Wow bud!!!! Really had to go large and bold eh? LOL

It said 5 in the article. So I went with that.

I am so sorry I got USA instead of California. The world is going to end now because of my simple mistakes. That requires big and bold letter to tell me I was wrong. I’m officially scolded.

LMAO. You need to chill dude. Seriously. No one needs to write like that. At all. Unless you are 5 years old yelling in a school yard.

In fairness, when I read his comment my first impression wasn't that he was particularly telling you that you were wrong. I took it as more an expression of shock that it's way more than the five you mentioned - that his emphasis wasn't on your mistake but on the actual reality of the situation. There are minimal ways to express obvious shock in a forum like this - emojis and text size of fonts. That's what I thought he was doing. But only he knows.

But on the actual issue - which is far more important - people can have various opinions on gun control. But what can't really be debated is that there is an overwhelming and pervasive gun culture in the United States which leads to people who are a bit off kilter treating guns as if they're the "solution" to whatever problem their minds have created.

He writes in red all the time. He changed it to black to stand out with the added exclamation point. He was getting a hard-on at my mistake. One only has to know his posting history and style to know that.

He knew it was a mistake. The artIcle says 5 this year. I didn’t realize it was a California publication. I thought it was a national one when reading. They just said 5 this year.

He knew that because he wrote that.

I don’t care that I made the mistake. It was a mistake. But I personally think screaming “wrong!” at the top of your lungs and getting a hard on over it is pathetic. But that is just me.

As for the rest - I don’t give a shit. Which is why I quoted the one word.

Edit, not that I don’t care about mass shootings and death. I don’t care about the gun debate because it goes no where

This one is the 35th mass shooting in the USA in 2023. There were already 7 on the first day of the year. With this one in California, there were 5 in the USA today.

Statistically, people over the age of 50 are very unlikely to commit crime, let alone mass murder. I am guessing this guy lost everything due to the pandemic/bad economic conditions and went wacko.

Yes, the problem is "liberals", not guns and gun culture. Good call.

Liberals are part of the problem when it comes to spreading news before the facts are in....nothing to do with guns or gun culture that's a different monster on its own...

Exactly what "problem" is that, Richie?

Some people got the wrong take on a news event for a half-hour and then more info arrived. How does that fuck up the world, Richie? How is that a "monster"?

I bet there are people out there who guess wrong on all sorts of shit for a few minutes and then get more info and correct their misimpression. Always been that way. Always will be. How is that a "liberal" issue?

There is actually a problem. The 24 hour never-ending news cycle means that whether it's FOX or CNN or NewsMax or MSNBC or the CBC or CTV News Channels, we're inundated with far more opinion than actual "news" - there are so many panel discussions everywhere with everybody expressing their opinion about things whether they have direct knowledge or not, and FOX has even outright admitted that shows like Tucker Carlson (who many people look to and believe) are actually more entertainment than news and that no one should take it seriously. But they do.

In this case, this was the exact problem - rather than simply reporting what happened, the 24 hour "news networks" have time to kill and not enough news to fill it so they get into speculation about what happened and why rather than just reporting the event.

Even when they know the facts they still push a narrative. Fake news CP24 is bad for shaping stories to push lies. I remember that channel being on the TV where I was when that black guy shot the cop in Tim Hortons in Peel Region. There was an image of the suspect from that Tim's security camera. Very low definition but still clearly a black man. The caption below described the suspect police were looking for as a white male with a beard wearing a construction safety jacket because that's who they wanted it to be instead.

Last week on CP24 again where I was at the time that woman with the big nose and big boobs was skyp interviewing a brown man who was some sort of professional expert on racism. I don't recall his exact title, he probably gets a shit tonne of government funding from the feds. It was regarding that brown guy that allegedly pushed another brown guy down to the floor at Bloor Subway Station and made racist comments.
This so call expert on racism still brought up "a rise in white supremacy" during the interview!

The left wing media, propaganda bureau of liberal governments.

That kind of stuff is the best that the righties have to work with. They've got to make the most of it.

Because they have to. There isn't enough news to fill the 24 hour news cycle without boring the viewers by repeating the same material over and over and over again. If they only reported the news (the facts and just the facts) they'd be able to do that in maybe 20 minutes (what used to be the length of a normal network news show when you put in commercials.) But now you need to develop a narrative, discuss the narrative, analyze the narrative, etc., etc. to keep people watching and generate ad revenue - because if people tune out after 30 minutes because they just see the same thing over and over then the value of the ads goes down....

If you think this is just a problem of so-called "left wing media" then you are either incredibly naive or so brainwashed by the right that you can't see that the problem exists on both sides.

Whether left or right there's an element of "fake news" in it all - because they're all now at it 24 hours a day and seven days a week and they have to entertain rather than simply inform. It was many years ago that a major American news anchor (from the days before the 24 hours news cycle - might have been Walter Cronkite of CBS or Frank Reynolds of ABC - can't remember for certain) who lamented that the networks no longer valued their news departments and simply kept cutting news budgets in favour of entertainment programming - which the 24 hour news cycle has brought into so-called "news" reporting.

From what I've seen, this wasn't a "leftie" thing. Asian-Americans in the LA area initially believed it was a racially motivated killing and posted in social media.

Maybe it's an "Asian American problem", Richie?

maybe it is...but the fact is...CNN have their own sources...they should not base their news on someone else's tweets...it won't take a lot of work to fact check things before going on air....CNN, FOX MSNBC all major outlets left or right are notorious in speculative reporting...it shouldn't be the norm....

Several of these should not be considered "mass" shootings. Mass implies large gathering or assembly. The current definition of 4 or more people is a low bar.

:ROFLMAO: Yeah ok everything is fine in the US. They all kill each other out of mental illness but all is good because we need guns. And yes 4 people dead is too low to call it a tragedy such as mass shooting. Stop counting... 4 people or less is just a shooting because you know I was having a bad day and these 4 peoples got on my nerve...

Do you really realize what the hell you wrote? Have you lost your mind?
