oh jeez .. another school shooting?

Shooting? Source?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/palmdale-school-shooting-today-latest-california-lockdown-highland-high-a8347266.html

proper way to say it
oh jeez.. another shooting in a gun free area?

is that true, the top comment? about outlawing teachers carrying guns this year?

cos shooting up schools is not a good way to get what you want 😛

It's Cali so probably.

why dont they just make commiting a crime illigal

Because then no one will start mass shootings and then they won't be able to ban all the guns to take over the entire US with socialism.

I.. Recall somebody saying they feel safer in a gun free zone

So I pointed out, you "feel" safer but are you?

A piece of paper stops nobody unless its backed by people with the capacity to harm you if you disobey

hmm israel has ordered Assad to throw Iranians out of Syria

Sweet

I doubt Assad cares... he's got plenty to worry about

although he could probably do without israel getting involved and bombing all his airfields again

I thought he would have taken back that little spot of ISIS in s demascus by now

they must be really dug in

Nothing a few bombs can't fix.

a few... hundred...

The more the merrier.

and some shots of the old tanks https://twitter.com/QalaatAlMudiq/status/994910457579401216

Boy, this article in itself. I'm predicting a massive call for a complete ban on guns in Australia.

do it like in the UK . just make the Ar-15 really expensive

its £3,500 for an AR-15

a basic one at that.... http://www.lannertactical.com/tactical1/landing-page/CMMGMK4S.html

@wacka that is not even a school shooting. that is just a report of shots fired. which in cali means "there was a loud bang! i bet it was gunshots!...or someone dropping something in the hallway!"

"The sheriff's department was not able to confirm that shots had been fired at the campus. "

"The sheriff's department received an additional call about shots fired at a nearby elementary school but could not confirm that report. Deputies searched Manzanita Elementary School but did not find evidence of a crime."

oh, the article even confirmed as much

I guess they updated it.. good to know

fuck, my high school has 3 "bomb threats" in a row one year. Turns out people will report stupid shit to get out of school.

lol, thats good stuff https://twitter.com/WASPmafia/status/994921315009224705?s=20

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/03/23/travis-air-force-base-attacker-identified-as-bay-area-resident/ im wondering why this hasn't gotten more MSM coverage

Tims cobra kai advert made me want to watch it 😛

i aint seen karate kid since the 80's

philly D just said in his video that the Malaysian vice prime minister might be a woman which might make it more acceptable in the middle east... I guess he didnt realise the vice president of Syria since 2006 has been an old woman.

__Homelessness in Seattle, Washington & other urban areas of the United States' West Coast__:

Homelessness is an interesting problem to tackle. There really is no "good" way to deal with it. Probably the only good way is to allow non profits and charities set up shelters or camps and let them run them. Just give them a place to operate. Let private citizens try and tackle trying get them back on their feet or connect them to other support. That way the towns or cities can say "they are doing something" while also not necessarily supporting or incentiving the life style nor use tax payer dollars.

I disagree. I think if citizens privatized that process, that process would involve a business model that puts them right back into homelessness. at least that's what it seems to me at a glance. I think what's best is to figure out why they're homeless

There's probably only a minority of homeless people who can actually be permanently helped out of their homelessness. That's where resources ought to be focused. It's like triage: help who you can actually help and don't waste resources helping those who are beyond help.

For those who are beyond helping, all that can be done is to minimize the harm they can do to society.

There are always going to be people who are too mentally ill, too extreme in personality, or too far gone to drug addiction to become functioning members of society.

@n- there is a reason i said "non-profit" and charities.

if there was a business model for it, then there would be business for it.

but turns out not many business that have figured out how to squeeze money out of debt ridden homeless people

out of curiosity, Alcoholics Anonymous is a non-profit organization, right?

I've got no sources to this, most of what I've heard is by word of mouth, but the large majority of it has been from former addicts

every single one of them states that AA is pretty much designed to make sure they go right back in there

do their member actually pay for that service? or is it free?

I'm actually not certain

"There are no dues or fees for AA membership. An AA group will usually have a collection during the meeting to cover expenses, such as rent, coffee etc, Members are free to contribute as much or as little as they wish."

that, to me, says there is an advantage to keeping people there, trying to trick them out of their money.

but still, most large scale non-profits are pretty much a scam

and charities

like the red cross

but who the town/city lets do this is up to each one, so long as they allow such an organization to be there to begin with.

the problem with using tax money is that you will fund or help subsidize someones drug habit, at least of a little while. Thats just necessary during the time they try to get sober IF they try to get sober. That is not going to be popular with a lot of tax payers.

so your only choice is either not give to shits, and let the local government piss away money at the problem and not do anything, or let citizens who want to help and have the means, do what they want to help.

sure, there are shit organizations out there, but the local government has 0 incentive to help them out of homelessness. They just want them gone and it would be cheaper to higher a few more officers to beat them out of the city, then try and help them.

problems exist until people eliminate them

pissing on a fire doesn't put it out, firemen put it out

tim wasent kidding about cobra kai, this shit is good, very well writen and very much knows what its trying to be

so, i just thought of something

given that California is constantly trying to import illegal immigrates but seems to export to other states American citizens, what if trumps plan to make Mexico pay for the wall is to sell California to Mexico and use the profits to build the wall?

@Arch-Fiend Agreed. It's strange to find myself empathizing with Johnny Lawrence.

its interesting, hes a very sympathetic character though he also thinks innitally many things i dont nessicarly agree with, but you also see him change a bit becoming more tolerent to other people while still trying to maintain what he things is the right way to be. i think this series could be very drama filled with lots of characters sort of having conflicts with eachother and i kind of hope it doesent end up that way but its still at a point im interested in seeing how everyone develops consitering the setup

wut cobra kai

though i hope they dont turn larusso's into to much of a villian

@n- Tim's topic for today.

"How long to Africa Americans have to keep putting up with this shit"

Yes, how long do they need to keep putting up with getting caught committing crimes like sex with minors, illegal handling of voter money, and tax evasion and getting sent to prison each time.

Tim, at some point you're going to have to accept that you're considered an undesirable by Youtube and that they've blacklisted you. This isn't just a series of mistakes on their part. They're trying to drive you away. It's intentional. Mere incompetents wouldn't be so consistent in their actions and in their victims.

Okay, who stormed the stage of Eurovision and called the media NAZIs?

i dunno, but some of the dutch media reported that he grabbed the mic and tried to sing along the song she was singing

well, they apparently have a translator from gibberish to dutch then 😉

Either that, or there were some unusual lyrics in that song

using very unusual words 😃

Nazi must be short-hand for "People with political differences" 🤔

I've only seen news reports that quote the opposite to what I heard him say. I haven't seen many reports and I only watched him once.. But I think he is actually onto something, would it not be nazi like to alter his words in this manner?

apparently he did that on the voice and some other show before, so it would probably be kinda the same thing he said

he said something along the lines of "Nazi's of the media, we demand freedom, war is not peace"

Yes, something to that regard
