This time in Michigan

(CNN) Police have arrested Jason Brian Dalton in connection with three shooting incidents that killed six people and injured two more in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, prosecutor Jeff Getting said Sunday.

"This is just the most awful thing I can think of," Getting said at a press conference held to announce the arrest of Dalton, 45, and to reassure the community that there is no longer a threat.

"There was only one shooter," he said. "And that person is in custody."

A six hour rampage? Even the attacks in Paris didn't last that long. But I guess since this asshole is white you can't label him "radicalized" or even a "terrorist." I'm sure the media will regard the shooter as "mentally ill" thus paving the way for other white mentally ill people to go on their 6 hour rampages.

Racist!

With a population of 320 million people in the US - it's incredible there are so few psychotic murdering rampages.

"Nothing to see here, folks" should be the correct response to these occasional cullings by psychos on a rampage.

320 Million

people ....

Have another joint, Marla - and relax. Ain't nobody gonna cap yo skinny white ass any time soon, sister.

Exactly. It's all a storm in a teacup, Herbie, it'll blow over. We need to get the agenda back on the Muselman ASAP.

Do you have a UK Daily Mail article you can post?

An unanswered question, for me, is how safe is a country where only the criminals seem to have guns as a general rule?

Any rational human being would recognise that the poor in australia and america live some of the most priveledged lives of any humans ever born.

their self loathing is just part of a limiting belief mind frame.

if they owned up to the truth....I have been given a remarkable opportunity ....then they have to blame THEMSELVES for being a failure.

but the mind and the ego wants to protect itself.

So they tell themselves a story.

please help me.
i'm a victim of the system
rich people are keeping me down (not true)
i hate rich people, they all got rich by being scamsters or having a rich mummy or daddy (not true, most got there by hard work).

you see, its about the losers preserving their ego, by telling themselves an untrue story about how difficult life is, so that they dont have to face up to the challenges and can stay in their comfort zone .

Its human nature, very understandable, very misguided

Socialists will make Marla their Queen, all hail to Queen Marla, in a capitalist society they worship the guy with all the brains but in a socialist society they worship the one with the least. 

Socialism is like living in an ant colony, all Marla will be required to do is lay eggs, no big decisions will need to be made, in fact no thought will be required whatsoever and this will suit Queen Marla just fine.

Democratic Socialists of America


Democratic socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.

Democracy and socialism go hand in hand. All over the world, wherever the idea of democracy has taken root, the vision of socialism has taken root as well—everywhere but in the United States. Because of this, many false ideas about socialism have developed in the US.

Short version: The slackers in society get an equal share of the benefits effectively making the producers slaves of the system! Similar to welfare but with bigger checks.

Wrong again, hippie.

For one, if you're thinking Bernie Sanders "socialism" who bases his bullshit on the Denmark and Sweden models. What he fails to mention is that both of those countries have been for decade decades dismantling their established welfare states and imposing ever harsher austerity measures on the working class.

Sanders could care less about the growing opposition of the working class to inequality, war and repression. Neither does he care does about the growth of anti-capitalist sentiment among the masses. Instead, he is nothing more than a capitalists toolsack whose goal is to represent a response by the ruling class to these developments. Sanders has but one political function and that is to prevent the emergence of any independent political movement of the working class by channeling social discontent back behind the corrupt Democratic Party. Sanders is Pseudo-left politics and nothing more.

What you and that fat Texuun buffoon represent is war driven capitalist state where you blindly obey the orchestrated by the highest levels of government, the military-intelligence apparatus, the corporate-financial oligarchy and a corrupted right-wing media upon which you believe anything they tell you to believe.

You and that fat Texuun buffoon are toolsacks in the masses of working people throughout the world who embrace the reckless policies of the imperialist maniacs. Appears the "loser" is you.

Must be nice to have all those voices swimming inside your head.

Obama needs the same powers as John Howard had to remove guns from society.

Obama has always been a lame duck with the ridiculous American political system -

creating Presidents with so little power.

that's 11 times the number killed on 9/11.

33,000 =  90 people a day or 4 people every hour

Elliot Roger- with the wealthy father and expensive BMW couldn't get laid,another beta
Dylan Roof- anther beta loser
Aurora theatre- another beta loser
Uber- another beta loser

Relax ... It's mostly a Darwinian culling, Bobby.

The vast majority of this 33,000 would be human vermin in the drugs trade.

Criminals wasting criminals, or Korean shopkeepers blowing away Negroes trying to rob their tills.

It's just an annual culling that keeps the jails from overflowing with Negroes and Hispanics.

A much-appreciated sanitation service which reduces the chance of decent American citizens getting mugged in the streets and raped in their homes.

God Bless America.

Now be fair, Bobby. We've learnt that the vast majority of these killings are self-administered Mercy Killings.

The US condones judicial killings in several states, but it's illegal to set up a euthanasia clinic for the terminally ill or those with long term illnesses that reduce quality of life to not being worth the experience of waking up every day.

I've had several cats Mercy Killed over the years with the cooperation of the law and veterinary professionals.

Funny how most who use firearm suicides to promote their gun grabbing agenda are ok with assisted suicide, as long as no gun is used.

I reckon the powerful USA Pharmaceutical lobby is at work here demonising guns used for suicide, they would prefer people purchase their expensive drugs for suicide.
