At least 17 dead in Florida school shooting

[khansaheeb]

There are daily shootings in US towns and cities but the ones not involving school kids go unreported in national outlets. A lot of the shootings are mentioned in local news and given a cursory mention. Police always approach people with one hand on the gun. I was in a Walmart last week and a police vehicle stopped this car with Mexicans inside. They called backup with drawn out guns and once back up came they shouted at the driver to put hands on the wheel and all the others not to move. Told them clearly if they moved they would be shot. Fearing a shoot out I quickly drove off in case I became a friendly fire victim. The week before this,I visited a post office and shortly after a man was shot dead. Always on edge in the USA if their is an altercation or incident as they might pull out a gun. The police see this 24/7 so are always in a mode better you dead than me.

Surprising thing is in the US states where guns are carried openly there is little crime and where exchanges of fire do occur there are mostly injuries as the shooters are well practiced and accurate.

I guess you've never been to Detroit, Southside Chicago or Run down parts of LA.

Good. Cuz they're like dumpsters of humanity. Especially Detroit. Many such areas resemble any under developed African country.

They seem to have these "dumpsters of humanity" areas in every US city/state.

No one feels safe in US, with more guns than people, everyone can be a potential mass shooter.

Florida and Detroit are not even close
Florida was a queit state till the criminal elements showed up


Mikey Mouse is from Florida

Not really a good role model anymore

It's 99% Media fault



Media Now

Media Not long ago

Weapons used to be so limited in video games before compared to now

17 dead. Not sure if all 17 were students.

Shooter is in custody.

Shooter tried to blend in with students leaving school to try and get away that way.

I know the High School very well.
Parkland is a high end suburb in Broward county on the edge of Everglades.
Crime is almost non-existent.
