Six-year-old Stephen Romero is the first of the dead to be identified by local media. His mother and grandmother were wounded. A 13-year-old girl and a man in his 20s were also killed.

At least 15 people were transported to hospital, according to officials from the four hospitals where victims were brought. At least 12 were treated for gunshot wounds, according to health officials.

You a big fan of garlic festivals?

[ovary]

garlic is pretty miraculous. stick a clove in the ground in october and in july dig up a head. can you imagine food without garlic? i think it deserves celebration as much as, perhaps even more so than, any other vegetable. certainly any other allium!

Big fan of taking thirty seconds to look things up, and of maybe not joking so consistently about innocent people getting murdered

[redbreegull]

it is weird that he literally only comes to this board to bump the people died in a shooting thread

[Fonzie]

You do understand the point of this whole thread, right?

Perhaps you could explain the point of this whole thread?

I live in a place where I don’t have to live with the fear of something like this ever happening. Conversely, I don’t live in a country where we feel we need to be armed in the case of the gummint goes rogue or whatever 18th century bullshit people hang their hat on.

Went back to the first page for some clarification...to gawk at death and misery from afar?

[duovamp]

Are we going to be serious in this thread or sarcastic? That should be made clear in every thread title.

[pavementtune]

I got some hilarious jokes about the Christchurch massacre, somehow you didn't bump this thread when your own country had a mass shooting, Fonzie. The one chance to say "fuck it" as insider, and you missed it!

Nope

[redbreegull]

at least he lives somewhere where he doesn't have to worry about this happening. remember, a mass shooting in new zealand is impossible

[Shallowed]

It should be more difficult now that our gun control laws have been strengthened.

[Mals Marola]

ok

[redbreegull]

I learned after the Christchurch shooting that NZ actually has a fairly robust gun culture

[Shallowed]

You as an American telling me that as a New Zealander isn't so much like the pot calling the kettle black, but like a completely rusted through pot calling a kettle fairly charred.

[vixnix]

I think our gun culture is probably similar to Canada’s, it’s mostly about hunting and pest control, but it does seem to be changing. Most of my husband’s family are farmers and I’m pretty sure most of them own guns. Certainly going back 20 years if you had a lame sheep or whatever you weren’t going to call a vet, you’d shoot it and toss it in the offal pit.

But I do think it’s changing. I’m not bothered by farmers having guns but I don’t think anyone in the suburbs should have one, there’s no reason for one, beyond the satisfaction that comes from an enjoyable hobby. Seeing the outcome of the gun amnesty, it’s encouraging that a fair few decent people are prepared to give up that hobby for the common good.

Of course, none of the people that the amnesty is hoping to disarm, will voluntarily give up their weapons. And it seems like our police force has no idea who these people are, despite having a tiny, stable, isolated population that it should be easy to monitor. So we have some significant problems ahead of us

This is so desperately sad.

How have we collectively allowed ourselves to get to this point

Two women who worked with a group called Mothers Against Senseless Killings were shot dead Friday in the South Side Chicago neighborhood where they volunteered to curb gun violence. Police say they don't believe the two young mothers were the intended targets.

[yo soy el mejor]

yeah they just said 'wrong place, wrong time' but those two mothers were in the right place and not at the wrong time. more victim blaming from useless cops. and chicago will continue to under-serve these communities.

[yo soy el mejor]

and guns will flow like water everywhere

[smashingjj]

'Mothers against senseless killings'

Well that's the only group i could imagine being against that

[yo soy el mejor]

[Ram27]

mothers against senseless killings: what kind of killing isn't senseless? i feel the answer should be really obvious, but i just can't think of it.

I think someone who kills in self defense is that obvious answer you couldn't find.
