Four dead and dozens hurt in Alabama mass shooting

Society as a feeding frenzy.

Same thing happens every weekend in downtown Mpls.
But 99.9% of the rest of the metro region doesn't experience the weekend violence. The violence is urban specific, and most involving a particular demographic. This is true in multiple cities.

Foreign posters seem to have this mentality, thanks to a biased media, that America is a daily shooting range and bullets are flying everywhere.
In fact, it's more likely you will be killed or injured by a careless driver.

Our revolving justice system caters to the rights of the accused more than the rights of victims. Many of these repeat offenders shouldn't be back out on the street.

Every day unauthorized persons are apprehended on our public streets across America with firearms

And then turned lose with little or no punishment unless they are involved in an actual shooting

Thats an insane policy

We need mandatory jail time with no exceptions for those criminals

I suggest 5 years, but it could be slightly less

Do that and watch the gun violence rate plummet

The gunfire extends the list of at least 403 mass shootings in the United States so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The archive, like CNN, defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter.

The US suffered more mass killings in 2019 than any year on record, according to researchers.

A database compiled by the Associated Press (AP), USA Today and Northeastern University recorded 41 incidents and a total of 211 deaths.

Mass killings are defined as four or more people being killed in the same incident, excluding the perpetrator.

Among the deadliest in 2019 were the killings of 12 people in Virginia Beach in May and 22 in El Paso in August.

Yes, mass killings is 4 or more deaths excluding the perpetrator(s)

Mass shootings is 4 or more injuries, including deaths, excluding the perpetrator(s)

And how many injuries/death incidents don't reach the 4 threshold per day in the US

At least four people have been killed and dozens injured in a mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, police say.

“Multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people” late on Satuday in the Five Points South area of the city, Birmingham police officer Truman Fitzgerald said.

Police found the bodies of two men and one woman at the scene and a fourth victim died of bullet wounds in hospital, he said.

Over 400 mass shootings this year

More like gang shooting.

Which is why we need to keep known dangerous people locked up instead of having a revolving door on prisons and jails. But, I do find it rather funny how democrats claim that crime is down and then go ahead and brag about there being 400 mass shootings this year. But, crime is down!

teen agers running around with glock switches and settlin' up yall don't understand . The sooner we get these guns away from homeowners the sooner these good kids can get back to helping little old ladies across the street.

LOL. Do you even listen to yourself? So, these kids who are a danger to society, if they didn't grab their parents AK47's out of house, would be helping little old ladies across the street instead? Really?

The the watcher post was tongue-in-cheek

He’s on your side

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is a new one.

"Multiple gunmen"?

Gang related?

Of course. This is a turf war between immigrant gangs.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

You ignore the mass insanity created by the modern liberal culture

Taking guns away from law-abiding citizens will do nothing to reduce the number of crazies in our society

It will just make honest people more vulnerable

This is a lie.

 

[Mac-7]

This is a lie.

Do you think its something in the water?

Of course our modern lib culture influences what people do

You’re a liar – liberals do not advocate for the ‘confiscation’ of guns.

This is the reprehensible right’s usual response to gun crime and violence: spread lies about guns being ‘banned’ and ‘confiscated.’

Constant problem area.
City tries to blame the bars, but the Gay '90 has been there for 40 years, and it sure as hell isn't them doing the shootings.
It's typical gangbangers who have been allowed to take over a once vibrant bar district with impunity with little consequence.
The police chief and even liberal Mayor Frye are at a war of words with the flakes of the city council. Including the issue of safety after a couple shootings at homeless encampments. The police of Mpls are extremely short staffed. No one wants the miserable job when being a rural officer is safer.

I reside 40 miles out and none of this happens...ever.

Bunch of shooting in my rural exurban area this morning though, and the only victims were Canadian Geese for the state hunting season.

Not true. 2019 broke all records for mass shootings.

Of course the goal is confiscation

Just as the left has done to our cousins in the UK

The idea is disarm honest citizens while letting criminals run wild

If these criminals have a rap sheet a mile long, then it is time to take them out back and turn them into worm food. They cant be "Corrected" so like with rabid animals, it is time to bury them.
