No but CNN said that the theatre they attacked would be hosting "an American band from California" as if that might be the motive, because everything in America is about American gently caress YES AMERICA

I don't know much about this stuff. I guess I was wondering why a group would take hostages if not to negotiate. Unless they really do just want to kill everyone in there and have a high body count while maybe also wasting police time or creating a distraction. This is hosed up though. I don't do well with people doing evil acts. I'm going to go play video games and pretend this isn't happening. :ohdear:

EDIT: CNN referencing the potential motive of the band tonight being American lol

They probably took them hostage to draw it out. Active shooter events usually last minutes because the shooters run out of ammo or the police come to bear and it turns into a shoot-out. Taking hostages slows the police down and complicates the game because now the police are culpable for extra-casualties if they botch a rescue.

I think the main point is to prolong the situation, to keep it on the news. This isn't the 70s anymore, where hostage takers actually wanted something. Now they just want to kill people.

Rude, imo.

Actually, if you look statistics, the world as a whole is getting less violent. This current crisis is a tragedy and the people doing this are clearly hosed up beyond reason, but at least violence on the whole isn't as common an occurrence.

Bit early to start assuming who did it, also because someone calls you a subhuman oval office does not make it legal to kill them. Or acceptable.
