More carnage overnight on the streets of Philadelphia. 5 adults are dead and 2 children are injured by a shooter wearing a bulletproof vest.
MASS SHOOTING/USA
- Thread starter gaby
- Start date
The suspect taken into custody in the Philadelphia mass shooting is a 40 year old black man. He was in a heavily black neighborhood of Philly so it is likely that his victims were also black.

Five dead in Philadelphia shooting that's nation's worst violence around July 4
A 40-year-old killed one man in a house before fatally shooting four others on the streets of a Philadelphia neighborhood, then surrendering along with a rifle, a pistol, extra magazines, a police scanner and a bulletproof vest, police said.

Black man, black neighborhood, black victims. I'm sure the gun was black too. Mass shootings in America are the result of the massive amount of guns not skin color.
A pretty black post.The suspect taken into custody in the Philadelphia mass shooting is a 40 year old black man. He was in a heavily black neighborhood of Philly so it is likely that his victims were also black.

You forgot to state: A 2-year-old boy and a 13-year-old were also wounded in the Monday night massacre that made the working-class area of Kingsessing the site of the nation’s worst violence around the July 4 holiday.
About four hours after the Philadelphia shooting, fatal gunfire rang out at a neighborhood festival in Fort Worth, Texas, leaving three people dead and eight injured.
A day earlier, a holiday weekend block party in Baltimore, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) to the southwest, was marred when two people were killed and 28 others were wounded in a shooting. More than half of the victims were minors, officials said.
God Bless America! all the racists and bigots living there! And others supporting them!

Unfortunately Joe will be strongly opposed by the GOP because...you know...gas stoves and Hunter are SO much more important. Besides, the Republicans don't want to lose the millions they receive from the gun lobby.
You're referring to the young black males who shot scores of innocent black people in several recent incidents of mass shooting (Denver, Saginaw, Baltimore, Philly, etc) as racists and bigots?
That seems bizarre to me. But I know that leftists love to scream RACISM!!! whenever anyone says anything they don't like about race. Is Stephen A. Smith a racist? He would be rather surprised at the charge.
For serious people, wanting serious info:
How many US mass shootings have there been in 2023?
Explaining some of the key statistics behind gun ownership and attacks linked to guns in the US.
www.bbc.com
Concerning Mass Shootings and Guns Laws. It is obvious that a vast majority 57% of US citizens consider controls should be more strict. In 2010 it was only 42%.
Trying to play a political game, pretending it is a problem mainly for the black minority is just short sighting. Using words as "leftist" is just a sign of lack of arguments.
I doubt there are 57% leftists in US, the Democratic Party is a center party as the Republican party is mostly Center-Right. Of course there are more extreme position in each ones.
Mass Shootings are more and more a problem touching all American citizens. Violence in general is increased, we see it even in the way people interact on social media. It's not a surprise someone having a gun at home will use it in a moment of extreme distress or frustration.
That this past Independence Day weekend was a violent one is not a surprise. As the Guardian reporter who is also writing this blog reports, the Fourth of July is the most mass-shooting prone day over the last four years, research indicates, with the day after it coming in as a close second:
Gun violence is a daily reality across the US, but an emerging body of research indicates the most risky day for mass shootings in the nation is the Fourth of July, when Americans celebrate their independence from Britain.
Using data from the Gun Violence Archive, James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University, found that there have been 52 mass shootings on the Fourth of July over the past decade, averaging just over five a year, and more than on any other given day.
His analysis, which he implemented for USA Today, underscores how, in a country where Republicans in many states have acted to loosen gun laws, it is routine that the barbecues, block parties and parades held to commemorate the US’s birthday become scenes of bloodshed.

Yet it's you who brings race into every post about mass shootings. I think it's obvious why you do that so enough obfuscation. Let's confine the discussion to mass shootings and leave racism out of it.
Who appointed you as the Mass Shooting thread chief censor? You don't make the rules about what can and cannot be said in this or any other thread.
My posts are about the common characteristics and circumstances of many mass shootings of the last several years. I have cited numerous examples and some data to show that a disproportionate share of mass shootings are committed by young, black males with illegal guns and the victims of these murderous thugs are everyday black citizens.
The solution to the problem is not for the government to seize legally owned guns from law-abiding citizens. Even if the government could do that, the bad guys would not magically turn in their guns.
The solution to the problem lies with American citizens, the courts, police, prosecutors, judges and prisons. Unfortunately, because of idiotic leftist ideas like "defund the police," Soros-funded weak-on-crime prosecutors, no-bail laws and the prison abolition movement, the problem of violent crime in the U.S. has steadily worsened over the last decade.
Also, there was yet another mass shooting in a black neighborhood Monday night:
3 dead, 8 injured after overnight shooting in Fort Worth
A total of 11 victims have been identified – three have died and eight are at area hospitals in unknown conditions.

Ouch. I think my post hit a nerve. I will leave the censorship to the mods who are fair and capable referees. Your posts on this thread typically center on one villain - specifically black men - although with this rant you are blaming liberals as well. You ignore the fact that there exists an obscene proliferation of easily obtained, deadly weapons in the USA, the hate and fear that is palpable on the right, the normalization of violence, the spreading of disinformation, the radicalization of the MAGA base, widespread economic inequality and social injustice, etc, etc. These factors all contribute to the mass shooting crisis we suffer through every day in America but it's all exacerbated because of the guns. No one can solve a complex problem like mass shootings easily but the solution starts with common-sense gun safety regulations that the majority of Americans want and not with blaming the black man or liberals.Who appointed you as the Mass Shooting thread chief censor?

The police have not caught any suspects yet but I would bet you 100-1 that if they are ever caught they will be young black males using illegal handguns and not white frat boys from Texas Christian University. I apologize for noticing things that make you extremely uncomfortable. Maybe you should stop reading this thread.
There is nothing more American than mass shootings on the 4th of July. The Gun Violence Archive counted 22 mass shootings over the extended holiday weekend with an injury total at 126 and the death count at 20. This gun sickness this obsession with guns must stop. It is no one's God-given right and patriotic duty to possesd unlimited instruments of death. Congress: do something.
Man who killed 23 people in Texas Walmart shooting targeting Latinos sentenced to 90 life terms by federal judge
Patrick Crusius, the mass shooter who killed 23 people at an El Paso Walmart in one of the deadliest attacks targeting Latinos in modern US history, was sentenced to 90 consecutive life terms by a federal judge on Friday.
Authorities say Crusius rampaged through the El Paso Walmart with the sole intention of killing Mexican people and immigrants. At least eight of those killed were Mexican nationals, according to Secretary of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard. Crusius is also believed to have posted a hate-filled screed online just minutes before the shooting in which he espoused xenophobic and White supremacist beliefs.
Prior to this deadly attack, Crusius posted an on-line manifesto with white nationalist and anti-immigrant themes while citing the Christchurch mosque shooting and the Great Replacement conspiracy theory as inspiration for the attack.
I'm glad that Crusius has been sentenced to life-a death sentence would have been even better. Also I won't make any excuses for him such as "...widespread economic inequality and social injustice, etc, etc." which is what liberals do when the shooter is any race except white. He's just as much of an evil thug as other mass shooters.
Mass shooters always attack vulnerable people in places where they are likely to not meet any resistance such as schools, stores, theaters and workplaces. It's too bad that there was no law-abiding, gun carrying citizen in the Walmart that day who could have shot back at Crusius and stopped him from killing so many people.

So you finally decided to comment, albeit offhandly, on my earlier rebuttal. Economic inequality and social injustice are not excuses just reality for many people. That reality can result in antisocial behavior and violence. Just like it can for the person who has been radicalized and is full of hate or the person who is mentally ill. When these people have easy access to weapons, mass shootings can be the result.
Yes, we should keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. However, these days liberals refuse to recognize when a person has very clear signs of mental illness.
For example, the Philadelphia mass shooter liked to dress up as a woman. What could be more clear as a sign of mental illness than a man who dresses as a woman?
He also exhibited another clear sign of mental illness-he was a supporter of Black Lives Matter.
I was shocked when Joe Biden recently hosted a group of similarly mentally ill people on the grounds of the White House. But I guess they had to pass through a metal detector and there were lots of Secret Service guys around to keep them in line. Though one guy proudly took off his shirt to show off his fake boobs to Joe. Not a good look!
Philadelphia mass shooting suspect Kimbrady Carriker was ‘weird’ and dressed as woman for years: neighbors
Kimbrady Carriker, 40, has since been hit with a slew of murder and other charges after allegedly opening fire with AR-15 style rifle in Monday night.

I believe that what caused the deaths and wounded is not the way that guy dressed but his use of an AR-15 assault weapon !
