At least 12 shot during Mother’s Day parade in New Orleans

[Azull]

Its nice to see that a city like New Orleans get closer and closer to normal (for them) again each year.

Wouldn't this belong in the gun violence thread?

[djzombie]

Why would we do that when we can create a new thread to sensationalize each and every instance of gun violence.

[kuronosan]

Someone did post it in the gun thread and was accosted by another poster because a topic already existed here.

DUBBLE STENDARDS

I made a new thread because it was about a shooting at a public event/space by multiple suspects which reeked of something more than a simple shooting. I didn't know we could only make new threads if bombs were involved.

edit: the number of injured has been upped to 19. No fatalities, several critical conditions.

This has nothing to do with TERRURIZM so it doesn't get a new thread! Also were any of the shooters brown?

[Builttolast]

And yet nothing will be done about gun control.

What a world.

It worked for us and I feel safe going outside knowing we've had no mass shootings since. The difference being we didn't have gun manufacturers buying our politicians so they pushed it through as unpopular as it was.

Guy drinking water doesn't give a FUCK

He shoulda thrown his water bottle at the person/people shooting.

[Jefe]

Dang, hopefully there won't be any fatalities. Kinda weird haven't heard much about this though. Ain't this terrorism btw? Perhaps because the perpetrators aren't extreme-radical-muslim-fundamentalists?

[archibaldcrane]

It's likely not terrorism. Terrorism is about intent.

[Kohan]

So what was this about then? I'm genuinely curious.

If people died, it would be a mass shooting. As it is, it's a shooting.

Psychotic breakdown? It's hard to say without a suspect in custody.

[archibaldcrane]

Probably some ghetto beef bullshit, honestly. Empty a clip at a guy who happens to be in a huge crowd of people.

It's New Orleans. They give no fucks.

Poor brother gets shot and white people tell him to lay on his stomach and start putting his hands behind his back.

Natural reaction by everyone. Shots fired, blame blacks, arrest the nearest black.

Black guy does look bored. That hipster probably was not strong enough to move that dude's arm, and the black guy got bored waiting to get arrested.

[Howie Roary]

never knew the term casualty did not refer to a fatality, when it says 12 casualties and 11 injured, what's the difference between injured and a casualty if they're both alive?

the injuries are not bullet-related?

[Jaybar]

Injuries are designated for non-combatants.

Is it just me or does that guy kind of look like Tracey Morgan?
