THOUSAND OAKS, CA—In the hours following a violent rampage in California in which a lone attacker killed 12 individuals, including a police officer, and seriously injured at least 12 others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Thursday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said Kansas resident Carrie Grant, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what they really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

Exactly. They’re always pushing this respect the military thing, yet I can see struggling vets homeless any day. “Respect the flag”, fabric you can get for $10 yet you can’t make sure these veterans come home, re-adjust and live stable lives. Man please

It’s actually simpler than that. The general public will look at the first thing they see and never look back to read the actual story. “Looked Muslim” is what they first saw and will be the only thing they remember/see

Forget comparing the US to similar countries: I've stayed in "developing" countries that Americans look down on, and while there are are issues there that don't exist here, at least I never felt in danger of being shot and murdered for no reason. The worst that could ever happen in those places is getting pickpocketed or getting your bag stolen. Over here though???
The only reason I'm still here is because my dad needs ongoing treatment/monitoring and he only trusts the doctor he's been with for the past 2 years. Seriously do not feel safe in this country

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.—Ian David Long, the suspected gunman in a mass shooting here, rose to the rank of corporal during his time in the Marines and his specialty was machine-gunner, according to military records.
Law-enforcement officials identified Mr. Long on Thursday as the suspect in the killing of 12 people at a country music bar late Wednesday. Mr. Long also died at the scene, after apparently shooting himself, according to Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean.

Apparently there were people in that Thousand Oaks bar that were survivors of the Las Vegas shooting massacre.
