A student killed his father before gunning down at least 15 others at a Prague university, Czech authorities said, adding the gunman had also been “eliminated”.
We don’t often talk about this in the limelight, but it’s important. We need to understand how they got here if we want to have any hope of reducing the odds of that happening again.
I don’t blame USA. I blame European media that keep reporting shootings in USA. If Americans don’t have any interest in addressing this issue why even talk about it here? We can’t do anything about it and all it does is give stupid ideas to our nutters. It’s not like we can send aid or influence policies in USA. I guess it could be relevant to someone who wants to travel there but that’s what travel advisories are for. Let’s just pretend they are not happening, like Americans do.
Police said the gunman was inspired by “a terrible event abroad”. In one post, he cited a 14-year-old Russian school shooter who killed one classmate and wounded five others as an inspiration.>
wow, that one in russia was just a few weeks ago. it’s crazy to me how that event could be inspiring enough to motivate someone in a different country. no target of vengeance or grandiose idealism necessary.

My guess he’d just copying stuff he saw on TV. We copied many other things from US culture like Halloween and bad food, now time for mass shootings.
Came to the comments for the ‘blame USA’ and was not disappointed.
Own your own policy flaws. Own your own nutters.
