How many more people have to die before guns are limited or ammo restrictions in the U S A

Death penalty haters need to look at this as a chance to think again and maybe agree that it is the only sentence worthy of such a cold blooded killer.

Hmm, tricky one. A couple of million?

magnumpi

I think you are right, more even, the right to bear arms is so strong there they probably ban churches, cinimas and other gatherings before they even look at a ban or restrictions on guns

Novocastrian

Oh, that explains the fashion for short sleeved shirts.

Oops yup

So is this a terrorist attack, CNN are calling it so and I must agree I think.

But put what your saying in perspective...

In the US the parties that support freedom to bare arms are the same people supporting the death penalty

Most of the gun control lobby is also anti death penalty

Republican v's Democrat

I would rather see the Russian hard labour camps than the deathly penalty, at least if you get it wrong you can make amends

BristolUK

All of them, probably.

Yeah I was about to say around 300million

The guy who did this insane act confessed today and said he wanted to start a race war.

MikeUK

And if you've been to some of those southern states, he's not alone,
and he'd even have sympathisers and support within law enforcement and maybe even within the state guard

magnumpi

Agreed, not sure how he was going to start a race war, I thought there was one already ongoing in the US

Pizzawheel

Poor old Obama has thrown the towel in.

And it's noticeable that the republicans criticising him for politicising the event again (I think Obama is pretty in tune with the ongoing horror the rest of the civilised world feels) choose the opportunity to bang on the fundy drum.

Where's that thread on moving to the states again?

CHARLESTON, S.C. — South Carolina’s governor urged prosecutors Friday to seek the death penalty for the suspected gunman

Suspected ? Huh, very odd how he was taken alive and now safe in police hands, If he had run from a car, resisted arrest or even if he was a black guy I am sure he be dead already.

I saw a post about this on FB- that Mike Brown took drugs/ had previous, etc and this kids was "shy softly spoken boy" basically implying that its racist coverage.

Thing is those were direct quotes, and you could extend this to "shy, softly spoken buy who murdered nine defenseless people".

The woman who spotted the suspects' car was running a little late for work, and she now reckons it was 'divine intervention' that she was late so she could spot the car, she even telephoned a church friend about it BEFORE calling the police, in fact she never called the police, it was the friend.
