the weirder the story gets and the more that comes out, the closer I get to full Epstein crack/ping and thinking this was a deliberate operation which was set up with, if not the consent of, some amount of active control over the police response nothing about any of this makes sense and the weirdness here already outweighs the sum total of weirdness around every other mass casualty event in the US that had troubling threads to it. I mean, I guess unless you include 9/11 but lol. Tatsuta Age posted:im pretty sure this is the regular amount just more eyes on it, OP I disagree, I followed the media and conspiracy narratives around Aurora, Newtown and a bunch of other events pretty closely. I could tell you a few weird things about any of those events which are somewhat eyebrow raising, but, again, put all that poo poo in a pile, throw it on a scale, put the single Texas incident on the other side and I think Texas still looks substantially more hosed up.

Atrocious Joe posted:Media has also been putting out stories about different police forces doing their own thing on the scene. A Border Patrol agent says he got a bunch of different cops together to get their kids out of one of the wings of the school that presumably wasn't near the shooter. Another mother of a child in the school said she was handcuffed by federal marshals and that local police she knew took off the cuffs. yea so right here, just ignoring all the ifs and maybes -- there has never before been an event like this where parents were handcuffed. This is a whole new level of hosed up and I think there's something at least somewhat sinister behind it, and not just incompetence. I am not suggesting (or completely ruling out) that it was some kind of state sponsored thing, but what seems a lot more likely to me is some kind of catastrophic cop fuckup, and I think the most likely thing there is one or more kids were killed by cop bullets.

TeenageArchipelago posted:I saw someone on reddit say that first responders running into the WTC on 9/11 but cops refusing to run into a school to save children showed just how far the social contract has deteriorated, and I think that there's some truth to that, but also I feel like firefighters aren't nearly as big of cowards as cops are cops are trained to run into situations that are mostly not that dangerous but in their heads are always almost lethal, using gear they know can maim or kill anyone they encounter, with a goal of protecting capital and more or less ignoring people. these are all professional jobs with relatively light training and a $67k median income feels like one of these models is more likely to attract samaritans and the other is more likely to attract greedy fucks hungry for power maybe we need volunteer police forces which are generally unarmed. or, you know, no cops.

Also he had probably done dry runs or considered other venues for a hot run: (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/05/las-vegas-gunman-booked-other-rooms-stephen-paddock) So -- someone slowly losing it all and unravelling as a result? Or, someone who knows they are on a ticking clock to perform an op, who is just spending everything they have (including lots of money from "unknown sources") in the meantime? I have no idea, but the second one sounds like the plot to Looper a bit and also seems entirely believable to me. You hardly need compliancy of "the US government" to pull of something like this; you just need a few spooks or ex spooks with a pile of dark money and some weird loving agenda. I am pretty agnostic as to whether the Vegas shooting was an op of some kind that involved other people, or not, and I don't expect to ever know the answer to that. If I had lost a friend or family member in the shootings, the question would likely eat at me incessantly. Cabbages and Kings has issued a correction as of 14:32 on Jul 6, 2022 |

The second thing is that the gun store takes your ID, scans it, takes the form you filled out, and calls into an FBI database called NICS. If NICS flags you as persona non grata, they will not sell you a gun.

Groovelord Neato posted:What the gently caress would be the point of Las Vegas being an op? Wanted to ban bump stocks that badly? We let 20 first graders get murdered we aren't doing jack poo poo. The material effect of any one of these events is never significant and has no impact on policy that I can discern. The net impact of all of these events is a general contribution to destabilization of the republic, polarization along partisan lines, public anxiety which swells in predictable waves and can be manipulated through media, and shaking faith in institutions to protect us. If one is inclined to believe a certain set of theories that arise, more or less, out of the existence of MKULTRA and related programs and the likelihood that these programs continued long beyond where the declassified public records that can be found with FOIA start, then it's pretty easy to start inventing reasons that such acts could have happened as a result of either direct state action or groups of spooks trying to steer public anxiety. The flipside is that, based on 41 years of living here, many people are loving assholes and like 2/3 of that group seems to be armed to the loving teeth. So, what's more likely, the state secretly and covertly setting up some number of these events or explicitly allowing them to occur with foresight and knowledge -- or, the state simply being a place that's full of rear end in a top hat lunatics with guns, and periodically capitalizing on it when one of them decides to go shoot up some public space? I don't actually know but the second thing doesn't involve any real spoopyness and also seems like a thing that's prone to just happen with frequency as a nation full of armed idiots gets increasingly squeezed for material goods.

Complications posted:the supreme court just ruled that the right to bear arms can't be infringed in public places so none of those signs are constitutional now it's a lovely opinion that's going to make it harder for states to regulate guns, but this is a misrepresentation. It looks to me like they are telling NYS (and implicitly everywhere else), that "shall issue" permits are the law of the land. That is, this ruling does not prevent NYS from requiring permits to own or carry pistols. It does prevent NYS from saying "if you want to carry a gun you need to provide a good reason for why which is then approved by the state", and flips the onus around to "if the state wants to prevent you from carrying a gun, then the state must demonstrate a good reason why you are not entitled to do so". Yes, lovely, very very very loving far from saying "gun free zones in schools are now illegal". In fact, NYC is at least making noise about just designating the entire loving city as a gun-free zone (https://www.thecity.nyc/2022/6/23/23180506/could-all-new-york-city-designated-gun-free-zone) -- the current SCOTUS would obviously strike that down, but we'd find out what the new limits in the new normal are. Groovelord Neato posted:3 percent of American adults own half the guns. this is true, but also seems like mostly a thief magnet since even Paddock couldn't use more than 1-2 weapons at a time. Also, while a small number of people have a lot of the guns, if you have 3 neighbors, statistically 1-2 of them are armed  https://www.statista.com/statistics/249740/percentage-of-households-in-the-united-states-owning-a-firearm/ I think this is an underestimate because of the number of paranoiac gun owners who would immediately slam the phone down if some surveyor asked them about weapons. Dustcat posted:i don't understand why the cia would need to run ops to do mass shootings in america, we already have them This is where Occam tends to get me, but also the CIA etc have done some really gross poo poo and if there were 1-2 mass casualty events over the years that had the stink of the MIC on them somewhere it wouldn't meaningfully change my world view.

Groovelord Neato posted:Why did Adam Lanza murder 20 first graders. good question. Also why was there some dude in camo and black gear behind the school who was initially arrested and then let go and no information was ever released on who he was or why? It's certainly possible, perhaps likely, that it's a dumb coincidence of some kind but the initial reporting was along these lines: quote:A man with a gun who was spotted in the woods near the school on the day of the incident was an off-duty tactical squad police officer from another town, according to the source. That Newton Bee article has been scrubbed, so, all we have is wordpress poo poo saying it existed! I do remember at the time thinking "why the gently caress was there an off-duty tactical officer in gear behind the school before the shooting? That's kinda weird". Not any weirder than the fact that a couple people from the Boston Marathon bombing told the media that LEO was conducting a "bomb drill" the day of the event quote:"At the starting line this morning, they had bomb sniffing dogs and the bomb squad out there," he said. "They kept announcing to runners not to be alarmed, that they were running a training exercise." There's weird poo poo around most events if you start digging and losing your sense of incredulousness because the world is a weird, inexplicable place.

Benagain posted:"never trust cops," I tell myself as I rely on an anonymous but 'reliable' law enforcement source from a newspaper that nuked the article once they figured out it was probably complete horseshit.  Cabbages and Kings posted:There's weird poo poo around most events if you start digging and losing your sense of incredulousness because the world is a weird, inexplicable place.

I don't disagree with you, I do not believe these events were state sponsored, and to the extent coverups have been involved, I believe Columbine shows us the playbook for why that is: when law enforcement gets involved during/after a ton of people, especially kids, get killed, then every action they take will be called into question and cops constantly gently caress poo poo up or do dumb poo poo or say racist poo poo over the radio, and also are willing to commit crimes to cover up basically meaningless events like "said the n-word during a mass shooting" which, while lovely, is unlikely to have impacted the material outcome. However, just because these events are not (likely) some kind of operation, doesn't mean the media narratives around them are at all trustworthy or reliable. They are almost always cop-sympathetic etc, and even when they take a critical view, they do so gingerly and in a way that doesn't cause changes. I mean for fucks sake look at Uvalde which started this thread (or did it? too many shootings lately to say!) ikanreed posted:I swear to God I saw someone post "cspam doesn't do the false flag thing" recently. did you notice who made that particular post, this is relevant to interpreting its intent, I believe? guessing not, pretty good username/post combo there also whoever posted that deffo does not read of all of cspam because i know there's at least one thread which does not believe that Epstein killed himself

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:See you're not saying anything that's incorrect, but grouping every mass shooting together and refusing to see anything that contradicts that narrative is just as pigheaded as thinking every single one was conducted by "the CIA" IMO we still have no real clue if JFK got done by the mafia, the MIC, rogue MIC in conjuction with the mafia, or even (and, to me, most ridiculous) with LBJ's explicit approval to derail the investigations into LBJ which vanished the second Oswald or whoever took a shot. So, we have not much insight into the highest profile killing of the last century, meanwhile the intel agencies have done nothing but get spookier and more compartmentalized, and motherfuckers be thinking we'll ever get the full story on literally anything that has a substantial MIC fingerprint on it?  It would take a lot to make me think the MIC has much interest in something as low profile as Uvalde, and also that really looks like a bunch of dumb loving incompetent cops that didn't need some kind of support from above to make a horrible situation worse. On the other hand, that's what I've been coddled to believe by the information that's available. The body cam footage etc is still being blocked. I don't think this event was an "op" but I think what's happening now is absolutely a coverup of something. The general pettiness of cops makes me think it could be well, well short of "actually the cops set the shooter up with gear". Cabbages and Kings has issued a correction as of 16:38 on Jul 6, 2022 |

also, w/r/t Highland, the media seems to be doing the dumb bad loving thing of publishing human interest articles about the troubled shooter and his motivations and blasting his loving picture everywhere, despite organizations which study this suggesting a completely loving different handling:quote:Lankford also studied 24 mass shooters who openly admitted they wanted fame or contacted the media directly to get it.[7] Studies of mass shooters that are based on available documentation and interviews found that many had narcissistic personalities that crave fame and attention;[16] narcissistic personality disorder is often not considered a mental illness. This is hardly the only organization saying this and at this point I think there's enough hard data on how media narratives can spur on further violence, that when media chooses to engage in narratives which do just that, they are fuckin complicit.

Conspiracy is the cleanest of clean words, it just means "more than one person agreeing implicitly or explicitly to commit a crime or series of crimes", and that clearly happens all the time. I personally am pretty open to the existence of many conspiracies that involve up to 5-6 people, and am loving dismal on the idea you could pull off a massive conspiracy that required the cooperation of hundreds of people knowingly, unless they all suicided at the end or something.

They were doing aerospace work, and may have been lugging components to and from their car. They got a visit from a cop plus an FBI agent, who just told them that the report had been made and asked zero questions whatsoever about the reloading bench, ammo-in-process, and rack of semiautomatic rifles and pistols in clear view in the house, and there was no followup. I believe they simply do not actually care, and also think that bothering white people about their weapons might cause them career jeopardy of some kind. I don't think this person should have been seriously interrogated or anything; they had ID, a clear explanation for their work, etc. At the same time, if you are responding to a "suspicious person" call and see an assload of guns and don't even ask about that it feels to me like maybe you are not doing your job as thoroughly as you should be?

Frosted Flake posted:Mass Shootings: The Role of the Media in Promoting Generalized Imitation  This is interesting and also seems to want to hedge its bets, but the Conclusions section unedited is quote:A mass shooting is a complex and destructive act that occurs as a result of many factors. One factor that is relevant to the spread of mass shootings and other “contagious” behaviors is generalized imitation. In instances of mass shootings, the media appear largely responsible for providing the model to imitate. Although there are a variety of strategies that could function in tandem to alter the likelihood of a mass shooting, changing the way the media report mass shootings is one important step in preventing and reducing imitation of these acts. Furthermore, it is likely that media-prompted imitation extends beyond mass shootings. A media effect has been shown with suicide, is implied in mass shootings, and may play a role in other extreme events such as home-grown terrorism and racially motivated crimes. I don't think this fundamentally undermines my own premise, and if anything seems to be at least open to the possibility that changing media narratives would effect outcomes, but complicating this is both the difficulty of actually doing so, combined with the spread of social media which is harder or impossible to control (and does appear to have been a significant factor in Buffalo, Uvalde, Highland murder sprees). Der Meister posted:a country full of blood lust and despair surrounded by weapons, really don’t know how to fix this folks this sounds like one of those situations where at some point thermodynamics just kicks in and solves it?

People commit murder on small and large scale all the time for apolitical reasons. to commit a mass killing you need to be broken enough in the head to view causing as much death and pain as possible as both desirable, and as a physics problem with no morality attached, and smart enough to understand how frail humans actually are and that this is a pretty simple problem when viewed through this lens. That is it. That's the only requirement. You don't need any particular belief or diagnosis. once your brain is broken to that point, you're a menace to society, and the things that break people to that degree needn't be political, and even if they are actually arising from some material cause that has a political reality underlaying it, the brokebrained killer may not at all parse the connection between the politics and their material state, or, if they do, they may make completely wrong inferences and come to conclusions that are "political" but completely detached from reality.

Sometimes these are dark skinned people who say something innocuous and get extrajudicially killed for it, hence "never talk to cops". Sometimes people say absolutely dumb poo poo and just admit to felonies or planning violent acts / etc. It is less that I think the cops could/should have "done something", than that, if the police are summoned to a "suspicious person" and then that person is instantly shown to have a small armory, I think it's reasonable to ask what that's all about even though the only people who are going to say "oh that's for the revolution I am starting" are the dumbest of the dumb. Whether the events as they happened warranted a stop at all in this case, I am agnostic about. Didn't expect to derail this much; it was just an obvious case of cops completely ignoring a white guy's guns, and, further, does anyone think this story plays out the same way if friendo is a PoC? Obviously not, so, it's "white person invisible gun syndrome" which dovetails into the original post where I mentioned this, which is that yes, many people are "known to law enforcement" and that doesn't mean poo poo, either from the point of view of "that person is actually dangerous!", or, if the person is actually dangerous, "that person will be prevented from doing something awful, because they are known to the cops".

Well, I just found the gun law version of a "hotdogs are sandwiches" argument: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/17/us/politics/senate-guns-boyfriend-loophole.html quote:WASHINGTON — Among the sticking points standing in the way of a final deal on what could be the first significant bipartisan gun safety legislation in decades is an age-old question: How do you define a boyfriend? Since this is the US legal framework, I will assume the decision is "he counts as a boyfriend until he shoots you with a gun, at which point he becomes a deputized marshal with qualified immunity"

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:Rich people love to gently caress kids and cover it up for each other. Cops love allowing people to get shot up and then ordering grubhub for the killer, as long as he is white. And as long as the rich people keep buying the cops new tanks to watch shootings happen from and the cops keep protecting the rich people's pedophile dungeons, this will be true. none of this requires Eyes Wide Shut grade collaboration it just requires a justice dept that's reluctant to put effort or money into pursuing whatever the gently caress the elite do people (justifyably) get super worked up about child abuse but it's probably only like 10% of the elite that are actual pedophiles and abuse children specifically vs the 90% who aren't into kids but still like to treat the women (or men) they are "attracted" to like the brat Lannigan teen king in GoT treated prostitutes
