Fair enough. Just wanted to attempt to contribute and I'm not reading all 61 pages of that shit.

Reading is fundamental

Why do I get the weird feeling you typed this one-handed?

Because I did. The other hand was castrating a *defective human.












*White male.

I am going to choose NOT to click on the spoiler.
Fun fact, when the Ukraine war was nudging us frighteningly close to nuclear war, Britons were mentioning this movie called Threads (which had the same calendar year as 2022, so that both 85 and this year had a Saturday March 6 and Thursday May 26, when ww3 happens). Movie had traumatized gen z Brits, such that they recoil decades later. People who have watched it have not been able to sleep for days even weeks.
I thought about seeing it, and I have watched Japanese horror and other stuff and am barely phased. Threads though I chose and continue to choose not to see bc I know I cannot choose to unsee. Same with this.
Apologies for the digression.

Evidently, i've seen Threads and they don't show much of anything violent. It's as revealing as Clockwork Orange where the violence is distant from the camera or otherwise implied. If you are able to stomach Clockwork Orange, you should be fine with Threads.

Why does he look like a fucking bug?

Scooby is going to be so disappointed. I always knew those meddling kids were up to no good.

I take SSRIs (originally Zoloft, Klonopin) and now on Fluvoxamine and ativan, I have to take it for severe anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I also own 4 guns, and a law abiding citizen. The way people make out these medications, I was very hesitant to get treatment or therapy because of the very reason I feared being treated like a 2nd class citizen and being put on a list having my rights taken away. Fortunately HIPPA prevents all kinds of things from being released but my guess is that is why people with PTSD and other issues cant seek help because you can have your drivers license revoked etc.

To be fair, theres a lot of misinformation out there too, just having a mental or psychiatric condition doesnt make someone a violent person or disqualified, many of those are people convicted by a court for reason of insanity or court ordered and commited to a mental institution.

Its not the guns or even mental illness thats the issue, its what the person says and does that makes all the difference.

Sorry bud but I don't find this very reassuring. I would prefer anyone on a cocktail of SSRIs not have anything more dangerous than a spork.

Fair enough, I been on this stuff for 10 years, gun owner for 17 years, you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

I will keep on topic going forward.

No, he gave me one article that doesn't even explain his reasoning for thinking that therapy was as effective as accupuncture. You can find scientific articles and papers that state literally anything, but it means absolutely nothing without consensus. You... do know how the scientific process works, right?
>your response is "no dude trust me".
The paper he sent doesn't even follow with his claim. It's specifically about poor research methods. It doesn't claim "psychiatric drugs don't do anything beneficial". My response (saying that the claim "psychiatric drugs are just placebos" is dumb as fuck) was regarding his apparent interpretation of the article.
>No one cares about what you think if all you're bringing to the discussion is reflexive gainsaying.
Eat me, faggot. Believe it or not, discussing shit like this requires some level of nuance beyond "x GOOOOOD/x BAAAAAD". Re-read my posts and maybe you'll actually comprehend what I'm saying.

>Is there a rule here against whitespace and using quote effectively?
Sorry, but Usenet quoting is far less time consuming.
>You are advocating throwing money into a system that does not work.
I'm literally advocating for a complete restrucring of American healthcare. The system that exists today would no longer exist. The inherent issues that come with privatized healthcare (including the greedy companies behind the pharmaceuticals you're concerned about) would leave with it.
>My new ignorant nigger friend, did you actually request a citation you didn't bother to read?
I don't think you read the article or understood my point. Remember how you said "therapy+meds is as effective as acupuncture"? Yeah, how about actually providing evidence for that, therapy included. The article is about poor research methods that lead to dubious overall efficacy. It doesn't claim that SSRIs are just totally ineffective. Which, again, I think SSRIs are not the answer the vast majority of the time, but to dismiss them entirely is retarded.
>Takes time to build up is only a saying people use with anti-depressants.
The fuck? This applies to so much more than anti-depressants. ADHD meds, antischizo meds, antipsychotic meds: these all require you to take them for a while and take them consistently to do much of anything. Unless by "anti-depressants" you mean "psychiatric drugs in general"? Say what you mean, nigger.
>But overall the efficacy of mental health treatment is in the shitter
Because it barely exists, and most people who need it don't have access to it. Access, of course, meaning more than just "bro there's a clinic in your town".
>I don't think it's cause nobody ever thought to go to counseling to talk about their feelings.
You evidently have no idea what counseling or therapy even is. Look up "cognitive behavioral therapy" and "dialectical behavior therapy".

This isn't 4chan, retard

He would have known the gun he left at the scene could be traced to him, right?
Sorry IDK anything about guns, I'm not American...

 

[Beautiful Border]

He would have known the gun he left at the scene could be traced to him, right?
Sorry IDK anything about guns, I'm not American...

Aside from DNA evidence, the gun would have had a serial number that could have been traced back to his purchase of the gun. If he had removed the serial number that would have made it a "ghost gun" and therefore a crime in itself to possess.

EDIT: Other people have corrected me on this. I should've double-checked my info, sorry.

Hindsight being 20/20, I bet those police now wish that they had arrested him, had him prosecuted and got something on his record that would have prevented him from obtaining a gun.

Hell, I bet pretty much any gun shop owner seeing death threats & suicide threats on his record in 2019 would have refused to sell him a gun independent of the Federal background check.

But this is the Chicago way. Let all this crap slide. Not such a bright idea in hindsight.

Now think of all of the antifa getting their cases dropped by "progressive" Soros backed prosecutors.

You get a better picture comparing per capita vs homicide. Just to push the flip side of the arguement, you could filter this down to stabbings and claim the world needs more knife control:

The guys of American Thinker posted a blog post worth to read about Crimo.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/07/the_highland_park_massacre_and_the_media_and_educationdriven_hatreds_that_fostered_it.html

July 6, 2022

The Highland Park massacre and the media- and education-driven hatreds that fostered it​

By Rabbi Michael Barclay

We are all aware of the terrible shooting that occurred while celebrating America’s independence in Highland Park, a suburb of Chicago, and we now know about the suspect, Bobby Crimo. What makes this act even more horrific than the many other constant shootings in Chicago (over 250 so far this year), are both the reactions and the specific circumstances of this tragic event and the perpetrator.

There have immediately been the predictable and intellectually dishonest reactions from the left claiming this proves the need for more gun control. From Gov. Pritzker on down, the leftist politicians are using this event to promote their anti-gun agenda, and Illinois State Senator Julie Morrison has said she will never attend a Fourth of July parade again (what a nice excuse for her never having to honor this nation). Although a sad commentary on our politicians, this is no way shocking.
But there is a deeper insidiousness that is related to this shooting. There are dozens and perhaps hundreds of July 4 parades in Illinois, and many thousands across the nation. Why was Highland Park a target, when there were at least six other similar parades within driving distance? Who is Crimo, and why did he choose the Highland Park parade as his target?
Highland Park and its surrounding suburbs (which includes both Skokie and Deerfield) are known for its specific demographics of including an historical Jewish community that is 30% of the city’s population that supports four Orthodox synagogues. It is in understanding this demographic that we start to see how and why this tragedy happened in Highland Park on America’s birthday. It is also in understanding Crimo’s past actions that we can get a deeper glimpse into how Robert Crimo is the direct result of his environment and indoctrination by education and the media.

As Kevin Downey has pointed out, Crimo is someone who planned this attack for weeks, legally purchased two rifles, self-described himself as “woke”, and has dressed as a woman. Clearly he is disturbed, and wanted people to know what he was about to do. But he also attempted a rehearsal of the July 4 shooting weeks earlier when he attempted to enter a Highland Park synagogue during Passover just two blocks from where he ultimately attacked the parade, and was forcibly asked to leave by the temple’s armed security. He is a manifestation of all the left stands for: including wokeness, gender fluidity, and anti-Semitism.
If we are honest, this violent act by Crimo is a reflection of the domestic terrorism and hatred expressed in the BLM/Antifa riots of two years ago, which targeted specific neighborhoods, including and especially Jewish ones. We should remember that the head of BLM Los Angeles said that the riots were planned in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood so that “the people there would feel pain”. BLM, in their charter, is committed to the destruction of Israel, and this incident in Highland Park reeks of the same sort of anti-American/anti-Semitic values that BLM, Antifa, and the “woke” left holds so dear.

Through the acceptance and support of BLM and Antifa’s hatred and terrorism by politicians, corporations, the media, and especially educators, we are inculcating our young people with anti-American values. This 21 year old suspect has been indoctrinated with the hate of BLM during the formative years of his life. For the last few years, he has been taught the BLM values in the media that he is a recipient of “white privilege”, that Jews and Israel are evil, that religiosity of all sorts should be eliminated, and that he needs to violently fight for Marxist values in order to redeem himself. He has learned that this type of outrageous behavior against anything traditionally deemed “American” is not only accepted, but applauded by many. Looking at the success of BLM/Antifa activists and the near worshipping of other domestic terrorists who want to destroy the United States, why would Crimo think anything other than that he will eventually be praised for shooting up an Independence Day parade in a Jewish neighborhood?

Thanks for having me. I've been keeping an eye on this thread since the whole thing happened, and finally decided to create an account so that I can maybe offer some... insight, I guess, since he and I were pretty good "pals" on the gore site. We talked often, almost every day.

What kind of proof would you like?

Nothing personal good luck dealing with what you got going on dude. I don't trust the shit they pump into people these days to not have fucked up side effects and make people think their dog is telling them to kill the mailman and shit.

Tbh I don't understand why Texas is so butthurt about guns. Like they aren't gonna get their guns taken away, they're just putting precaution in so ppl like the faggot who got caught last night don't have ability to get guns.

Because 1. the precautions don't work and B. calling them precautions and saying they're just to keep schizos from getting guns is just an attempt at an excuse to infringe on our rights.

I take SSRIs (originally Zoloft, Klonopin) and now on Fluvoxamine and ativan, I have to take it for severe anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I also own 4 guns, and a law abiding citizen. The way people make out these medications, I was very hesitant to get treatment or therapy because of the very reason I feared being treated like a 2nd class citizen and being put on a list having my rights taken away. Fortunately HIPPA prevents all kinds of things from being released but my guess is that is why people with PTSD and other issues cant seek help because you can have your drivers license revoked etc.

To be fair, theres a lot of misinformation out there too, just having a mental or psychiatric condition doesnt make someone a violent person or disqualified, many of those are people convicted by a court for reason of insanity or court ordered and commited to a mental institution.

Its not the guns or even mental illness thats the issue, its what the person says and does that makes all the difference.

Stop powerleveling newfag

Damn, a ghost gun with a fully-semi auto clip and the shoulder thing that goes up is an assault weapon of war!
