PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Police from across the city of Pittsburgh are responding to an active shooting situation at the The Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill.

KDKA’s Andy Sheehan reports that at least seven people have been confirmed dead, possibly more.

Police have requested that residents stay inside their home as they have exchanged gun fire with a suspected gunman.

When officers arrived the gunman reportedly shot at them, forcing officers to use their vehicles as a shield.

Two police officers were reportedly shot.

The Synagogue was reportedly full of people for a Saturday service and police say they’ve received several calls from people barricaded inside the Synagogue.

Several people have been rescued, but police are still trying to rescue others.

Nearby Carnegie Mellon University was also reportedly on lockdown, students receiving texts telling them to stay inside.

Mayor Bill Peduto is rushing to the scene.

Again, that's the liberal mindset. People are too stupid and mindless to be able to figure out what to do on their own, therefore it's society's job to tell them everything they should and should not do. It's nothing to do with the individual, they're not to blame at all--it's movies, video games, TV, books, media. All these bad thoughts get into people's head and they can't help but do terrible things.

They're so fucking condescending.

Yes, because there's never been morally paternalistic conservatives. That sort of position definitely only belongs to the party you don't like.

Next target: Zoomers.

The zoomer can be spared the boomer's wrath if he repents himself of all faggotry

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Yes, because there's never been morally paternalistic conservatives. That sort of position definitely only belongs to the party you don't like.

Of course there have been, I was around for the 90s. But they're not the problem right now, are they?

 

[Melkor]

Yeah, let's never have discussions on the issue to respect the people killed by the topic of the issue. Great thinking there; I remember when we didn't discuss drunk driving problems/solutions to respect the people killed by drunk drivers.

That's not necessarily what I meant--I was moreso expressing my disbelief that the discussion was already turning political when the bodies haven't even been buried yet.
Both sides can argue about gun control later. But give the grieving families some peace.

I agree with you, but let's also remember that the "other side" does it too. If this was an illegal alien the right would be running with that the same way they did with Molly Tibbets.

Oh no, I definitely agree with you there. If it were the other side then the right would be just as upset.

Yeah, but it still comes off as disingenuous to call the Moral Majority playbook the "liberal mindset". The Democratic party isn't liberal anymore (the mainstream branch, at least).

 

[Carnivorous Plant]

Wonderful. We have successfully turned Boomers into terrorists.

we didn't turn them into anything. they got bored with destroying the economy so they decided to destroy minorities instead.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

You talking about the party that almost made Bernie Sanders (a socialist) their primary candidate before he dropped out under pressure?

 

[Poor Choices]

Yeah, but it still comes off as disingenuous to call the Moral Majority playbook the "liberal mindset". The Democratic party isn't liberal anymore (the mainstream branch, at least).

Has true liberalism ever been tried?

 

[Lysol]

Yeah, but it still comes off as disingenuous to call the Moral Majority playbook the "liberal mindset". The Democratic party isn't liberal anymore (the mainstream branch, at least).

Okay. The authoritarian mindset of the modern left. The guy isn't wrong either way.

 

[OhGoy]

it's all good, they'll get what's comin' to 'em when they get into nursing home age

shaniqua and juanita who got into nursing because of diversity quotas will be there to make sure of that...

Has true liberalism ever been tried?

Yes, during the mid-19th to early 20th centuries.

Liberal =/= left.

 

[Cinderblock]

did you know that holocaust comes from the greek word for "burnt sacrifice"? i thought that was interesting

No, it means in greek"Everything is burned". "Holo" as in holistic, from which comes the word "whole" or "everything" . And "caust" means "burn" from which comes the word "caustic" used in for example "caustic soda."

 

[Lysol]

Yes, during the mid-19th to early 20th centuries.


Liberal =/= left.

Don't say that you're a classical liberal too loudly or an aging british man will show up and start asking you to support gamergate 2.0

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

Oh shit, I have a friend who used to live in Squirrel Hill. Her dad might still be there. Maybe it's gotten better in the 15 years since I've been there, but it used to be a really shitty ghetto (like pretty much the rest of Pittsburgh).

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but my vote was on "white supremacist." Which is funny because @Marvin & I were talking just last night about ethnic Jews being Schrodinger's white people---only considered "white" when ess-jay-dubs want to shit on them for whatever reason (usually about Israel).

 

[King Kong... with wings?]

I used to laugh at the Moon Man shit and stuff, and the first thing I thought when I saw this thread WAS "oy vey anudda shoah," but I'm really starting to think he's right. The people telling these jokes are just fanning the flames. I hate antifa, and they are only making things worse, but I'm starting to understand them just a little bit more, when they go after actual alt right figures and not just republicans or the odd free-thinking Bernie supporter.

I suppose we just need to be careful who we're joking with and make sure that these jokes are being made in part to mock the nazis--because an aspect of the humor in these jokes, to me, is the absurdity of the stereotypes themselves. Maybe there's a grain of truth to some of them, but that's true of all stereotypes.

I feel the same way. Antifa and the sjws leave a bad impression on actual social justice advocates and people who are legitimately concerned about what Trump is doing with the country, but when we mock them for going after issues that are quite serious such as the guy ramming and killing a woman at a rapra with his car and this recent shooting at a synagogue. All we do is validate their thoughts on us. What we say on the internet can be used against us

 

[Big moth tiddies]

So we've officially entered the age where every shooting/bomb/jaywalking incident is a false flag operation. The next time something big hits, I'm gonna start picking out people from the # and I guarantee there will be at least one lolcow worthy of a thread in the shit pile.

The government is incompetent. The government is incapable of wiping their own ass. I wish people would make up their mind.

 

[Francis E. Dec Esc.]

Oh yes I've heard of that conspiracy. Apparently Hitler was funded by some. bankers and bankers = Jews therefore it was all false flag to legitimise Israel. This is just handwavey bullshit to dismiss all criticisms, you come up with convoluted explanation why it's your preferred bad guys that are guilty.

I've heard one especially crazy conspiracy theorist claim that Hitler was a Rothschild.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

Its all a conspiracy! The Jews want to bring blacks and muslims into the US to start a race war then wipe out all the white people so they control everything!!!

Uh... but Jews are white.

 

[awoo]

I shall have lunch at a Jewish deli in this fucktard's honor. (Pastrami on rye is my waifu.)

I'm getting a reuben as a fuck you to him.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

Most people on /pol/ are probably just being ironic shitposters. Problem is the few people who are not ironic about it. Really gives credence to a famous statement.

Why would any one attribute that shit to Descartes? Twain or Vonnegut would have been better fake attributions, or at least slightly more believable.
