    It wasn’t as bad as some (2 dead, 6 injured).

    He originally started with a shotgun but it jammed without firing a shot. He grabbed a pistol from his vehicle and fired into the bystanders.

    Police were on scene quickly (FSU is always crawling with plain clothes officers and unmarked cars) and shot and wounded the shooter.

      Oh, what a fucked up world we live in that we see a school shooting as “not so bad, all things considered”…

          There is a really fucked up silver lining to this which is every nation not the USA can point to the USA whenever someone wants to loosen gun regulations. In a twisted way the US might be helping other nations by being such a “good” (bad) example.

          Politicians around the word: we need to ban guns and assault rifles.

          US policy makers: we need to tell the good guys they need to buy carry a gun.

            Plenty of countries have lots of guns. Virtually none of them have any significant number of mass terror shootings, even the ones with otherwise high rates of gun violence.

            America is built different.

              The rethoric of the people in power seems different, but I don"t know enough of other countries with lots of guns.

      If that happened in my country it would be huge news and all anyone in the country would talk about for weeks.

        It would appear that we have standardized school shootings here in the States.

        This one wasn’t that bad. Remember that other one?

        You going to catch The Game later?

      Local law enforcement was having a training session very close by. That and the fact the shooter was the son of a Sherrif deputy are the reasons you could hear them blowing themselves over their fast response the whole time. Not that the fucker was putting up all the red flags for fucking years while being heavily involved in local law enforcement and constantly around guns.

        There is a reason DeSantis & the fascists in the Florida legislature are about to get rid of the red flag laws.

        I’ve seen a full on homeless man, with dreadlocks and scruffy blanket (urban Ghillie suit) sitting outside of a Waffle House. The local clubs were letting out and there were gunshots in the parking lot.

        Dude stood up and radioed in shots fired and pulled an AR from the bag he was sitting on.

        Tons of unmarked cars around campus with lights mounted in the grill and illegally tinted windows.

        It’s a heavy security presence that you wouldn’t notice unless you were around it a lot.
