amerikkka has so much gun violence that years of lead shit hardly rises above the background noise
Was reading there was a mass shooting back in August there in Kentucky, when you can't even keep up with the mass shooting news because it's like a fire hose.
I mean years of lead involved bombings, assassinations, and well funded terrorism.
Useless piece of shit country won’t even focus the violence towards companies and government organizations.
Amerikkkans really are just the absolute worst. Shooting innocent people just going about their business when there are many many others who are truly deserving
The acceptance of gun violence in Imperial America reminds me of how mob violence became normalized in the Russian Federation. That sort of activity would have been inconceivable in the Soviet Union, but then the counterrevolutionaries laid waste to the Eastern Bloc and organized crime suddenly looked like reasonable means of survival.
I was too little to understand the controversy surrounding the Columbine High massacre, but I later did some research on it and it was almost astounding how everybody went apeshit finding somebody to blame, to the point where the capitalist media got in touch with Marilyn Manson and Doom nerds to confirm that they have no itch to either commit or endorse atrocities. Now? It’s hard to imagine the Columbine High massacre making anywhere near the same impact that it made decades ago.
It's wild how people were so desperate to blame pop culture but didn't take their Nazi stuff more seriously
Ban bowling!
The beatles of american mass shootings 
Michael Moore made a whole ass movie about it. Now nobody cares.
The London Police Department has identified 32-year-old Joseph A. Couch as a person of interest who is considered “armed and dangerous.” He is described as a White man, roughly 5 foot, 10 inches, weighing about 154 pounds, police said.
The hot-couch guys have taken to violence.
White man
I am completely shocked by this. Totally inconceivable. Would descendants of slave owning settlers that killed millions of indigenous people really do that? Just go around killing random people?
He’s angry because JD Vance fucked his mom 
fuck.
so based on my read here somebody decided to take shots at passing motorists from the side of the interstate?
my partner drives for a living and knows where this is

First thing that popped into my head too. Deeply deranged country.

Whether bullets or plumbing every year in America is a year of lead.
When this happened in Phoenix a decade ago people drew targets on their windows. Deeply normal behavior.
I don't get it, pls explain
Basically the same thing happened in 2015 in Phoenix where someone was taking pot shots at cars for like two weeks on the I-10. While it was going on gun chuds drew targets and phrases daring the shooter to hit them on their car windows.
Aah. Eh, if you have no choice, a bit of dark humor can't harm I guess
Plus insurance payouts lol
I feel like the insurance company might withhold on the basis of you very clearly baiting the shooter.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
