Witness recounts harrowing scenes at Texas mall shooting

[@Mububban23]

This is EXACTLY the sort of graphic detail people need to hear. Too many people seem to imagine the deceased like a movie character with a neat little hole where the bullet goes in. The reality is splintered bones and severed limbs and faces being blown off. When you have to identify children by their clothes or shoes, that tells you about the severity of the injuries. And more people need to hear it.

On Twitter, you had pictures of these poor people...brain matter, faces blown off, etc. Just awful and nothing I wanted to see(couldn't sleep at all that night), but possibly needed for those that continue to go on about the 2A... there was also a video, but I'm glad I never saw it. It's just insanity, this state-sanctioned domestic terrorism.

[@seanyoung9014]

​@@SUGAR_XYLER Details? Little kids with their faces blown off and lots of brain matter everywhere. Looked like almost everyone was head or face shot. Most of them were caught right outside the mall trying to hide behind a planter and were executed. I don't know why you thought you needed to hear that but there you go.

This is so unforgiveable. I left the US after six years working in an inner-city ER.

How was America founded? Peacefully?

[@Dan-xx5jq]

I had appealed to the parents of the Sandy Hook shooting to release the photos of that massacre of their children, so the American public could see first hand what an AK15 does to the human body. All those poor children that were slaughtered. Some of them piled up together next to the adult in the middle, the teacher, who tried to protect them as they all ran to her...at least that detail was leaked. I know how difficult it would be for these parents to do this, but I do believe the country will finally wake up!! The parents could see this as something good coming out of all the bad, and that the loss of all their children's lives was not in vain. Incidentally from Info Wars, many in the Republican Party believed it never happened because they never saw any pictures. They believed it to be a false flag to take away their guns........ It is the only way to stop this carnage!! Right now it is so sensitized that we see absolutely nothing when this happens in the US. I even get forget about them and tend to get many of the shootings mixed up! Most people died in the Las Vegas shooting but very few people remember that one. (Yet, when Kenya suffered a terrorist attack where a terrorist (of one particular religion, KZbin will censor the comment if I say the name but you all which religion I am referring to) used an AK15 style weapon and shot all the people in the mall, the US did not have any problem in showing all the bloody ghastly scenes which I still see in my head right now. I vividly remember the video of the dinning room, of people either hunched over in their chairs or had fallen back, all of who were shot when they stopped for a coffee break with a snack. I still see their coffee cups and feel of the dead eerie silence of all the countless bodies still in their chairs and a few on the ground surrounded by pools of blood. The Africans were outraged, and rightly so, the racist US is so careful not to broadcast those same images here in the US, but has no problem showing dead Africans slumped over in their chairs and the pools of blood. I do also recall one body on the ground as it appeared that he didn't die immediately but had tried to crawl to a place to hid but didn't make it. So the hypocrisy is disgusting! ) The British refer to America as the place where all nuts carry guns!

Once had a guy argue online that ‘ I sounded stupid when I said assault weapon. There’s no such thing as an assault weapon’ he was a proud gun owner and owned multiple guns, was teaching his 10 year old how to be a responsible gun owner blah blah blah. He said he had a 9mm handgun and AR-15 and that both would kill. I agreed but offered that one was more efficient and effective at killing and if he didn’t believe me he should go to office max and buy 4 standard reams of paper. Then, get his son to help by placing those 4 reams to his temple with the barrel of each gun flush against the paper then pull the trigger. One would give him a head ache, the other would send him to the morgue. No one needs an AR-15 for hunting or self defense. An AR-15 is designed to kill people . Efficiently. Effectively. Period. End of argument. No one needs a 30, 40, 50, 100 round magazine to hunt or for self-defense. AR-15’s are for cosplaytriots who spent 4 years in the military and miss how big their penis was while enlisted. Or for cosplaytriots who had bone-spurs and never got to have a big penis.

Handgun wounds are bad. Rifle wounds are infinitely worse. People can die from bullets in one of two ways: when organs are directly hit as bullets pass through the body or through the cavitation effect. The cavitation effect from a handgun is typically not very severe. With rifles, the cavitation injuries can be very severe. Exit wounds from rifle bullets can reach the size of an orange.

another way is death by bleeding.

Anyone who shoots off their guns over 100s or 1000s of times leads them to visualize the effects from their bullet on a human being as a sight they enjoy off their own ill advised mind. Even half the cops have this need of actual target being a human being of shooting from their guns. I've met a lot of cops WHO NEVER HAD TO SHOOT OFF THEIR GUNS as a priority of their jobs and proud of not having to shoot off their weapons. Target range areas is like a gym of the punching bag being hit to release their stress or anger or just a fun thing to do. I've owned a gun for decades only going to shooting range once 30 years ago knowing it's best not to make habit of enjoying the privilege of 2nd amendment as it's stored away for many years now as it's an example of many others like myself of not being one of those gung ho fanatics that surrounds their personality around their guns.

@@jhdgtyhaja You can stretch the line of that stance as far as you want, and that defines much of the problem. This is because the premise on which it is based actually has no basis in actual logic, and distances us from the victims (if not dehumanizes) with the ol' "They asked for it!" stance; thereby eliminating all empathy or sympathy. Ask yourself if they really "asked for it" any more than anyone else. Did they value their lives and love their families so much less than you or I? “They asked for it!” is identical to the argument made by those on the pro-gun side. If you’re anti-gun, you’re making the same argument as a pro-gun person. At least that’s how I see it. Both sides are blaming the state of someone’s stance on how to deal with violence with their being a victim of violence. It’s all ridiculous. We have a societal issue that is raising its ugly head in locations that vote on both sides of the aisle. I think it’s much more fruitful to talk about that.
