Clicky

Apparently this 19 year old, Robert Hawkins- who was taking drugs for depression and ADHD got fired from McDonalds and his GF dumped him and decided to grab an ak-47 (not before planting grenades around previously) and start blasting people in a mall in Nebraska (9 dead, 3 critically wounded)). He left an emo note that said a few things and ended with "now I'll be famous".

Wonder if that Anti-video gaming lawyer Jack Thompson has got wind of this yet.

PS- I can't find a picture of him (like the one I saw on TV just now) but he definitely looked emo.

Too bad there weren't any brave civilians carrying concealed in that mall. There might be nine people alive to enjoy the holidays with their families.

I'd like to thank the media for giving this fuckbag of an adolescent the drama he was seeking.

Its a double edged sword. I mean everyone has the right to know but maybe people wouldn't do this kind of thing if they knew it wouldn't be on the news.

People will be idiots regardless of the news; but when a shooter goes down in a violent ending such as this, they know what they're getting in the end.

This adolescent has already been called the "victim" and a "lost puppy" by his landlady. That absolutely disgusts me. He wasn't the victim; the nine people he killed are the victims.

Too bad a civilian can posses a fucking high power automatic rifle and hand grenades.


Yep, we have the right to defend ourselves, what if a buglar breaks into my house!, i think we will all agree that the best way to deal with it is to toss a few grenades in the "blind" spots like counterstike and if he didnt die rush with our AK47.


-_-

Its a shame another 10 had to die... but hey atleast a ignorant redneck asshole has the freedom to shoot some cans with his massive gun colection.

I completely disagree with u. People, like animals, their main objective is survival. And if the environment (the society) has made this living being go against its nature and wanting to die, then in my opinion he would be a victim as well.

Ugh I hope this doesn't actually turn into another argument about whether or not a change in gun legislation would prevent this kind of incident.

On a related note, I wonder why so many more kids nowadays are suffering from adult mental health issues than in the past. Is it just because they are better diagnosed now?

i dear say its the money it generates for pharmaceutical companies
nowadays, you can't leave your house without being bombarded by 'are hou depressed?' or some sign questioning your health. Before people just put up with it and moved on, now everything has a 'cure'

The problem is they need to not sell weapons in general to people with depression or taking drugs for certain things.

I think it's because parent's don't beat their kids enough and children are taught that they are special and that their thoughts and views are more important than everybody else's. It leaves them with an extremely bloated sense of self worth and entitlement.

Then it all blows up in their face as the real world shows them what they're really worth. Realizing that you're a pathetic waste of skin is a hard pill to swallow.

Beat your kids people. It's for their own good.

EDIT: There is a huge difference between physical discipline and physical abuse by the way.

so you suggest a psychological evaluation before purchasing a gun lol... yeah those are reaaaally hard to cheat on.

The problem is that only a retard would think you need an AK47 or a hand grenade for self defense!.

also statistically a gun in a house hold causes more death to family that owns it than from buglars, so there is no logical argument backing the possesion of such high powered weapons except the 1st amendment... a document wich clearly talks about the people's right to bear arm to defend from a potentionaly dangerous government (revolution).

however its not fucking 1800, some people with guns cannot overthrow the government of the united states, thats now how the world works anymore the constitution is clearly outdated.

I don't know the laws in Nebraska, but Here in Cali you can't own an automatic weapon.

And about your statistic claim about the burglars and family, Thats because people don't take care of their things properly (or teach their kids etc). That and the fact that its not that likely to have a burglar rob your home (out of millions). Thats like banning golfing because you can get hit by lightning.
