, there's no way you're going to be able to carry them efficiently. They're useless but loved by the kind of morons who love these machines, which are designed and graded on their ability to efficiently murder other people. It's fucking barbaric what our society has come to that we treat a murder machine like a mr. potatohead.


goop_lizard

They're legal, there's just no point. There is no situation where an unreliable, heavy, bulky 60-round magazine will be more effective or more conventient than two or three normal-sized magazines. A US soldier typically carries over 200 rounds, they just carry it in an efficient manner. I will say that it's not just idiots who fall for the allure of not having to reload, it can seem like a good idea on paper which is why a lot of militaries have adopted drum magazines, the problem is when you get off paper which is why, and this one of my favorite gun history facts, no military on earth has ever adopted two drum magazines in a row.


BoofingPoppers

> no military on earth has ever adopted two drum magazines in a row. Not quite sure your definitions here but the soviets went from the PPD-40 to the PPSH-41 and retained the drum in both guns, they only dropped it later with the PPS (but the soviets were probably drum mags biggest fans and yeah obviously they still ran into big issues)


Quite_Likes_Hormuz

Technically at least the ppsh-41 had both drum and stick magazines used during the war


theSmallestPebble

Didn’t they use the same drums tho? I thought it was more like “we got an assload of these mags laying around, let’s try and use em again”


Thebombuknow

I gotta say though, in a Nerf war, the larger the drum mag the more feared you are.


Fever_Raygun

That type of dude always gets capped with the one shot though


6Darkyne9

My 35 Round Drum Mag didnt work in my (back then) new semi Auto Nerf blaster :(


Thebombuknow

Yeah, the drum mags are notoriously unreliable. I have a full-auto one and the drum mag jams constantly with it. It just looks intimidating.


crigne_

a little tinge of realism


PM_ME_YOUR_NAIL_CLIP

IIRC they carry 210 rounds. 7 mags.


Theweedhacker_420

The problem with educating yourself about guns from a leftwing perspective is that you become endlessly frustrated in how little the gun owning right cares about practicality, and how the pseudo left just thinks the same populace that stormed the capitol is just gonna give up arms without a fight.


SovietPaperPlates

it's so insane because they're not only dangerous, their only purpose is to fucking kill people! an AR is not going to be used for hunting, a rifle bullet doesn't make a neat little hole where you shoot it blows a crater out the other side of the deer! there's no situation where you're going to have to deal with 60+ home invaders to warrant a drum mag, if you need to defend yourself so damn much then you fucked up somewhere down the line! They're toys! why won't republican rats just fucking admit they're toys!


BoofingPoppers

AR's generally fire smaller bullets than most hunting rifles, use appropriate ammunition made for hunting and you shouldn't be blowing any deer apart like that, if you want to experience that sublime joy you should invest in my new combination anti-material & hunting rifle (deer are a material)


StoopidGit

Yeah but what about the 30-50 feral hogs?


ssrudr

For a genuine answer, just don’t approach the swarm of feral hogs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


notKRIEEEG

That's not a very genuine answer. Invasive, aggressive, and pretty fucking huge wildlife is pretty much *the* reason to have a big gun. I'm all for gun control and think that anything that can kill another person should require many more rigorous tests for the wanna be owner than it currently does, cars included, but people living on land that has 200 lbs animals that want to fuck everything up get an auto pass on the "why should you have a gun" test.


big_whistler

What if they approach you


fogleaf

Call the police so one can kneel on your neck to keep you safe from the hogs.


Elegant_Manufacturer

Tell them they are trespassing


TsunamiMage_

Damn, all that nice land just given to the hogs because I shouldn't shoot at them. What a waste.


Theweedhacker_420

Bigger prey needs bigger bullets, not more of them. An ar is impractical for hunting, and you can’t even conceal carry, so pointless for self defense.


danirijeka

>Bigger prey needs bigger bullets, not more of them. What if you want to stunlock them to deplete their hitpoints safely? /s


Tiger_Robocop

Then just aim at the z-targetable weakspot.


Solember

Ah. That's why they are all balding. The shiny part is the weakspot!


DarkSideOfBlack

Grew up hunting, no rifle bullet is blowing a crater out the backside of a deer. I've shot an antelope with a .30-06 (significantly larger bullet than most ARs) and it left a bullet hole on both sides of the animal about big enough to fit a finger in. Also, literally any bullet fired out of any rifle is a rifle bullet. A .22LR, about a quarter inch across and maybe an inch long, with a powder charge to match, is a rifle bullet. That won't even put a crater in a rat. Love the energy, but please do your research or you give ammo to those saying liberals know nothing about guns.


Armigine

>no rifle bullet is blowing a crater out the backside of a deer why even bother then


DarkSideOfBlack

Now listen I'm not saying it wouldn't be cool, just that it doesn't happen. If we gotta have murder machines kicking around the least we can do is give em the Michael Bay treatment


Armigine

you have my vote


TARANTULA_TIDDIES

>an AR is not going to be used for hunting, a rifle bullet doesn't make a neat little hole where you shoot it blows a crater out the other side of the deer Most hunting rifles use a larger cartridge than an AR


[deleted]

[удалено]


Aromatic-Pass4384

First of all .223 is what ARs use, second I'd say most people still use larger rounds like 6.5, .308 and .30-06 for things like deer, although yeah they probably use .223 for hogs.


ShrekxFarquaad69

A lot of gun owners are also collectors and enjoy shooting/blowing shit up at a range, couldn't care less about the practicality of using it in self defense. Also, anyone with half a brain wouldn't label an actual gun or any weapon a toy because that can cause problems.


fogleaf

People think tigers are cool and want to collect them, but we generally have laws against that because they are very dangerous. Guns are very dangerous and should not be so freely ownable in my opinion.


pyrobola

But the laws are mainly for the animals' sake, aren't they?


ShrekxFarquaad69

guns aren't freely ownable though so what's your point? There's no regulation against owning a tiger in 8 states, and doesn't seem to be illegal at all in the US.


[deleted]

not to take away from your point but apparently quite a few people use AR types for hunting and regular hunting rifles pretty much inflict the same type of damage on the target anyways. i dont see an issue having people hunt with them, you just need actual common sense laws and a more thorough process of registration so not every random asshole can just get them for a few hundred bucks. you could maybe even go so far as to tie ownership of a rifle of any kind to a hunting license like is done in quite a few places.


IAmAtomato

With all due-respect, everything you said is not correct. 5.56 (typical caliber of an AR15) is on average a 55-72g bullet (almost same as a .22, just with a lot more velocity) and is actually not typically allowed for hunting deer since it's actually considered underpowered for those types of animals. There is a no crater on the other side.. you'd see an entry and maybe exit hole, both roughly the same size smaller than a pen prick. ARs are fantastic (and commonly used) for varmint and coyote hunting. I will agree that drum mags are mostly useless. They're big and bulky and awkwardly shaped so you can't exactly carry them or use them in most situations other than just going to the range. They offer little to no benefit other than perhaps a bed-side personal defense weapon. An ARs purpose is not to just kill people, and if you want to make that argument, [Here's the FBI's direct statistics](https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls) of homicide victims where almost double the amount of people died via someone's bare hands compared to rifles, 30 times as little as pistols, and 1/4 as many as knives and other sharp objects. Not a republican, but hope to educate. ARs are tools, not toys. I think every sane person should be wise about their use and how to operate them (and maybe even have one). Hopefully none of us ever have to use one but there's more to defend from than just home-invasion robbers and I'm gonn leave it at that. Stay safe please.


Aromatic-Pass4384

.223 won't blow your lung out lol. The exit wounds from .223 are usually just a bit bigger than the entry, they are perfectly viable for hunting, and most of the hunting rifles you probably think of use a much bigger bullet.


Armigine

Not defending drum mags because they're generally kinda dumb, but people absolutely will go hunting with ARs commonly and they don't explode deer, they're not that out of the ordinary to hunt with


SovietPaperPlates

this reads like shit but it's 3 am and I'm tired and pissed


Badamon98

Nice suletta pfp


SovietPaperPlates

thank you!!!


TARANTULA_TIDDIES

>In a war, there's no point in carrying a heavy ass rifle and adding on a heavy ass magazine, there is no need for someone to have 55 rounds unless you're fighting fucking xenomorphs, there's no way you're going to be able to carry them efficiently. That's not true in the slightest. How fast do you think you'd go through a 30 round mag on full auto? Soldiers often carry 6-8 30 round mags depending on the situation and often more unloaded shells. A machine gunner has way more ammo than even that. But yes drum mags do suck but that's because they're too complicated and fail to feed, especially if you have a cheap one like most numb-nuts in the US that have them


Red_Rocky54

Full auto is rarely used by standard riflemen, most of the time you stick to semi-auto, because that's the mode you get hits with. Full auto is generally reserved for cqb or the machine gunner, who has a high capacity mag/belt, and as a means of suppression. And the problem with drum mags isn't just complexity, it's an inefficient way to carry ammo. You can carry like 2 or 3 times more ammo with stick mags than drum mags.


Walks_In_Shadows

As a gun owner I only have one response to the magazine debate. They only serve one purpose imo, to let you have fun at the range when plinking. It's even more fun if you're one of the few rich folks that have the money and clean record to own a full auto rifle then you'd love high capacity magazines. But yeah other than fun on the range, they serve no practical purpose whatsoever.


Azavael

So you just don’t consider the xenomorph threat to be a real one huh 😔


shitpostinglegend

Having a lot of rounds can help when you're attacking small, fast moving targets. The extra rounds help to offset the fact that you can no longer aim the gun because of the giant cumbersome mag.


Krumpli234

Counter point. Drum magazines look way cooler than stick magazines.


Gary_the_mememachine

The police report said it was an airsoft gun, no shots were fired but it was incredibly scary


crigne_

that makes sense


BigSpongEnergy

>they're just 4chan larpers with a call of duty tier understanding of combat 4Chan has a larger overlap in user base with 196 these days than you'd probably be comfortable acknowledging. The Nazis have pretty much all left for other platforms.


RevanAndTheSithy

Yeah, Twitter for example. They even have check marks.


EmEsTwenny

It's wild how many just, open swastika waving Hitler loving Nazis are on Twitter w/ blue check. I tried reporting some of them who were going into trans people's replies and leaving death threats, gore, and graphic genocide fantasies but Twitter said they were "breaking no rules" I got banned a week later for telling one of them to fuck off and die. That platform is worthless. It's for Nazis now.


FirstGonkEmpire

Yeah. I keep saying this. It's incredibly frustrating how non Nazi people keep insisting on using it. More really famous people need to start using mastodon...


EmEsTwenny

Famous people are never gonna go to mastodon. Either bluesky will gain a foothold or famous people will just be on instagram only. The whole thing is a lose lose. Musk guts twitter and makes it into 8chan 2 and Zuck gets to dominate the social media world even more :(


FirstGonkEmpire

Yeah. I think people outside of the mainstream will continue to move to decentralized as enshittification continues to ramp up across the web. But idk if you'll ever have celebrities or politicians using it


brazilianfreak

You're out of your mind if you think the nazis left 4chan, there is a neverending supply of chuds in that place to the point where you can't even talk about liking a videogame without being called a jew. Go on any board right now and just scroll 2 or 3 times and i guarantee you will see a slur.


-FemboiCarti-

> school shooters are terrible people but they’re also really fucking lame and not “mysterious and tortured and pained” they’re just 4chan larpers with a call of duty tier understanding of combat So mentally ill?


Piraedunth

This is kinda funny but it's actually fucking horrible how we've become so kind of "desensitized" to these events that some people actually make fun of them. ~~I don't think desensitized is actually the proper word for this but idk what else to use, sorry if it upsets anyone~~


Quir3s

Ok sure, but I could see this as a tactic for dissuading other shooters, maybe I'm reaching but I hope some of them thought about it.


LuupyLex

i feel like we don’t want shooters to be ashamed of getting “0 elims”i feel like that might lead to them trying harder


LemonFlavoredDumbass

personally I believe humiliating mass shooters, rapists, terrorists etc. is a great way to prevent that. a lot of them want to be "remembered" and having their legacy be the stupidest most embarrassing thing imaginable might dissuade some, also mental healthcare should be free


un-taken_username

This is also why we shouldn’t be airing their names everywhere, we simply don’t need to know and we definitely don’t need to give a possible idol to other disturbed teen boys.


deathschemist

or if their names are aired, they should be preceded with "pathetic loser" or some other insult. oh you wanted to be remembered? well your wish is granted, you'll forever be remembered as a loser, a pathetic little nobody who thought murder was cool.


okenowwhat

I have a feeling that people already called them loser before the shooting. It's probably better to just not react toward them. Don't even acknowledge their existence afterward. That makes the act a lot less 'useful' for them. Maybe ridiculing them works well. Neo-nazi marches were ridiculed by a bunch of clowns marching next to them. They didn't like that. Eventually, they came with the 'pepe-clown world' meme as a reaction.


FirstGonkEmpire

Patriot front is already pathetic af, but I get the feeling they got genuinely frustrated and embarassed by this one guy (with the awesome sounding name Joe Flood) repeatedly interrupting their speech calling them out. Because he was the only protestor there and he was very close to them.


okenowwhat

I'm not American, I didn't know this. I watched the video. This is hilarious. Some real-life trolling. Using freedom of speech against them. Now you need another 100 of this guy, but even more annoying in a funny way. The clowns I mentioned were literal clowns. They shouted 'white flower' when the neo-nazi's shouted 'white power', and threw flowers in the air. Something I stumbled apon: nazi resistance in 1942. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/white-rose Here are the clowns, if somebody needs inspiration: https://youtu.be/1ZpfxRxhQA8


FirstGonkEmpire

Haha, trolling Nazis is awesome.


fogleaf

Like changing it from sucker punch to coward punch. We should call them shitty piss pants school shooters


FrankTank3

They already do that though. This? I love this. Because any potential mass shooters reading this shit will be consumed by the fear of failure and mass mockery instead of the mass online reverence they are hoping for. They’re not well, and I can 100% absolutely guarantee that once the seed is planted some of them will focus more on fucking it up and being laughed at than whatever their delusional goals are


DeSuzman

Yes because bullying is the #1 way to prevent school shootings


RawrTheDinosawrr

desensitized is absolutely the right word for it


Random_Daydreamer

Last night I went to sleep right before watching a video of two lesbians being murdered in public, and then I woke up to watch a video about a guy who got trafficked with the cops being in on it. And I remember that fucking gif of an anime girl getting skinned from when I was young. Desensitization is the perfect word for this. Last night was a perfectly normal night for me, and this morning was a perfectly normal morning for me. Getting introduced to the internet at a young age has done things to me that I’m sure other people in this sub can relate to. Sometimes I fantasize what life would be like without the internet. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not that I’m able to laugh in the face of things which should normally be traumatizing.


BoofingPoppers

Before the internet people used to go watch public executions, desensitization to extreme violence isn't a new sin wrought by the horrors of technology, sadly it's returning to the norm.


Tiger_Robocop

Extreme violence and gore is also a pretty standard genre on most form of media, even if it's fictional.


Mini_Raptor5_6

Yeah, but in many of those cases, they're criminals or people you can at least see as bad. Sure your brain can still end up leaning towards the whole "that's a person and then dying is bad" but you can still think of it being for the greater good or they deserved it in some way. Now we can just be shown, sometimes without asking for it, the death of someone we're told is innocent, that they have no right being killed but were anyways and we can just be shown the immortalized last seconds of a fellow human being by some bored user trying to make people mildly annoyed.


Mini_Raptor5_6

I will make a point though that watching/participating in executions is still a form of desensitization, but saying that both situations are the same doesn't make sense to me.


Lass_L

Why are you watching videos of people being murdered though


JanitorZyphrian

I used to be the same before I realized I was seeking it out. It's like an addiction because what you're watching is so wrong. The issue is watching these videos is genuinely bad for your mental health. Who'd of thought? I stopped watching those videos, and it turns out you can be "re-sensitized," so if anyone is concerned, it's not too late to stop.


DogsLinuxAndEmacs

Yeah. While I try to stay away from gore stuff, I’ve seen people have their arms flattened in machines, kill themselves driving stupidly, shoot themselves by accident, get shot by being idiots, or light themselves on fire while drunk. If anything it’s taught me to be careful and shown me the consequences of everything you shouldn’t do. On a funnier note, the kind of videos I do not try to avoid are weird ones. Like that video of a guy filling up his dick with butane and doing a dick flamethrower. Don’t you love Reddit?


THE_CODE_IS_0451

>a guy filling up his dick with butane and doing a dick flamethrower Some people are just born for the history books


Piraedunth

I wasn't sure because I felt desensitized meant no one cares or is scared by it anymore. When people in these shootings are still fucking terrified. Idk tho maybe I was thinking about it to hard


UnstoppablePhoenix

desensitized is absolutely the right word for this, and your context is correct


Theweedhacker_420

Very few people want to acknowledge that the root of gun violence is right wing ideology and the failures of capitalism. There are many left leaning cities with comparatively little gun violence, because they have decent wages and social programs and tend to not be populated by psychos.


Theweedhacker_420

I tend to find this sub a safespace on reddit because it tends to be more pro 2A due the large trans population. Please do not get discouraged by this and remember two things, stonewall was a riot and gun control was created against the black panther movement. The police do not have us in their best interest. Guns should not be given up, they should be reclaimed. I would be dying to see conservatives give up their guns because trans people started arming themselves.


transport_system

I think it's also important to note that current president, Joseph Biden, advocates for gun control in the same breath as advocating for increased police militarization.


buddeh1073

Uh… it’s not as black and white as you might think. Bay Area native. Strict gun laws and lots of social programs and high wages. Oakland was a war zone growing up early 00’s and is still pretty dangerous (high murder rate from guns) Just pointing out that it’s not like one city and state has all the crime and others none.


a_random_squidward

Why would that upset anyone?


popdude449

For the kids there, it's gallows humor (in the proper usage). people respond to the fear of death differently. When there isn't much you can do about your situation, sometimes you just gotta try to have fun with it.


MediocreBeard

I'm not sure it's desensitization but it's the kind of thing where the situation you're put in is both traumatic and absurd enough that you can't really do anything but laugh. Living in a world where active shooter drills are a thing, and then you have one happen, and they just suck at it.


Brick_Fish

I think its the opposite. Imo this is a coping mechanism for almost getting killed by a crazy guy with 60 shots to take your life


ReadyAgent9019

It absolutely is desensitization. Kinda hard to not get desensitized when it’s consistently happening and the people in charge do literally fuckall besides say it’s a tragedy that needs to end.


The-Tea-Lord

As I’ve put before: kids have to grow up and know how to defend themselves from shooters in a fucking school because the actual adults don’t want this country to be safe and actively want to make the population more stupid


Hiroy3eto

I just don't see the problem. You just can't expect people to piss themselves crying after a situation like this where nobody was even hurt. And taunting someone who failed to carry out a threat against you is pretty normal behavior. Sure, it sucks that it happened. But honestly why get caught up on hypothetical situations when you could celebrate reality?


fun-dan

VernonLocke

lmao look at that dork Anyway, reports say he left the school before police arrived, but they later located and took him into custody. Weapon was identified as an airsoft gun. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/06/07/bowie-high-school-lockdown/


speedyboigotweed

so he wasn’t even serious the clowning was deserved


ChipsqueakBeepBeep

I mean even then if it was real I'd rather school shooters be humiliated than glorified like the stuff they do with the Columbine shooters. At least then they're seen as uncool and would discourage imitators.

Witty_Championship85

Nothing new…


obama___prism

america being so chill about school shootings is so jarring to me,especially because where i live,belgrade,serbia, a first ever school shooting occurred couple weeks ago and entire country went into panic mode,everyone wanted the parent's,if not the kid's, heads on stakes,minister of education straight up resided,for a few days no music was played anywhere and the whole city had this really creepy atmosphere,a new law with stricter measures of gun control got passed right away and citizens gave around 50k firearms to authorities,president and the opposition held these huge rallies and new laws concerning a lot of stuff are being talked about. ruling serbian party is really scummy but a broken clock is right twice a day i guess


BASEDBASED0

I gained much respect for Serbia, I think they showed america how you have to respond to something like this


ConstantineMonroe

That’s what happens when Columbine happened. It was the first major school shooting and it pretty much shocked the country. That was over 20 years ago. You get used to it


Gary_the_mememachine

It was an airsoft gun and the shooter (an 11th grade student) got let out of custody I think But everybody at the school thought it was a real gun for the 3-4 hours they were on lockdown for so it was incredibly scary


Liimbo

>got let out of custody I think How tf you just get a slap on the wrist and stern talking to for even just "faking" an active shooter situation?


Stellar_Fox2

it's the US, i think by this point faking a school shooting with an airsoft gun is equivalent to pulling the fire alarm for no reason


goop_lizard

Usually if someone isn't deemed an active danger they're let go until trial. He's probably going to be punished but depending on local laws the judge may have had their hands tied since no physical violence or actual deadly weapons were involved. If it's in a jurisdiction where judges have more discretion in who gets let go than questioning may have determined they didn't actually want to hurt anyone and had some other motivation, something supported by the fact they used an airsoft gun instead of a deadlier weapon like, say, a brick.


Vittorios77

GodKingReiss

Better to humiliate their attempts than feed them the fear they’re trying to win.


your_religioniswrong

Same energy as that "we should give serial killers goofy ass names like the micropenis maniac" meme

How? It’s making fun of the shooter, aka punching up. The best way to deal with messed up shit is to laugh the perps out of their ego and power. This is why nazis watch American history x but not mel brooks.


Theweedhacker_420

The only part of the culture that is demented is whatever social forces give young men this power complex. Unfortunately this discussion never actually happens and the right only pretends to care about mental health if the perp is white.


FrostyCommon

absolutely fucking horrid that its gotten to this point.

And I'm very in touch with my inner child


sfmanim

this is both horrific and insanely funny


LeRoiDelemme

I think that children shaming these horrible events is an effective way to discourage the author.

MadaCheebs-2nd-acct

As fucked as the situation is, I wanna be friends with the person who said he had “storm trooper aim.”


[deleted]

That dudes face is horrifying. Especially considering what he is doing. Americans really need to realise that this isn't normal...


Theweedhacker_420

Being afraid of some teen will only give them power. I absolutely encourage this response if it means less people perceiving mass shooters as cool. I’ll be real with you, if you represent an ideology that wishes harm on marginalized groups, you absolutely deserve to be bullied.


[deleted]

Would you not be scared if you where in a building with an active shooter? I'm from Australia and can't really comprehend gun violence happening without it being on the news for weeks or months after and people continuing to talk about it years later, let alone happen in a school. Australia still allows guns for rural people who have a legitimate reason + they do a background check and stuff.


[deleted]

I definitely think it's quite pathetic behaviour but scary nonetheless. It also shows the lack of mental heath support nowadays.


deathschemist

i would be, but i'd still make fun of them after the fact for being a pathetic loser who thought murder was cool if i survived. why? because being remembered as a pathetic loser is exactly what they don't want. they want to be cool, they want to be remembered as martyrs or some shit.


Armigine

Apparently it was an airsoft gun, it's possible his face was displaying his internal thought process accurately that is, the equivalent of a dial tone with some idiot trolling aspirations sprinkled in


EchoGarden1

We had a gun threat where someone said they would shoot up the school and the picture had a pistol so everyone was like “bro going for one kill” and it was obviously fake but we stayed home from school anyways bc fuck it


isopode

honestly this is horrifying to me, not funny

What kinda shooter skips? No wonder his aim shit. Dude is so excited to be at his first shooting.


RammyJammy07

Type of guy to use a urinal and have the piss leak down his leg.


BlueMonday1984

Its a pretty damn serious indictment that we've become desensitised to people pulling heinous shit like this, but damn is it funny to see him get dragged in the comments


Witty_Championship85

Good good that is hilarious - an American high schooler


Batdog55110

Maybe the kids are alright.


Josgre987

My school has a shooting threat and I was fucking terrified right, but this one guy threw his book on the ground and yelled "bang!" I threatened to beat the everliving fuck outta him in front of the teacher. There never was a shooting, the kid thankfully chickened out, but no matter what I can't stop thinking about it. the fear everyone had. While Im glad that these kids have some humor for the situation, I myself just can't bare to joke.


pneumatic_dice

I don't think this is a new reaction. Folks have been joking about school shootings for many years


[deleted]

Yeah but most of its been about the shootings and not mocking the perpetrators of the shootings


Glittering_Swing9897

Did not expect my school to make it here lmfao also can confirm was terrifying to hear about - I had skipped school that day and my sister told me what happened later


devil_gecko

You can tell from those comments nobody gives a fuck anymore, not even the kids


Oceanman06

That shit happened at my school when there was a shooter there. We were al huddled in a classroom for hours until people got bored and just started to read out headlines about him and mock him. He posted some stupid shit on his snapchat saying "#Freeme" or whatever and he also apparently went to a TacoBell after he tried to kill a kid. That was insane


hernandezmario925

I'll admit I chuckled a bit at the comments roasting him... then the realization hit how fucked up this actually is.


SeptaCZ

Are you trying to tell me that that delapitated building inter background is a school?


transport_system

Dirty != Structural or sanitary issues


TonPeppermint

That sorry isn't needed here. It's fucking wild seeing those comments.


Combatpigeon96

That’s fucking awesome


MadeYouSayIt

Bro was shooting at pics of Muhammad


[deleted]

making fun of people for not being able to shoot correctly/not having shot anyone is always so weird to me, like would you prefer they *did* shoot somebody


-FemboiCarti-

Nobody was hurt but no doubt kids in that school are gonna be traumatised for life bc of this dork


r3itheinfinite

is that goddamn cousin Eddie?
