ramboacdc Posted 26 August 2015 Author Share Posted 26 August 2015 Live television broadcasting? It's like free advertisement and it's exactly why Al Quaeda flew two plans into the twin towers. That will no doubt make millions of people feel unsafe tonight. it also means the media wont report live at the scene like they do for every other shooting ive ever know in america. if anything it will cause a blackout.

The USA's had problems with gun-toting nutjobs since forever, there's no reason to presume this one's any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 26 August 2015 Share Posted 26 August 2015 Horrible occurance. I watched the bit afterwards where they mention the two being in relationships with colleagues, the lady was with one of the news anchors and the male camera man was engaged to the producer who's last day it was today! They were about to move to Charlotte together for new jobs. As mentioned above credit to the team for carrying on with their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that network puts its news on at 6.45 am because nobody will watch it then? I personally think it's a random nutter too, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was linked to some terrorist organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? That video has been seen by millions of people. Even if people didn't see it live it's still cause for mass terror. EDIT; Do you not think that England would be properly worried if someone died on live tele over here? It's terrorism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkon84 Posted 26 August 2015 Share Posted 26 August 2015 So they were an engaged couple, about to move away to new jobs etc. How utterly tragic. That has to be a psycho ex or something, rather than an awful coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxUK Posted 26 August 2015 Share Posted 26 August 2015 Please don't call out for gun regulations and mention 'gun problems' after an incident such as this, it was clearly a targeted attack. The fact is whenever something like this is publicised, it's almost always spun to reflect the dark sife of American gun culture, when in reality the day to day problems are far worse, and the isolated anomoly incidents such as this, are a reason to call for reform - don't be dragged in.

AKCJ Posted 26 August 2015 Share Posted 26 August 2015 Don't spin it out of control beyond what it is. Spin what out of control? Gun crime correlates to poor gun control. it's a massive problem and this kind of thing doesn't happen without strict gun control (or at least it very, very rarely does).

EDIT; Do you not think that England would be properly worried if someone died on live tele over here? It's terrorism. Creating fear as a side effect of your decision to rock up and shoot 2 people on a minor tv show at 6:45 in the morning is not the same thing as terrorism which is done with clear political/religious motives. Please don't call out for gun regulations and mention 'gun problems' after an incident such as this, it was clearly a targeted attack.

It's yet another guy with yet another gun yet again fatally shooting somebody in the USA. At least this time it wasn't a policeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jattdogg Posted 26 August 2015 Share Posted 26 August 2015 Whether its day to day issues or isolated i think it doesnt matter. something has got to change in terms of gun control. But no way in hell that is going to happen and we all know that. Even if it did there are so many guns out there you cant possibly eradicate them. Most importantly Condolences to the families, friends and colleagues who lost two people today to senseless violence. Im absolutely shocked after seeing the incident.

The guy I quoted was talking about getting to Cameron, which would be terrorism. This incident has created terror (purposely or not), which is different.

If it wasn't broadscast it would be a non-story. If this shooter hadn't of had a gun at his disposal he would have stabbed them or attacked them in a different mannor; he targeted them for a reason. It isn't some deranged 'i'm going to shoot up the school' lunatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
