Can't the media gather the facts before reporting? its pathetic on their part
Jeez what an incredibly selfish response to this wd done feller - why not write to 'Points of View' ffs? So, off the top of my head, this is the 4th terrorist attack directly linked to Trump, his supporters or what he says - nutter in van in Florida, the coastguard with multiple bombs, lists of targets etc (that was hardly reported) the attack on the local paper and this and that isn't even including just plain old racist mass shootings such as at the synagogue a few months back or any of the other almost daily mass shootings that take place. What a record for a president to have. |

By:
Yep Trump has hate filled rally nearby and a few days later hey presto you have a white right wing nutter killing people.
|
|
By:
a lot of these types of people actually dislike Trump because he isn't racist enough
|
|
By:
aaronh..He empowers them doesn't he?
|
|
By:
He and others are responsible for an environment that emboldens them, yes

YOU have to love CNN with the questions they ask
Talking to the Mayor of El Paso anchor asked him Could you describe to our audience what people would be doing on a Saturday morning at Walmart????  and they wonder why their ratings are tanking |
|
By:
better they are asking dumb questions like that than their disgraceful behaviour earlier in the week

Where were the good guys with guns?

why does the media never cover what happens in some cities most weekends?
9 killed and 39 wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago last weekend no full on media coverage https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2019/07/29/weekend-shootings-gun-violence-4/ Also this headline from last weekend when 12 people get shot and America shrugs https://www.thetrace.org/2019/08/brownsville-brooklyn-shooting/ this is another article about mass shootings detailing mass shootings this year which happen around the country that do not get the attention they deserve.(15 so far) it is so sad how many children get up in this crisis across the Count https://abcnews.go.com/US/deadly-mass-shootings-month-2019/story?id=63449799 |
|
By:
Looks like the media did cover it
|
|
By:
Because in America mass shootings are normal so you can't cover everyone globally, therefore only the bigger mass shootings receive international coverage.
|
|
By:
The 2nd shooting last night probably would have got no coverage if it hadn't come up on the back of the 1st shooting.
|
|
By:
The local station may cover them but this gun crisis needs national coverage every week and maybe just maybe something might get done
but i will not hold my breath Why people need to have military style weapons is beyond me |
|
By:
n88uk you make a good point there
|
|
By:
It's not a gun issue, just a mental health issue, that's why we won't be putting any more money towards mental health and our first action in power was to make it easier for people with mental health issues to buy guns.
|
|
By:
Has any info been given out on the Ohio shooter??????
|
|
By:
really so if you have more guns available the more chance is that people will use them
|
|
By:
Lol I am taking the piss out of the American mentality, not being serious
 . |
|
By:
America has more guns than any other country in the world by far , and that done by studies which takes into account per population etc
|
|
By:
ok i see your point nelie
|
|
By:
a lot of it is to do with money and the NRA spend about 3 milion dollars on the benefits of having a gun
|
|
By:
The spend money and support any politician who is against curbing gun laws
|
|
By:
Washington Post say there are more guns than people in America
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/06/19/there-are-more-guns-than-people-in-the-united-states-according-to-a-new-study-of-global-firearm-ownership/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c258c06601a7 its one hell of a lot of guns if this study is accurate |
|
By:
The NRA give politicians grades with A to F that people can look up to see if they are NRA friendly
Nearly all the politicians with a good grade are Republicans |
|
By:
If children shot and killed in school does not affect gun law then shooting of shoppers won't.
All we heard last night was hate crime and mental health ,not a peep on guns. No sympathy with then at all. |
|
By:
Ever tried to have a rational discussion with an American regarding gun laws ?
|
|
By:
No sympathy with who, 626? The deceased, or Americans in general?
|
|
By:
Bravo to this brave American who tried to save as many kids as possible during the El Paso shooting

Very brave man...well done
No President yet has attempted to ban guns, they fear they will not be elected There is a very strong pro gun lobby in the USA It is very hard to get people to give up something they have grown used to |
|
By:
You need to change the culture of a nation, a very difficult task that takes generations to achieve.

I can't get sex either
 Still I am not young and don't have a gun, so people are safe with me On a more serious note, I do wonder if the changing role of women is increasing violence worldwide...too early to say for certain there many other issues to be considered. It would not justify this anyway. |
|
By:
it's not very difficult, Angoose. It's impossible
|
|
By:
If everyone in Texas is carries a gun will this really make them safer?
They used to do that and judging by the films I've seen there were a lot of fatalities, especially round high noon or when the Dalton gang rode into town. Will they have to check them at the saloon? |
|
By:
YesJust Checking
It was certainly the Wild West But most of the casualties were men, and both sides were armed, so I don't have a problem with that Being older, I remember we were brought up on the American Westerns. What is happening now is in no way comparable. It is the murder of unarmed civilians men, women and children It represents evil not fair play |

By:
Wyatt Earp was actually put on trial after the Gunfight at the OK Corrall
Earp, his brothers and Doc Holiday were cleared of just shooting the Clantons down in cold blood I am still not sure myself? Billy the Kid a favourite of mine, his boss was gunned down in cold play, the local corrupt Sherriff would take no action So Billy took it on himself There is no comparison to what is happening know. The mindless murder of large numbers of unarmed civilians |
|
By:
Wyatt Earp was a püssy; his brother Virgil was more of a man, but neither of them could match up to Wild Bill until his eyes went

i'm still waiting for a decent film to be made of Bass Reeves. Obviously Denzil (no not you) would be ideal in the role. Now he was a Marshall
|

By:
Gun crime in America and knife crime in UK.........
Can we please just get back to good old punch ups Much more fair imho Send your kids to Martial arts or boxing classes. |
