What's up with Denver and all these shooting sprees?
I'm not talking the "there's been 6000000 mass shootings" hysteria that the media puts out and lumps in gang banger triple homicides as a "mass shooting". I'm talking about legit psychos just going on a rampage because fuck it. Just reading about this shooting in Lakewood. Says the dude went to at least 3 different places. Obviously and thankfully he was very inaccurate but still, why does the Denver metro area attract a seemingly above average amount of psychos?
People are going crazy for sure. Literally every day I check the news and there is a story about some kind of shooting in Aurora. My Wife's cousin's husband is a detective in Denver and he said is scary right now how much homicides are up.
Gee, would have guessed that forcibly isolating people, flooding the streets with firearms and cutting social services while billionaires gain more wealth than at any point in history would lead to higher crime rates.

Because of weed. Ever since it was legalized it has gone downhill

You forgot about forcing people to take dangerous injections that don't work.
Even Brandon has given up on stopping the virus and told states they were on their own. Only a couple weeks ago he was dehumanizing unvaccinated Americans and trying to blame all of societies problems on them.

Yo the virus is bullshit and the vaccine is a SCAM!!! Israel is already giving out a fourth and fifth vaccine…just follow the money… it’s nothing but typical bullshit big pharma dogshit….greed greed AND MORE FUCKING GREED!!!!

Not crime. My city hit 200 homicides this year but we haven't had anything even remotely close to this; again gang mass shootings aren't in this category for motive. Also live in a state with very generous firearm laws, but a lot of our crime is also with illegally obtained firearms so don't pull that "there's too many guns card". 100% mental health but the question is why is Denver so popular for someone going around shooting randoms with guns? I know they're in the suicide belt but you don't see this shit happening in the other neighboring states at this prevalence.
Shits gotten so bad to the point my parents won’t let me go downtown at night, I used to be able to take the light rail from 3 zones away at 14 and now they sketched out about me going down there at all
Just wanted to add that in an unrelated video of that girl who got shot by cops at the Burlington coat factory in Hollywood, listening to the 911 operators was infuriating how long they took to even dispatch officers to scene. The first video the lady said the address and we need police right at the beginning. The operator proceeded to take nearly 3 minutes to dispatch officers after the initial address was given; that was the first call. Do the math. You're the fastest response time so to skierman or anyone who is against ccw to save your own life from something like this, good luck cowering under a desk with a stapler and pencil as your only defense for the next 5-15min while cops show up. The point of saying that is the whole argument of "more guns aren't the answer" is flawed. I'm not even gonna go into the fact of how little the majority of cops train with their firearms.
Cuz they're parents who love their kid and could never live with themselves if you didn't come back... maybe?

huge mental health issues paired with the large number of guns available to the normal American
I actually remember in the wake of parkland conservatives of all people were talking about how it's the effect of extreme mental derangement and liberals wouldn't buy it and kept edging at the "ban all guns and it'll go away" point. I think it could also be excessive cannabis use + mental health issues + hard drug use + a lot of other shit.
Abomber22Cuz they're parents who love their kid and could never live with themselves if you didn't come back... maybe?
Nah I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, I just clarified with what I used to be able to do to show the severity of how bad it’s gotten. I’d prob do the same thing if I was a parent
Something to be said about the fact that this is generally a USA phenomenon.
The rate of shootings, the flood of weapons ( I think the# of guns surpasses our population)
Lived San Pedro Sula, dangerous as fuck with plenty of deaths and crime but basically never a mass shoot up a mall
The second amendment wasn't written with ARs and 30 round clips in mind

America has a gun problem that can't be solved with banning guns. Same thing with banning abortion, nothing good will come from it.
I really hate the whole mindset some of the left holds today with "banning anything we think is bad so the problem disappears". Shits usually more detrimental than good.

No offense dude but you’ve never lived in Denver so you can’t really be saying shit about what causes our problems in the city

Please, you do not want to apply this crappy logic to the rest of the Constitution.
Abomber22Expound please.
It just seems to be the rallying cry for many.
To say the rights expressed in the Constitution only apply to the technology that exisited at time of writing would severely limit those rights as we exercise them today. Big example would be in speach. Broadcasting in any form had not exisited yet let alome this little thing called the internet that has become the main form of piblic communication. Do we really want to say that freedom of speach does not apply to these forms?
What does that even mean, cause you got covid? That's now how vaccines work, you probably were much less ill than you would've been otherwise, you should be thankful.

The world has only gotten more depressing with the virus crap, so when folks get depressed, many seek , or parents seek help from "doctors" who then prescribe psychotropic drugs. These big pharma drugs make folks go nuts, and then kill people.
I'll just drop the mic here.

Acting like the world's problems are because of covid is such a fucking cop out dude, we had these same issues 2 years ago smh

Non related but I just want to mention that my walmart barely raised their minimum, replaced all the check-out lanes with self-checkouts, and still got markedly more expensive.
Everyone told me that raising the minimum would make my groceries uber expensive. They didn't raise it to 15$ and dropped employees....and my groceries got super expensive anyways.
Also people are fucking braindead and it is always way more congested because they can't figure out how to check themselves out efficiently

I'm saying it depression, and subsequent use of psychotropic drugs. Shit been going on way before virus. It's just worse with it.
Maybe read, again, what I posted.

Why do people still shop at Walmart? I guess I get it if its the only show in town but otherwise why? Everyone knows they're a lousy company and its not like their stores are actually nice to be in.
To save a dime.
Volume buying results in lower prices.
Not right, not fair, but few are boycotting Wallies to shop at Mom and pops

Still a cop out imo, everyone wants to blame covid for everything and it's just bullshit.

Cuz it's genuinely the only place to get a lot of random shit in my massive town of 7000.
Pretty sure a high school debate team would tear tf outta that

Medical records for these drugs are not public information. It's between patient and doctor only. Whatever you posted was probably from big pharma. Go figure.

Evan, I'm not blaming the virus. I did say it has made the situation worse.
People have become more depressed during this time.
r00kieJust applying your interpretation methods across the whole thing.
He meant that you think the first amendment is applicable to the internet, the internet is extremely censored and mostly for good reasons, freedom to say anything is relative, the amount of misinformation that is spread online even with censorship is fucking insane, it's worth suppressing just like it's worth cutting down on gun rights too.
I agree that the 2nd amendment is out of date but there are so many thick skulled rednecks that we won't see change for quite some time.

No.
Freedom of information act, a lot of foot work, and it was published by scholars for scholars
Not everything is a setup, some peeps actually research this.

Yea, okay, but I don't believe it. This stuff was not happening so much, many years ago. Why?
The drugs make folks go crazy.
Anyway, the answer or cure is seldom found in a pill with massive side effects such as suicidal thoughts etc.
"If you are wanting to kill yourself or others see your doctor right away!" What a joke.
imagine how quickly psychos would get dropped if more law-abiding, mentally stable citizens carried weapons on them. carrying is extremely uncomfortable and a hassle. I don't just do it for me, but for the people sitting with me in the movie theatre, walking in the grocery store, or going to school. any of which could be you.
not saying thats the problem solver, but guns will never go away, banned or not. hard drugs are illegal (in most states, sigh,) and sure enough they are still all over the place and readily available. if guns are banned, and somebody wants one and enough, they will find a way to get one. I believe that its up to the sane, law-abiding citizens to counter fire with fire to check and balance criminals or psychos

Things were a lot better 2 years ago.
Even the ski towns we all like to travel to.
I know how much you love Vail and will defend them any chance you get but I heard today that Stowe only has 4 snowmakers on their staff. 4 for probably the best hill in the East.
5 year olds have to show their papers now (probably no big deal to you train them young right...)
Corona made everyone's problems worse.
Are you gaslighting us? If covid isn't a big deal and the virus isn't that bad and shouldn't be blamed for peoples problems why were you giving me shit earlier in the thread for spreading misinformation or just posting an opinion you don't agree with?

I won't sit here and act like covid hasn't changed things, but at this point to say your life is so much worse is just bullshit. The USA is basically back to normal, you just want to bitch and moan about a simple vaccine and blame everyone else for your problems that existed before covid, miss me with that bullshit dude.
And you do spread misinformation that is disparaging and out of pocket, you haven't been around ns at all until recently and all you do is spew bullshit about covid, get the fuck outa my notifications.
