SHOTS FIRED - shootings and killings mega-thread

[guizonde]

well, there's my confirmation if there ever was one. i went full-niam... but, yeah. i'd watch it too. especially if it was in a sports arena.

And now there's been a shooting in a French Romani camp:

*GAH*! Everybody's shooting everybody, these days!

Yes, but three of the casualties are Roma, so nobody will care.

wrong. a good deal will care, and think:



(not endorsing it. just saying it because everybody hates the romani in france.)

re: death penalty. forget life in prison. go for bloodsport. with no chance of escape. publicize the lengthy tortures and executions as pay-per-view. make a profit off of scumbags. and make that profit go to the families of the victims.

shame and bodily harm are good motivators for trying to evade capture, but we live in an age where reality tv exists. go the whole 9 yards. besides, i'd love to see unreal tournament irl.

i went full-niam there, didn't i?

I was amusingly enough thinking the very same thing - let the serial killers and murderers fight each other, and amuse us. Dylan Roof vs. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

I'd watch every second of it.

That's more my speed. Forced cage-fighting!

I think we should ship them off to a secret NGO to test the affects of various supernatural anomalies.

Got any particular skips in mind? 

[niam2023]

Bermuda Triangle. I am curious to see what may happen to our crooks.

If nothing, ship them off elsewhere.

If something truly beyond the mundane occurs to them, film it. Film all of it.

...They entered the wrong house and the moment they saw someone (who was unarmed) they shot him. ...And his dog. ...And they also shot a fellow police officer by accident.

...And they blame society for this. Incidents like this would not happen if people weren't so horribly judgmental and unfairly blame the police for honest mistakes like this.

Perhaps the police in USA should stop using the Keystone cops and Punisher as their role models.

[Even Then]

I can't even be angry. I mean, I am, but mostly I just feel horror for the USA.

[ironbite]

I can feel anger and I do but it's a slow boil next to other nova like rages.

[Damen]

...got nothing.

[SCarpelan]

Perhaps the police in USA should stop using the Keystone cops and Punisher as their role models.

And perhaps they should be given a proper training. Giving someone authority over others and a gun with which to enforce it with only a half a year education is begging for trouble. They don't have a proper training to fall back to in a stressful situation and they are in practice learning their job from their colleagues spreading the poisonous culture. This is how I see it, anyway.

To put this in a perspective in the Nordic countries the police academy is a third degree school which means they are trained for four years (and need a high school or a trade school education to qualify in the first place).

The current model for cops is more or less "here, random psychopath from the street, have a badge! You were good enough at following orders in the academy, now get out and shoot people."

So long as they're either black or mentally ill.

Or latino or native... or just poor.
