Shooting in Boulder, CO Leaves 10 Dead, Including One Police Officer

[thebobmaster]

'Sad day for Boulder': Gunman kills 10 at Colorado supermarket, including police officer, in second US mass shooting in a week

The police officer who died was identified as Eric Talley, 51, an 11-year veteran who responded to the King Soopers during the shooting.

I find it very "interesting" that this man apparently killed ten people, including one police officer, and yet still gets away being apparently wounded and apprehended. Meanwhile, we get stories of African-Americans who reach for their wallet at the wrong time and get shot because the officer "feared for his life".

This is a tragedy, but beyond just the shooting, it really shows the double standards of how police officers seem to respond to certain situations.

ETA: Belatedly updating the title for accuracy

Oh only 6? That's better than what I read, I thought it was 10+ with some in critical condition.

I wonder if the police will say he was just having a bad day?

I've also read ten so far but it's always a little hectic the first day. You'd figure we'd have this down to a science by now with how often these happen! Ha haaaaa

Oh...I made myself sad

Unlikely. Based on certain factors there is likely to be little support from them because he killed a cop.

Just confirmed 10 dead.

Jesus Christ, it begins again...

I couldnt find any info about the race of the shooter. Maybe i missed it. Im assuming he was white and your mad the cops didnt shoot him dead on the spot for some reason.

He was white, from reports I've read. While I'm not mad that the cops didn't shoot him, I find it to be a bit of a double standard that someone who shot and killed 10 people (as of now), at least one of which is a cop, manages to be wounded and apprehended, when compared to, say, an African-American man getting shot after being stopped by a policeman for not having a light on his bike, then grabbing the officer's flashlight in an ensuing struggle.

He only killed ten people, it's not like he was selling loose cigarettes.

So we going to have the usual suspects pushing the "Clearly it was a white supremacist racially motivated attack" narrative in this thread too before any evidence comes out again?

Obviously not before we have you bringing in your "I'm just questioning the mainstream political-motivated media narrative because I'm not like you in the echo-chamber" narrative.
Please get over yourself, you're not a special iconoclastic rebel.

You do realize nobody has done the thing you’re mad about yet?

Thank you for that so enlightening post that helped move the topic so far forward and didn't just seem like the cynical shouting of a rather upset person from the sidelines./s

I read the thread title "8 People Killed In Atlanta Massage Parlor Shootings" thinking it was this story, and thought to myself "Oh, I thought it was 10 people?"

Before remembering that these are two different events.

America is nuts

Ummm, do you have literally ANY self-awareness?

 

[Silvanus]

I am, yet again, infinitely thankful that I live in a country where you can't just fucking buy guns because you'd like a gun.

Yes, I just shut down 5 pages of nonsense back and fourth from happening with 1 comment hopefully. So care to sit back down?

Maybe this time will be the time that really makes people realise the public shouldn't have easy access to implements designed exclusively to kill. Maybe? No? Okay then! We definitely shouldn't exploit this tragedy to bring in laws that would prevent this tragedy happening again.

Idiots.

Nah clearly this time it was:
(delete as appropriate)
Video games
TV
Film
Some Youtubers
Donald Trump
White supremacy
Toxic masculinity

to blame ./s

Everytime another shooting like this happens, I do think to myself "Well, thats it, this is the straw that will surely break the camel's back, and soon new gun laws will come into place, that will prevent this from happening again".

And then I remember that is exactly what I have been thinking to myself for pretty much every shooting since Sandy Hook.

Guess not.

Mass shootings are a price gun owners are prepared to pay for gun ownership. Or, to adapt another saying, "Sometimes the tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of massacre victims."

Never mind that as people like Marjorie Taylor Greene could tell us, these shootings are fake, false flag operations spun by the liberal media in cahoots with liberal gun control activists where the so-called "survivors" are just actors.
