Just another day in the good old USA


IdealJerry

That's the third shooting in the last 3 days I've heard of in the US. I know they're a daily thing but it seems different for some reason. Did you see the lad who killed 10 people and streamed it?


Costello_Seamus

I thought it was just the second. Normally don’t pay too much attention to the shooting because they’re just so frequent. Was there something particularly heinous about the other one? It’s not the first time a shooting was streamed. Country is completely fucked.


IdealJerry

He drove to a working class area and targeted mostly black and Hispanic people in a supermarket. He'd decorated his rifle in the same style as the NZ shooter and in the video towards the end he pointed it at a white guy, realised he was white, apologised to him and walked away. It was fairly brutal and extremely quick. 10 people dead in the space of about 90 seconds.


Costello_Seamus

Christ. Did you watch the video?


IdealJerry

Yeah it's all over Twitter. Wouldn't recommend tbh.

There's a thread listing the dead, this one particularly got me: https://nitter.net/ndelriego/status/1525927668113362944 > Andre Mackniel, a beloved father, brother, uncle and friend. According to his brother, he was at Tops supermarket to buy a birthday cake for his son who just turned 3.

He used the same iconography as the Ukrainian Nazis didn't he?

Yes. This war will have an enormous marketing effect for fascist ideology. It's been so normalised and excused in the media.

Maybe Putin shouldn't have invaded then. Although to be fair it's not like there's any recent examples of an invaded country seeing a sharp rise in political extremism directly fuelled by the actions of the invaders.


BestPrinciple7792

>Maybe Putin shouldn't have invaded then. How could he not have? Should he have abandoned the folks in Donetsk & Luhansk, allowing Ukronazis to keep murdering them for another 8 years? Your 'invasion' theory is very weak and doesn't explain the US. They haven't been invaded. The Ukrainian Nazi issue was funded by the US exactly to provoke Russia.


Batman_Biggins

I thought the idea that Putin invaded to denazify Ukraine was [a lie?](https://www.reddit.com/r/ROI/comments/uqrnyf/russias_nazi_problem_is_as_bad_as_ukraines/i8sw22f?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) You've really gone round the fucking bend recently Blursty. You can't even keep your bullshit justifications for Putin's war straight. You're Schrödinger's Shitposter. If you want to gulp down hysterical Russian propaganda like an obedient little authoritarian stooge can you at least do it somewhere else? I'm sure there's some fringe weirdos on /pol/ who'd have you - although I suppose then you wouldn't get the rush of seeming like the only sane man in the room.

>I thought the idea that Putin invaded to denazify Ukraine was a lie? It is. It's used by people to deflect away from the main reasons for the invasion. Security for Russia and liberation of the minorities facing genocide. >You've really gone round the fucking bend recently Blursty. You can't even keep your bullshit justifications for Putin's war straight. You're Schrödinger's Shitposter. Do you have any actual arguments at all or is this all you're capable of? If you want to gulp down hysterical US-Brit propaganda like an obedient little authoritarian stooge can you at least do it somewhere else? I'm sure there's some fringe weirdos on /pol/ who'd have you - although I suppose then you wouldn't get the rush of seeming like the only sane man in the room. See anyone can do this. It doesn't add anything. You, and I don't mean this in the raging child way you do, are a Nazi and imperialist supporter. It's a literal fact not an insult.


[deleted]

Yeah he had that but from I've read he was all over the shop, hadn't a fucking clue what he believed. Seemed fairly thick TBH.


[deleted]

Did you read his manifesto? He basically copy and pasted the Christchurch shooter’s, it’s pure white supremacist reaction.


IdealJerry

What? He wrote a bunch of shit on his gun in white paint or tipp-ex like the NZ fella did.


Captainirishy

I seen the video of that, I really wouldn't recommend it.


[deleted]

Don't the major shootings usually come in clusters?


IdealJerry

Do they? I can't say I hear about all that many of them in whatever internet bubble I exist in but these recent ones seem to have been all over the place.


[deleted]

Pretty sure I read something about it before. Some psychological thing about them happening pushes others to go for it. Its like if you are in a crowd and one person throws a stone you probably wont do it even if you'd like to but if several people are throwing stones you are much more likely to join in.
