[Rita_Poon]

Nah he was explicitly says it was a “a silencer”, this other dude says “it was echoed all round the street”,

Wait this dude says he was “outside” and “heard some shots rang off”.

I suppose it’s not confirmed the killer was using a suppressor, right?

Surpressors aren't like they are in the movies.



It could be it still rang out a bit in between the skyscrapers.

Well sheeeeeiiiiiit. I suppose that all makes it more understandable. Thanks la.

Could also just be the media putting 2+2 together and getting 3. I saw a report that he might have used low velocity ammunition, which doesn't break the sound barrier, so you don't get the loud bang. The media might have just assumed it was a surpressor.

Tbh looking at that graining footage I’d assume the same. I bet it’s some mental home made ghetto stuff

A customer in Maccies is the downfall for the gunman. From an ivy league uni, but had ill will towards corporate America.

Possible his family could of been affected by an insurance company denying payment. Sure we will find out in the next few days.

I absolutely cannot and do not condone murder, but if you have a system that repeatedly and intentionally screws people over, you can’t act surprised when someone ends up killed.

Looking at the response from so many in the main stream media and late night comedy hosts really brings home to me , as an outsider , how angry so many of the population are about the system and it’s management.

It’s also something I struggle reconcile when you see how they vote and how something like the NHS seems to be viewed .

You wouldn't watch a TV show where people hunted billionaires, smoked them out of their house and killed them? It would be the best thing on TV.

I’ve worked in the NHS for 24 years and it’s brilliant.

Not perfect, but brilliant.

I'm not for shooting anybody, but if you are going to shoot people it may as well be rich ceo's

The care given to my immediate family and some very close friends , I don’t need convincing of this at all personally but if you listen to a lot of people in the US it’s viewed as something I certainly don’t recognise and they often use language that’s extremely offensive .

That’s why the response to this murder and the verbalised view of health care is all a bit confusing.

Musk and Trump, please. John Textor didn't qualify.

Murdoch, Dyson, Ratcliffe. They're all scum.

The staffs ability to treat each patient as an individual, under incredibly stressful circumstances with a government willing them to fail, is honestly one of the most inspiring practices I've witnessed
