Springville school offers grief counseling after student shot - Fox 13

Car dealership owner dies after being shot trying to reclaim loaner car in Arlington - FOX 4 News

20-year-old shot dead in broad daylight during motorcycle sale: cops - New York Post

Man shot in back during road rage incident in northwest Miami-Dade - Local 10 News

Unarmed 13-Year-Old Shot By Cops During Foot Chase On West Side - Block Club Chicago

EMT shot in an ambulance by a drunk patient with taped-together gun: NYPD - ABC7 New York

5/19 A 48-year-old Georgia man who admitted to opening fire at two Clayton County gas stations last summer because he doesn’t like “towel heads” or Black people (he used the N-word with police) has been indicted on federal hate crime charges.

5/19 A man shot and wounded a 21-year-old woman and her 8-month-old child during an altercation inside a crowded restaurant in south Fargo. The suspect later killed himself. He had a domestic violence felony in Minnesota and was a prohibited purchaser.

5/19 At least 21 mass shooters in the US have worn some kind of body armor; the majority within the last 10 years. And it’s what stopped an armed security guard in Buffalo from taking down the suspect who killed him. So why does @Facebook allow ads for body armor on its platform?

5/20 New American trend: Shootings at graduations. Tonight, four people were wounded in Louisiana by gunfire at high school graduation. Last night, one person died and one was injured by gunfire at high school graduation at Middle Tennessee State University. Also tonight, two people were wounded by gunfire at a graduation ceremony being held at East Kentwood High School in Michigan.

5/19 A new study from Johns Hopkins researchers finds that the estimated average rate of officer-involved shootings increased by 12.9% in 10 U.S. states that, between 2014 and 2020, relaxed restrictions on civilians carrying concealed firearms in public.

5/19 Two armed men in cars shot each other to death in a Kansas grocery store parking lot after one of the men “made a demeaning comment about the other man’s loud exhaust pipe.” This doesn’t happen in any peer nation ever.

I know that you are a Libertarian that leans Right and, not a rePuke...
But the rePukelican are always talking about all the shootings in Chicago by blacks...
They can post them here with other shootings and show their concerns for those families...
I appreciate your thoughts, but let us see what the rePukes do... Shit or Get Off The Pot...
They are all Talking Point regurgitators*... All Hat and No cattle... This is the best place for this Thread...

If you were a famous celebrity then you'd think more about your security not only because you've more assets to protect or that you can afford more bodyguards, but also because of the greater threat of stalker violence compared to the average individual. A high-profile person has to take into consideration that a morbidly obsessed fan might come from anywhere in the country and even from abroad. Publicly unknown individuals like ourselves don't have to fret too much about strangers that could be holding secret grudges against us. However we see from mass shootings and serial killers that it's possible to be the victim of a random attack where there's no clear motive. Most mundane people don't have too many enemies in their lives and so it might be tempting to think the worst that could happen is a violent escalation in an argument. The threat of random killings is even worse than this because the police don't know the suspects of many cold cases. If someone from Florida drove up to New York and arbitrarily shot one person only to drive back home and never commit another crime, then the case will likely remain unresolved without being added to the statistics on each crime category. Most people are lucky to avoid mass shooters, serial killers and those with raging vendattas. Nonetheless the threat of a random assassination of a single person is a murky area that concerns all ordinary people rather than just controversial politicians and TV stars. This is made worse with guns.
