Do countries like Iceland and Switzerland have the same fetish for guns like a certain percentage of Americans do? Aren't those "evil socialist" countries anyways.

In the U.S. you got people whose whole manhood is tied to their firearms. Their guns mean everything to them.

America is accounted for 46% of the world total of people owning guns. That says a lot.

I think for Iceland more than 1/3 of the population own guns.

The NRA and obsession with guns in this country has roots in racism and genocide. White civilians in this country multiple times during its inception were encouraged to take up arms and murder human beings.

The "militias" they were talking about weren't referring to people fighting against tyranny. It was about encouraging murderous hordes of white people.

Not only pick ups but American flags. Every where. I'm trying to think of all of the countries I have visited in the past and none of them had their respective flag flying on their front porch.

Most, if not all of what is happening now can be traced back to history. First hand accounts, journals, and well researched books can generally explain why we have evolved the way we have.

I would certainly agree that America has an aggression aura around it because it was built around that principle. The original slave owners, I mean founding fathers didn't like the British so they went to war. Hey, we really like the land west of the Mississippi so we are going to take it. Mexico, seems kinda nice. Guess what we are going to take that too. American mindset has always been if you like something take it. It can either be done bureaucratically or taken with force.

Completely unnecessary to shoot him. Hope that cop is haunted by what he did for the rest of his life.

That's the issue. The root problem isn't guns. It's the US being an inherently violent culture. Guns just makes things more convenient. The culture is probably never going to change, since the leaders are hellbent on preserving the status quo which has led to said violence. So it would only be reasonable to at least try to be more aggressive when it comes to gun measures while addressing other causative social variables like racial and income inequality and mental health.

Spot on. It took me awhile to internalize this because I think everyone wants to believe things will change. But I’m at the point where I truly believe it’ll never happen. Violence is literally a feature of the culture of the majority here. Always has been and always will be.

Countries like Iceland and Switzerland also don't have the wealth inequality that we have in the United States.

Doesn't help that the people where who claim to be responsible gun owners act like police do in police related incidents, get defensive instead using common sense and support weeding out the terrible elements. I like guns, I will probably own multiple, i'm also sick of mass shootings and will support any sensible measure to reduce it. I'm not a fanatic or enthusiast though.

Also, if this was in NYC mad sirens and horns when the cops show up.
Thoughts?

 

[superblytrife]

So wait—that cop had been out of his car in the mix of things for a number of seconds? It was framed that he got straight outta the car and started shooting and had to make a split second decision. Ma’Khia was literally right next to him in a tussle before she rushed at the girl in pink. The **** was he waiting for to intervene?? Scary *** cops, man.

He saw the knife when she knocked the first girl down that’s why he told her get down, she then rushes over to the chick in the pink and draws back as if she was about to poke her.

Wait was that grown man out there tusslin with the little girls too?

Yes dad kicked her in the head.
That’s why I say 2 adults outside let them fight like it was nothing.

 

[moe200069]

for anyone who’s arguing that Nicholas Reardon had no other choice but to discharge his gun at Ma’Khia Bryant:



“shoot first” really just depends on the amount of melanin in the victim

Screw this country. May it burn completely down to the ground.

The cop is going to get off - is it warranted, clearly so, but I still believe the police needs a reform and training.

Apparently, it doesn’t look like that guy was the father.

She called the police on the way to the foster home stating that they were a group of girls following her home. She went inside to get the knife to fight off the girl.

I’m not sure if the mom was even there. Don’t think it was an incident of the parents letting them fight - don’t think how that went down. Just have to wait for more facts.

Doesn’t sound right but okay.

Just heard on the news - but just have to wait on all the facts. They’re saying the mom was at work when it happened, apparently. Also, it’s a Foster Home.

Yo this is wild. I have to read the bill to make sure that this accurate.

That foster mom needs to be stripped of her parenting duties if that’s how she handles things

 

[dreamer23]

yeah 2 systems failed that girl. Law enforcement and the foster system.

So many different stories at this point. If this is true as CNN, just sad.

Ma'Khia Bryant argued about housekeeping before fatal police shooting, foster parent says


Ma'Khia Bryant and two other young women argued over a messy house and unmade bed before a fight that ended with the fatal police shooting shooting of the Black teenager, the woman who cared for Ma'Khia in foster care said Thursday.
Angela Moore said two of her former foster children had come to her Columbus, Ohio, home Tuesday to celebrate her birthday when the young women and Ma'Khia bickered over housekeeping.

"It was over keeping the house clean," Moore said. "The older one told them to clean up the house because 'Mom doesn't like the house dirty,'" Moore recalled being told after she arrived home from work. "So that's how it all started."

Moore relayed for CNN the story she said she was told by one of the girls in the house at the time.

Moore said she received a frantic call from one of the former foster children, who is seen in police body camera footage wearing pink and recoiling as Ma'Khia lunges at her with a shimmering knife.

"Mom, get home. Where are you? They're going crazy," Moore said the young woman told her. "She said they shot Ma'Kiah and I said, 'Huh?' It was just crazy."
Moore said she started praying. Soon she started getting text messages from people saying, "I'm sorry." When she got home, a police officer told her Ma'Khia had died.
