Mass Shooting in Allen Texas (Dallas suburb) [May 6, 2023]

Shooter is dead. Unknown number of deaths, informal estimates of at least six. Nine or more transported to hospitals.

America! Fuck Yeah!

Gov. Abbott (R) issues a statement where he, or someone on his staff, writes of “hearts” and “people” and “unspeakable tragedy” and stuff.

…CW warning: there are videos out for this one. Very disturbing. Be careful when scrolling.

God forbid the masses should actually see what it looks like! Why, they might demand action.

Then we’d lose our freedoms, duh.

Best to send thoughts and prayers, not actual thought and prayers- just type the words thoughts and prayers, and move on like it is in the past. A thing we will “Never Forget”. Maybe a slogan: Allen Strong. Yeah, we’ve got it covered.

When Republicans send ‘thoughts and prayers’, presumably they are both for the victims and the NRA. :nauseated_face:

Just the NRA. The dead and injured are the price we pay for freedom. The tree of liberty and the blood of innocents and all that. :nauseated_face:

Ribbons! Dammit. Gonna need some fucking ribbons. What color are we going with this time?

We need a gun rights poster to come along and tell us this isn’t what we think we’re seeing with our own eyes.

But…but…but…the shooter WAS stopped by a good guy with a gun! A cop, no less.

Note the last update of my article:

Eight people were killed in a shooting at an outlet mall near Dallas, and seven victims are being treated at trauma facilities, officials said Saturday night. The gunman, who authorities believe was acting alone, is also dead.

BREAKING: Sen. Ted Cruz (R) tweets a statement where he, or someone on his staff, writes of “shock” and “praying” and “tragedy” and stuff.

Right now, Abbott is praying that this guy is an illegal immigrant. Otherwise, he’ll step all over his messaging from last week’s mass slaying in Texas!

Didn’t you mean “roll all over his messaging”?

Couldn’t resist.

Eight killed, not counting the shooter.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of posts in this thread are very much off-topic for a breaking news thread. This is not a gun control debate thread, nor is it an anti-gun Pit-rant thread.

I realize that this is a hot-button topic for a lot of folks, but please follow breaking news rules in breaking news threads. Keep the gun politics and highly charged comments out of breaking news threads. There are plenty of other threads where you can make these types of comments and express these opinions.

Since there is only one on-topic response in this entire thread, this is far beyond saving. This is closed.
