One of the big issues here is that the people your side keeps voting for have historically, overwhelmingly and continuously voted no for improving mental health and social services which would help prevent these attacks.
Where do you get your information from? Enlighten us with the source of real knowledge!
I generally just believe the opposite of w/e the TV is saying is true. Served me well so far tbh
Do you or anyone remember the kid who shot himself in the face with his friend in a suicide pact and then lived?he shot his grandmother in the face, so she cant even talk
did i ever tell you about the guy i had to xray who shot himself in the face and lived? they had to reconstruct his face - it was a fucked up sight to see - they had to make him new eye holes and everything
and then the guy who threw himself in front of a train and lived - there was a piece of skin holding his arm still on his body, and i had to make sure i didn't rip that skin or they had to fill out a whole bunch of new paperwork
and then ya got my kid over here, who turns pale just from the site of a drop of blood
I was so happy to leave Houston last year. Minor shootouts between ghetto folks like that happen just about daily there. If they didn’t have guns they’d be stabbing each other with whatever sharp objects they could find, trust me. Politicians don’t seem to care about addressing poverty though so, oh well…A gas-station shootout in Houston took an unexpected turn after a woman trying to flee the scene hit and killed a man who was allegedly trying to rob someone else, according to local police.
On Thursday afternoon, a man approached someone at a Chevron gas station who was selling hair extensions and tried to rob him, according to news station KTRK. The man selling extensions grabbed his gun and a shootout started.
"The suspect ran through the parking lot. There was a female that was in her car, and I believe she had a child in the car," Houston Police Department Lieutenant Larry Crowson told KTRK. "She was extremely scared. She accelerated at a high rate of speed to get out of the parking lot and avoid the shootout. She struck the suspect, and he's under the car here behind me."
The suspect died at the scene.
It is a damned shame. Really, cities have always been cesspools and a source of social angst, but God I literally feel uneasy as hell when in downtown Houston the last few years. I used to enjoy going to concerts or bars or museums in the cultural district but it's pretty much right next door to their equivalent of skid row now. And it really is about the haves and the have-nots, I mean... You've literally got mansions with electric fences erected right next to straight up run down hood houses. It's been bad like that in Houston for a while but the gentrification coupled with the neglect of the working man has created a really, really, really angsty city there.
I wish there was a way to quantify the lives saved by guns….I wonder what that would look like agains lives lost (not including suicide)This story destroys all the BS that people have been saying:
I doubt it would be too significant. There are rare instances where citizens do stop mass killers but they’re certainly less common. A lot of people don’t every day carry for that matter. I didn’t until I had a revolver I felt was finally small and light enough to easily conceal, I ain’t tryna show I have a weapon anywhere.
