Active Shooter in Austin Texas

[Chrishaune]

If “God” didn’t reign divine wrath on this country for slavery & Jim Crow then me thinks we’re pretty much on our own

you would be wrong. Understand every word in those sentences. There's a time for everything.

God judges a nation and it usually mean the end of that nation.

If you don't want a gun don't buy one and let everyone else have theirs in peace. The UK has less gun cime but is filled with stabbings.

In other words, if criminals can't get a hold of guns, they'll find something else. Prisoners don't have access to guns and yet somehow it's extremely dangerous in prison because of the mindset of the population in there. It's tiring how after every situation that involves a shooting, we get some feigned outrage and sadness with a gun control pitch right after.

Chicago has strong gun control laws and yet gang memberes are shooting up each other like the wild wild west.

I'm sure you understand it's harder to mow down 15 people with a knife rather than an assault rifle?

OMG this was not an active shooter. The media has gone nuts every shooting or standoff is an active shooter now.

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

What the fukk kind of crime bulletin is this?
What the fukk is a walk in shooting?

Why can't they just name the hospital?

What the fukk does no look out mean?


I said this before, but it is going to get worse, think of all the pent up frustation from the past couple of months, plus people losing their jobs, health, family members, not getting their mental disorders treated etc.

Calm the fukk down, this is a propaganda campaign where every shooter has to be an active shooter now

Because Chicago borders multiple states with weak-ass gun laws. Strong gun laws don't mean anything when you can literally walk a few streets down and they have completely different rules.

Then why don’t those red states have all the gun violence then? You’re blaming other states laws for what happens in Chicago, which has strict gun laws?

And why is it just Chicago that has high murder/gun deaths? The rest of Illinois (which is mostly red) doesn’t have all these stories of gun violence. Does the entire state of Missouri have abnormally high gun violence or is it just St. Louis? All of these areas with high murder rates are run by Democrats, even through red states have the most guns.

So basically Democrats turn their cities into violent shytholes, then tell us that the only way to solve it is to take away guns from law-abiding citizens. FOH

Texas’ overall murder rate isn’t much higher than California, even though Texas has ALL the guns.

Switzerland has high gun ownership yet has one of the lowest murder rates in the world and hasn’t had a mass shooting since 2001. It’s a culture problem, not a gun problem.

It can be both of those things breh.

Austin shooting: Authorities arrest a former sheriff's detective after a shooting left 3 dead - CNN

Authorities arrest a former sheriff's detective wanted in Austin, Texas, shooting that left 3 dead
By Hollie Silverman and Alaa Elassar, CNN

Updated 1417 GMT (2217 HKT) April 19, 2021

(CNN)Authorities say they arrested a former sheriff's office detective suspected of killing three people in a shooting in Austin, Texas.

Stephen Broderick, 41, was arrested just after 7 a.m. CT (8 a.m. ET), according to Manor, Texas, Police Chief Ryan Phipps.
"He was walking down the side of 12300 Old Kimbro Road, which is not far off from US 290. Two callers called in a suspicious person meeting the description of Mr. Broderick. Our officers went out there and conducted a high risk stop on him," Phipps told CNN.
"He complied fully with the officers and was taken into custody and they did locate a pistol on his waistband."
Officers with the Manor Police Department responded along with the Travis County Sheriff's Office. Broderick was transported by the sheriff's office to the Travis County Jail facility, Phipps said.
Motive for shooting not known yet
Broderick's arrest came after Austin police, fire and EMS responded to the city's Great Hills Trail and Rain Creek Parkway area around 11:42 a.m. Sunday, where they found three people suffering gunshot wounds, according to officials.
The victims were pronounced dead at the scene, according to tweets from Austin-Travis County EMS. The shooting appears to be "a domestic situation that is isolated," Austin police said in a tweet.

In the age of active shooters, a new mantra has emerged: 'Run. Hide. Fight.'
The shooting was targeted and the three victims -- two women and one man -- knew Broderick, according to Austin Police Interim Chief Joseph Chacon. A child was involved but has been located and is safe, he added.
The motive in the shooting is currently unknown.
"Obviously this is a tragedy. We have people who have lost their lives out here," Chacon said during a Sunday news briefing.
Suspect is former Travis County Sheriff's Office detective
Broderick is a former Travis County Sheriff's Office detective who was charged with sexual assault of a child, Travis County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kristen Dark told CNN.
Dark said Broderick resigned from the department last year after he was arrested and charged in the child sexual assault case. He was arrested June 6, 2020 and released on bond the same month.
CNN has reached out to the Travis County prosecutor for more information and is working to obtain the affidavit in the case.
Correction: An earlier version of this story had the wrong date for Stephen Nicholas Broderick's arrest on charges of sexual assault of a child. It was June 6.

No it didn't. This happened over the weekend. It was called a "mass shooting", but was a domestic incident. We have a thread on it already that's like 18 pages.

Then why don’t those red states have all the gun violence then?

Gun deaths are far more common in the red states in the south and midwest than they are in the blue states on the west coast and northeast, as your own chart shows. Like I already said, by all other factors LA and NYC should have horrible gun deaths. They have crime, gangs, drugs, population density. They're definitely don't have a "nonviolent culture". Yet their gun deaths are a tiny fraction of the gun deaths in those cities in red states or adjacent to red states. Why?

No one said, "gun laws are the only factor for gun deaths". Obviously big cities will tend to have more gun deaths than rural areas, places with high poverty/gangs will tend to have more deaths than wealthier ones. But the fact that so many cities in low-gun areas defy the trend should tell you something.

Every study shows that homes with guns tend to have more gun deaths. That big cities with in areas with looser gun laws tend to have more gun deaths. That states with fewer guns tend to have more gun deaths. And that countries with fewer guns tend to have more gun deaths. You want to ignore all those obvious correlations and just focus on a couple exceptions, that sort of reasoning doesn't do shyt.

You’re blaming other states laws for what happens in Chicago, which has strict gun laws?

Because that's where they get the guns from.

What good are strict gun laws in a city when you can literally walk to an adjacent neighborhood with loose gun laws?

And why is it just Chicago that has high murder/gun deaths? The rest of Illinois (which is mostly red) doesn’t have all these stories of gun violence. Does the entire state of Missouri have abnormally high gun violence or is it just St. Louis? All of these areas with high murder rates are run by Democrats, even through red states have the most guns.

So basically Democrats turn their cities into violent shytholes, then tell us that the only way to solve it is to take away guns from law-abiding citizens. FOH

What have the Democrats done to turn their cities into "violent shytholes"? You sound like a fukking right-wing bigot now.

Texas’ overall murder rate isn’t much higher than California, even though Texas has ALL the guns.

You don't notice your own chart shows a HUGE correlation between red states and homicide rate? Of course there's other factors too, like the size of the cities, but you're ignoring that. You're trying to pick out exceptions while ignoring the obvious trend.

Switzerland has high gun ownership yet has one of the lowest murder rates in the world and hasn’t had a mass shooting since 2001. It’s a culture problem, not a gun problem.

"culture problem" You're sounding like a right-wing bigot again.

Switzerland has just a tiny fraction of the gun ownership of the USA and they have FAR stricter gun laws than the USA. Most weapons are just military-issued rifles to servicemen that they keep in a safe at home (separate from the ammo) and aren't even allowed to carry on the streets. And of course a rich-fukking country like Switzerland with huge norms for social conformity and no major urban poverty or gangs is going to have a low homicide rate, but they had the highest suicide rate in Europe until gun control brought about 20 years ago cut into it substantially.

In Switzerland you have to get an acquisition license if you want to buy a new handgun, the license is only good for 6 months and you can only use it to buy 1 handgun. The background checks for people pursuing licenses are more extensive than in most American states and local authorities keep a log of everyone who has purchased a gun. Concealed Carry licenses are also more difficult to acquire in Switzerland than in most US states - you have to take an extensive examination as well as prove that you are proficient with the gun and that you have a demonstrated need to carry one to protect against real danger, and they are not issued often. People are not allowed to open-carry their rifles like they do here and you must keep your gun unloaded at all times while transported it. You have to get a special permit to own a semiauto with a high capacity magazine, and part of the permit requires that you show you are part of a shooting club or a collector. And far more categories of weapons are banned in Switzerland than in the USA, even including tasers, brass knuckles, and throwing knives.

With all those regulations, currently there are only about 10 registered guns per 100 Swiss citizens, or about 10% of the US rate.

Switzerland has a stunningly high rate of gun ownership — here's why it doesn't have mass shootings

Good luck @Rhakim you're arguing with worthless pieces of shyt who don't give a fukk about anything but themselves.

Maybe people on the fence who have been manipulated by the various misinformation these cretins post like "London stabbings" or "Swiss culture" will have a learning moment.

But the people you're arguing with have made their position clear: they don't care about progress.
