not the onion
Can we call this a 2nd amendment success story?
more
the media is trying to vilify the shit out of these people... which is funny cause I heard a lot of "where are the open carry people defending ferguson protestors against the police?!?" during the first protests
It's not 100% clear from just this video, but these people are out in ferguson educating people about open carry laws while also protecting them because the police are failing to do so.
Is this world fucked?: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34062118
Yes.
Sounds like he killed himself.
Now they're saying that he is in "very critical condition".
That footage sent shivers down my spine.
I really don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said.
Jesus Christ he fucking filmed it and put it on his twitter account.

Yeah, that video the shooter took himself is terrifying...so sad. The worst thing is that if you watch closely, as hard as it is to do, the first shot missed the reporter (can see the recoil caused him to miss to the right...hole appears in the rail), and probably the second one too and it looks like she actually almost made it as she took off. God dammit.
That fucking psycho waited for her to be in frame on the live broadcast camera before pulling the trigger.
His breathing in that video really fucked me up. It's so creepy.
I'm glad he didn't succeed in killing himself, bring that motherfucker to justice.
Apparently the shooter has died
I mean, who sends a fax anymore?
In law and business, we send faxes all the time. It's electronic fax, now (using copy machines and all-in-one printers), going to email accounts as PDFs, they don't come out of fax machines on the other end.

Yeah, I send them at work, too. But like a personal fax? Haha. Just seemed weird to me.

For fuck's sake! He's piggy backing off of that cro-mag knuckle dragging asswipe Dylan Roof? What a turd.
The guy probably figured that was the best method of getting them to actually READ it.
Oh, yeah, and he was also a total psycho. Who spends that much time writing a 20-something page "manifesto" in the first place except psychos?
An email would probably go into a spam folder. Fax? He probably knew how to get that into some kind of "headline news" fax account.
Piggy backing implies support. He is in direct opposition to the Church shooter, most certainly because of race. He DOES like the Asian Virginia Tech shooter.
This guy's motives are very obviously race related, if you read this and the HR complaints he made against others.
This guy was nuts. Just nuts. He says it was race-related but it's also because he was gay.
I wonder if this guy had a mental history and he was incorrectly allowed to buy this gun.In an often rambling letter to the authorities, and family and friends, he writes of a long list of grievances. In one part of the document, Williams calls it a “Suicide Note for Friends and Family."
* He says has suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work
* He says he has been attacked by black men and white females
* He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man
"Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act."
I don't usually watch these online videos, but I did watch this one, and each time this guy fired at this poor girl, I jumped and I almost FELT those hollow point bullets hit her, I swear, ugh, just terrible. And she was still running after being hit. Ugh, those poor people. Just terrible.

The world now has first person footage of an ambush shooting... so there's that! ugh
(not counting cops shooting people, or military videos, or similar acts in other parts of the world)
It was really fucked up though. I hope their families and SO's don't ever see that video. The 10+ seconds of him just sitting there with his gun out and waiting for the right moment... I didn't know I had that area of emotion left to be desensitized.
There's another active shooting situation in Sunset, Louisiana.
3 people shot including one officer. 8 people are allegedly being held hostage.
My line of work has put me in the position of the news crew that was killed. Back when I was, personally, against gun ownership (yup, you read that right) probably the worst fallout happened. A coworker got fired based on the work my 3 person team investigated. This investigation was requested by the company. It was a bad enough situation that it broke his family apart too. My team started seeing the same car following them and showing up at our houses. It ended with the guy attempting to break down one of my teammate's front door and then my teammate greeting the intruder with a gun pointed at his face. I was lucky enough to be out of state for the week that this guy snapped.
There are some lines of work where you expect this kind of thing to be an increased risk. The reporter crew really doesn't seem to be one of them, especially from coworkers.
