(AP) – A shooting at a Tennessee grocery store left one person dead and 12 others injured Thursday afternoon, and the shooter was subsequently found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at the store east of Memphis, authorities said. Collierville Police Chief Dale Lane said the shooting broke out at a Kroger store in his suburban community about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of Memphis. He said 13 people in all were shot and the 12 of them were taken to hospitals, some with very serious injuries. He said a police SWAT team and other officers went aisle to aisle in the store to find people who sought cover or were in hiding, removing them to safety. He said the shooter was also found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The identities of the shooter and the victims were not immediately released. Lane said it was a sad day for his department as he spoke at a news conference after the shooting near the scene. And this is why I'm always strapped. Wake up, it's time to get your LTC if you don't have one!
As of 1 Sep 21 we don't need a carry permit here in Texas. No egistration... no permit... just the right to carry as the Founders intended.
Why is this news? This stuff has been going on for millennia. No kidding. When you go to Pukipedia, which is not a reliable source of anything, or any other websites, most of whom rip stuff from Pukipedia, remember that so-called "mass-shootings" weren't newsworthy until people went "postal" and then so-called "mass-shootings" where all the rage in the Lame-Stream Media, you know, because if it bleeds, it leads. In other words, if there was a so-called "mass-shooting" prior to 1990 and it was not reported in the major dailies, namely the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun, Chicago Tribute, or Washington Post, or the so-called national TV newscasts, then the moron compiling the data for Pukipedia did not report it. It's like the tornado thing. Are tornadoes increasing in number? No, because the data record is incomplete prior to the 1990s when every square inch of the US was covered by Doppler radar. If a tornado touches down in Kansas and nobody sees it, was there really a tornado? Yes, it's just that nobody saw it. The farmer might see evidence of it a day, or two, three later when inspecting his fields, but he ain't got time to run into town and call the National Weather Service to report it, so it never gets reported. As you probably know, for a very long time there were no TVs or newspapers or radio. We know these incidents occurred, because from time-to-time, someone, usually a notable historical figure (but not always) would write in their diary or journal an account where some nutter stabbed 20 people at the market before being subdued or killed by on-lookers (or would write about a second-hand account.) So, this is nothing more than humans being as they always have been.
Of course humans have been this way forever. That doesn’t mean people should avoid taking responsibility for their own security.
I really wish these people could do at least something decent and shoot themselves in the head BEFORE the mass shooting.
Partially yes and no. Yes, there were horrific events in history and certain eras of violence, but I still think the vast majority of robbers and murderers back then had at least some semblance or conception of a moral code. The mob had their own form of honor, and even most murderers looked down on someone who would abuse women. There has been a shift in morality, or rather a disappearance of such.
I have always thought concealing a gun is the polite way to carry a gun, never made sense you had to ask permission to be polite
many say death is a harsher punishment than prison, cases like this show that is not true, just most can't commit suicide - death is the easy way out, the ultimate get out of jail free card if assisted suicide was offered in prison, many would take that offer
My point was there were always people who did bad things but they showed some restraint, because even they knew it was "wrong". Today, a lot of times, being "wrong" doesn't mean anything. A part of this I think may be the twisting of values, where what is declared "wrong" has gone beyond and departed from what was once the normal and obvious, and has led people to place less reliability into what the society declares as "wrong". (In a similar way that expanding the definition of "rape" has weakened the seriousness level with which it is viewed, even when it comes to real/traditional rape. It is a little like the fable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf)
I was agreeing something has changed, people are more narcissistic than in the past, I have noticed this much much more in society
