What percentage of school shooters are not expecting to die already, even without the stupid sign?

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Most are but the idea is to get a large body count so they get as much media attention as possible. There are countless studies showing how the media has helped heavily drive these mass attacks.

I'd imagine these gross chuds would relish the thought of a dramatic shootout as a part of their killing spree.

I mean, they're expecting cops to arrive in with itchy trigger fingers anyway.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Most kill themselves the second that force shows up, they want soft targets and a body count...plus a wikipedia page. Suicide by cop or their own hand is what they want

It's not a media problem. It's a gun problem that seems to be very specific to one country.

There's also that lack of a social safety net, healthcare,etc...

It can be all of these

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Guns are out of the box, you're not solving shootings via confiscation anymore. And these mass shootings started to occur right around the time these 24/7 news media companies sprang up.

Safety nets and fixing our society will do *100 more than trying to get rid of 450+ million firearms.

Strange that all countries aren't just going off the rails with gun violence in schools huh? What's unique about the US??

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Considering all the countries you want to compare the US with have social safety nets and actually try and support their citizens...they usually also have less violence over all, but let's ignore that.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago

How far do you think they'll get in each scenario?

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I doubt it'll make much difference, as they'll just shoot the teachers first before they can react. It's not like the teachers are trained for tactical assault, and they won't risk their lives for a 30k salary.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world -4 points 10 months ago

Did you not read the picture at all? Jesus Christ dude. Just assume the whacko gets initiative will ya?

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

All potential shooters need for the sign to fail to dissuade is up make that assumption themselves.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

Yeah and then they get shot.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Why wouldn't he? Are all the teachers going to use their magical Spidey-senses to know that someone snuck into the school with a concealed gun? Ooo, I know! All their guns come with "bad guy" radar that makes a cute little ping sound whenever a bad guy comes in the building while they are distracted with all that teaching they have to do.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago

Yeah boy, show me how sneaky your gunshots are. Maybe you're one of those deaf people who don't understand that there's sound? It's a really loud sound.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

So you can sneak up to the first shot? You literally just answered your own question from earlier about the shooter having "initiative".

[-] Mango@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

Ok, now how many more shots do I get before a teacher comes to save everyone vs waiting for cops?

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

All of them. No teacher is risking their life for a shitty 30k per year job. Even the fully armed and trained police making 4x s much are apparently not willing to run in and save the kids. It's time to wake up from your fantasy world.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Looks like we just don't care about the kids then do we?

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think we both care about kids. One of us just cares about protecting guns more.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Yeah well I'm not doing it empty handed. I'd like to be at least as well armed as my opponent here in this country where we have the best equipment there is.
