Major law enforcement response after reports of shooting at a school in Texas

[Kutnupe14]

J.J. Watt to pay for the funerals of all 10 Santa Fe High School shooting victims, according to the senior director of communications for the Houston Texans.

That's a good guy move... though, I wish it had been kept private until well after the burials.

You guys still awake? I just got back from escape room Indy and it was fun as ****.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Fascinating, but maybe wrong thread?

Sigh.....

What we need here is some common sense media reform. I'm not talking about getting rid of the 1st amendment or freedom of speech, just some common sense media reforms to not encourage copycat shooters.

#1) A limit of ten (10) minutes of coverage per mass shooting per day per channel. This is just like limiting high capacity magazines. This is common sense. We don't need more coverage than this. You can report, but ya'll sure as heck better boil down some good info into the time you have.

#2) You can state the shooters name, because that is information the public may require. However, you cannot show how he/she lived, what their life or lifestyle was like. We don't need to know his/her lifestyle. That is irrelevant information to any but forensic psychologists and LE.

#3) If a media station wants to post the picture of the turd, then that must be one (1) picture only, and that supplied by the local LE in charge. We don't need every childhood photo, nor any variation in coverage. We're not saying you cannot post the pic, only which one you can.

#4) You may not post nor air any pictures or video of the dead bodies. This is entirely unnecessary for the public consumption. We don't need pictures to understand that something bad happened.

#5) You may not interview anyone that speculates upon why this occurred. Only LE that has taken a statement of fact by the alleged perpetrator may be published. We don't need to wildly speculate about what may or may not have happened.

#6) You may not interview grieving family members. We don't need to be told how bad they feel. We know they feel like their guts have been ripped out. This is unnecessary and irrelevant information.

I think that would be a fair start to putting the shoe on the other foot.

Yes indeed. I think we need to curb "assault media" coverage.

MSM can and will not shut their Pie holes. Have to be 1st. Have to be.

I wonder if he was part of that Open Carry Tarrant County group...

Actually, the P in CCCP stands for Republic. ... now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Heartfelt prayers for those affected by the actions of this disturbed individual.

I’m all for rational action to prevent these tragedies. I just wish we could do without the knee-jerk noise pushing an irrelevant agenda.

I should have used purple.....I was mocking the collusion narrative.
You are correct.In English the R is really for Republic, but my point remains. I should have used purple.


As for this POS shooter. I truly hope no one gets to "tell his story" The less attention the better.Like others have said, there's a reason they don't cover suicides, drunks on the baseball or football field, etc.
Also check out the psychological/ABA concept of "modeling" and "video modeling". They are teaching strategies, so media WTF?

Actually the most disgusting thing in all of the coverage and aftermath of these things is the interviewing of the kids right after the event. I am shocked (truly) that not one family has sued over having their minor child oh TV after such an event.
It could increase their trauma. (Or turn them into a smug, unlikable, mean spirited windbag)

Upon further review, does anyone else think he was a paid-plant? Edit: I'm back to not a plant. The video and still picture don't come close to matching, WTH?

This article from CBS News is confusing and so typical of the mass media. Oh what I'd give to have a real NEWS outlet. They picture a semi auto handgun, a knife and a flashlight...and in the article it says the only weapons used by the gun man were a .38 revolver and a shotgun.

 

[KellyinAvon]

The explosives part is where we've gotten lucky from Columbine until now. Boston Marathon and NY/NJ (in trash cans??) had them detonate, but the Tsarnaevs were trained terrorists. Going back further was the 96 Olympics (Eric Rudolph hid in the woods for years when Richard Jewell got smeared by the MSM.) Columbine, San Bernardino, Santa Fe all did not.

Making bombs obviously isn't as easy as it appears on the Internet. What happens when some evil ***hole who does know how to make explosives uses some kid from the Internet to do his work for him?

So is the guy who posted the above saying he agrees with the first 3 points? Obviously lots of INGO folks don't, so the logic being that if the first 3 didn't exist, and something like this happened those would be the first "reasonable restrictions" people would call for. It's a catch 22.

I didn’t read into it that he was endorsing any particular laws. He’s saying those laws didn’t stop the shooter from killing people, and that new laws wouldn’t do anything to stop the next shooter.

^^^^ Exactly ^^^^

Once again a kid taking weapons from the parents. Remember Adam Lanza killing his mother first, stealing her weapons and then shooting up the school in Newtown. It’s ridiculous. Again it’s not gun violence like the libtards in the media keep saying. The firearms did not jump into the hands of criminals. The criminals got the guns on their own, took the guns and fired the weapons. The weapons did not aim and fire themselves. An evil criminal wreaked havoc and devastation on innocent people. The weapons themselves did not do these evil acts. My brain hurts with the libtards and their stupidity. Finally, these shooters when caught should be immediately “put down” as in 6 feet under, down.

Damn. This was a hard read. I just went upstairs and kissed my sleeping kids on the head. Damn. Just... Damn. These kids are gonna need some professional help.

Howbout we focus on things like emotional abusers potentially putting guns in the hands of these young killers rather than pinning it on the NRA?

There are plenty of idiots that there are no need of plants.
