Quote:
A shooter on Tuesday injured multiple people at YouTube’s headquarters in San Bruno, California, according to police.

San Bruno police confirmed an “active shooter, but the shooting is now believed to be over. Police also confirmed at least one person — a woman whom they believe to be the shooter — was dead, and multiple people were injured.


On and on it goes.

I wonder what the motive was. Jilted lover, sacked employee or just psycho :smirk:

I can't see picture...
Trying a fix :)



Quote mine to see the fix.

Some reports say she shot her boyfriend and then shot herself. Though this doesn't say much for stricter control. California is one of the strictest states in the country. I'm sure this story will disappear quickly. There will be no national march or protesting. Sad indeed.

It's almost like people might think 17 children killed in a school shooting is more concerning then 1 boyfriend shot by an upset girlfriend. :question:

Tonight San Bruno police identified the shooter at YouTube's HQ as Nasim Aghdam, a 39-year-old woman from San Diego and said there is no evidence she knew the victims or that they were specifically targeted.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I can't wait for the news cycle tomorrow.

So mentally disturbed people killing others in gun free zones is only important if it kills multiple targets? Even more important if an AR-15 is used. :tard:

Apparently she was upset that her YouTube channel got demonetized. Don't worry there won't be much more news on this.

Fucking nut job...

And just like that, it's gone...

Non-white woman, with pistol shoots people in a gun free environment in a heavily regulated gun control state.

Nothing to be seen here when it doesn't fit the agenda.

Just goes to show how normal something like this has become in the US. If anything, this should tell you that the gun problem is much worse than you're thinking.

You're naive if you think the media isn't making more out of this because this is somehow "normal". There is nothing normal about this shooting. It doesn't fit the gun control movement's current agenda. That's why the story is gone and no one is talking about it.

I dunno, i would have thought this would last a little longer in the news cycle. The shooter was a chick, which is a novelty in and of itself, but she also had a foreign name and accent. Not to mention a bunch of YouTube videos to pick apart. :shrug:

Exactly...

Female mass shooter (rare)
Shooter's motive (rare/strange)
Place of shooting (rare/large popular corporation)

Nothing normal or everyday about this shooting. To make it worse for the agenda driven narrative it happened in California. I guess without an AR-15 it's not a news (agenda) worthy shooting.

Is your point that the attention for the recent school shooting is overdone?

My point is, the gun control movement has an agenda and shootings aren't important unless they meet a certain criteria. This bullshit story we keep hearing about preventing the loss of life is just a smoke screen to elicit sympathy. They don't care about gun deaths and they don't care about better regulating the distribution of firearms. I'd go as far as saying they don't even care about "gun control". They want to ban the AR-15 type rifles and that's it.

Why care/focus so much on a tool that is responsible for so little (1% of gun related deaths)? All this attention to something that has such an insignificant impact on mortality seems ridiculous. There's no proof that banning AR-15s is going to save any lives. Certainly not enough to justify penalizing millions of citizens. Banning the AR-15 only serves one true purpose and that's to remove the last substantial layer of resistance between the people and it's government.

They don't want all of the guns or even the guns that cause most deaths. They want the AR-15. :tard:

This is a weird thread to try make that point. Some lady failing at killing anybody but herself with a pistol vs some kid who mowed down 17 people with an AR-15.

Explain the rational behind the laser beam focus on such an insignificant target.

You might want to stop eating the tinfoil first.

I'm pretty sure them protesting kids are asking for stricter gun control in general, not just for AR-15's.

Besides, the whole "defend against oppressive governments" argument is such a terribly weak one. And you know it.

Nobody gives a shit about what those kids are asking for, not even the people funding their movement. They're being used to elicit sympathy and sway opinion. This is completely evident by the present agenda. As they aren't pressing for stricter regulations and better mental health programs. Sure those things have been mentioned. But there haven't been any emergency meetings by congress or local government to fast track that type legislation. They want bump-fire stocks and AR-15 style rifles and no other substantial reason besides "they look scary" is being given.

Nice dodge on the explanation. :rolleyes:

Well then there's nothing to worry your pretty little naive head about then. If they are no threat to the government, only cause 1% of gun deaths and .000093% of all deaths, every law abiding citizen who wants one should be able to have one.

Glad you agree...

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

This post right here, sums you up.

You literally have no idea what you're talking about. EVERYONE with a brain, knows that guns like an AR-15 have no fucking purpose in a civilized world. This isn't about overthrowing or fighting a tyrannical government, You mother fuckers want your toys.

Just admit you want your toys. People wouldn't give you so much shit. But you assholes continue to lie about shit like protecting your home.

I hate to break it to you man. But you'd be dead before you got your AR ready in a home invasion. You'd be asleep, And you'd wake up to Click, Clack, Blam. Why? Because by the time your stupid ass wakes up, grabs it, and actually aims, You're dead by anyone who realizes you may be armed. I'm also guessing you advertise your guns in one way or another.

You have no fuckin idea. None. Shit happens so fast the only thing you MIGHT be able to react with is a pistol. Period. That throws the AR out as home defense.

When you've been through a home invasion, a no knock raid or two, etc. Come talk to me old man. You live a sheltered hillbilly lifestyle and think you know shit. You have no idea. Your AR isnt a home defense weapon, Its a toy. Just admit that and move on when they ban your toy.

If I'm entirely wrong, and you arent using the home defense argument. What one are you using? Any reason you couldn't just have it locked up at a gun range and use it there only? Why does it need to be always accessible in your home?

Lots of ways to skin a cat. Just gotta actually care about people other than yourself and your toys.

He also ignored the fact that most people who are against AR-15s (And every other assault rifle or SMG thats been "de-pinned" and "easily" put back to full auto) dont say its because its scary. Everyone at some point talks about the EASE of getting one, Then murdering dozens of people so easily. Its a TOOL designed to KILL HUMANS. It wasnt designed to hunt fucking deer.

Hes just a moron. Who wants his toys to not get taken away.
I mean, I get why hes scared. If they mental health check him, hes fucked.

Dodge and weave, dodge and weave... Listen I understand you can't explain it without agreeing with me. It otherwise makes no sense.

BTW, there are plenty of Americans sitting on thousands of rounds of ammo.

Your childish rant speaks volumes about what you actually know (which isn't shit). Almost no one would choose an AR-15 for home or self defense. Most would choose a shot gun or compact 45. But you're welcome to come by my home any time and test out your home invasion theory, pussy.

Why aren't AR-15s killing more people if they are so dangerous? ONLY 1% OF GUN DEATHS. Eh, never mind.
