#Shooting #California #MassShooting
Joe is shuuting against us too.
Nowhere’s safe!!!! This world ain’t a paradise. Reality.
I don’t know about that maybe your right but I investigate before anything and other states make you pay or jail and I know Vermont doesn’t do it that way and Republican governor and two senators and Congress woman are building low cost housing for the homeless in Vermont and New Hampshire is going after the homeless with no plans and I hope Republican governor of New Hampshire keeps the sovereign citizens out of Vermont because New Hampshire has the most sovereign citizens in America
@wewhoareabouttodie saluteyou and alot of Chinese in Vermont mostly white but alot of nurses from China live in Vermont and they are happy because nurses in Vermont make a little better money than the rest of the country
I can see the Sydney harbour bridge from my window. I hear loud explosive sounds and think is it a public holiday?
@Nevyn of OZ 1973 because you’re living in a dream world. Fantasy
Looks like another hate crime
Uh yea…gonna have to disagree
Asian on Asian crime is out of hand.
Korean on China or vise versus hate crime
@Khawm titi White van, not white man.
@Dakota Fred white van, White’s van get that
Safe. Yeah, no. It isn’t even safe to drive in LA or this area of LA county.
Safe in Texas though, unless you’re in elementary school getting slaughtered while cowardly cops wait outside.
@Big Tim Generally anywhere that has a high density of humans tends not to be safe in general.
Stop killing Chinese people
Tell that to the shooter who was probably ____
This the product of MK ultra.
It was actually a product of a 50-year-old Asian dude that murdered 10 people for no reason whatsoever
No one is any longer at the right place, at the right time.
I believe I am. I can see Sydney harbour from my window. If I was taller I could see the Sydney opera house
@Nevyn of OZ 1973 My point exactly. You want to be taller.
Thanks Biden for your unity 🤝
Biden is to blame. Welcome to Bidens America.
Shut up
It goes both ways. If it is a Republican leader, it will be mostly a Caucasian, extremist shooter. If it is a Democrat, it will usually be a minority.
Only thing is, are these shooters paid to commit these acts? Seems like they are spaced out too well, almost like they do it at certain times.
Shooter was Asian. Asshat
@Indians Auto Usually, minorities are the shooters if the leader is Democrat.
President Joe old policy instead Biden should give Medicare for all and the mental health care centers would be better maybe help the crazy people senator Bernie Sanders pushed community health care centers all over Vermont and Vermont has alot of guns and Vermont is a open carry state no problem in Vermont once in awhile and maybe give Americans opportunities not with wallstreet corrupt corporate America puppet President Joe with big corporations 3 and no safe guards bailout out for corporate America
Already obsolete before it was posted!!!
update me fam
Allah Akbar
Who would have thought that an Asian would do something like this? I have heard of Asian gangs in Los Angeles, but this is just crazy!
It never happened
Virginia Tech
@wewhoareabouttodie saluteyou so unlike them to use a gun? I guess you’ve never heard of the Japanese Yakuza or Chinese Triads or the various Korean, Cambodian and Vietnamese gangs in LA. Shooting guns for them is like shooting off fireworks.
@Terence You are watching too much Rush Hour
@wewhoareabouttodie saluteyou sorry to offend your preconceived notions but denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.
Don’t they have strict gun laws and low capacity magazines to prevent mass shootings? If the laws don’t prevent the bad guys, then what can we do to change this reoccurring issue
@wewhoareabouttodie saluteyou “to protect ourselves in a civilized way” LMFAO Sorry I didn’t realize you were so “protected” by the government. You know, the same folks who extort you on a continuous basis (taxation) who put tens of thousands of people in cages over victimless crimes every year, who continuously bomb foreign locales with the money they extort from you, who spy on all your communications, who limit your participation in the economy with overregulation and needless barriers to entry into the market, etc. etc. I could go on listing all the ways the government victimizes you, and you’d still be blind to it.
The fact that you think the government is there to protect you at all is hilarious.
Also, I’m not a “fake anarchist” as you put it, I am a hardcore Libertarian. Among other principles, I believe that individual liberties need to be upheld above all else. The government is the biggest threat anyone in this country faces on a daily basis.
@Enzo’s Woodshop “Also, I’m not a “fake anarchist” as you put it, I am a hardcore Libertarian.”
I read somewhere. Libertarians are like cats. They THINK they are independent, but they use up resources like crazy and NEED a government to thrive. Do not think you are fooling anyone because even the Afghans extremists would outlive you. You could not live in a mountain in a lawless country. You would suffer my boy!
Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with the debate at hand, you’re now just trying to insult me directly lol. This debate no longer has any value at this point.
Stay mad, tyrant. As much as you wish otherwise, individual liberties aren’t going anywhere. Guns aren’t going anywhere. Go cope and seethe, statist.
@Enzo’s Woodshop You have to know how to adapt and mold. When the time comes that you lose what you think are individual liberties, you will be LOST!
It is sad to see a lost soul, but you chose it.
@wewhoareabouttodie saluteyou lost soul? What are you even talking about lmao
Show them that they cannot break you! I’m so sorry this had happened to you.
Commiefornia just needs more gun control
It is not communist when there are a lot of laws that allow safety in the community. I am in a red state now and even though it is capalistopia, crap goes down and no one is actually free to do anything except join in the paranoia.
This was a mostly peaceful protest
The street signs are in both Chinese and English in Monterey park.
And you can’t read either
63% Asian. That is insane.
Insane why?
@Big Tim I can read hok gwy
Good thing California has those strict gun laws.
And the check all vehicles entering the state, otherwise you could just drive to a gun show, get a gun without a background check and drive back to California.
This is just terrible. Monterrey Park is a lovely community.
big difference between feeling safe and being safe….clearly this was not a safe place.
Thanks to gun control. This is going to keep happening. The law abiding citizens pay for it because California has. Stupid gun control they don’t care about their citizens at all we have the right to bear arms and defend our selfs If things We’re different in California. The citizens would Cary a gun for self protection
YOU NEED TO LEARN ENGLISH BEFORE HAVING ANY INPUT ON WHAT A U.S. STATE SHOULD DO! GO BACK TO EUROPE AND LEARN AMERICAN ENGLISH!
fake af
👍
Yeah. Sorry. When you live in Los Angeles, you aren’t ever safe. NEVER let your guard down.
Uvalde is safe, if your a cop.
S. / T. / A. / G. / E. / D. /
NBC news will drop this story like a hot potato depending on who the shooter is.
rip
Don’t ban guns just make it harder to sell them
It is much safer for me to carry a gun and have a gun wherever I go. I have no desire to hurt anyone but I will fend for myself and the best weapon to have is the same weapon the criminal has a gun.
@wewhoareabouttodie saluteyou you do realize close combat does not work against someone that has a pistol I know you’re not stupid so you need to think before you comment something so ridiculous.
@wewhoareabouttodie saluteyou You have no clue the disaster we are leaving for our future generation, imagine this x1000 happening in the future. People are out here struggling and it causes mental breakdowns .
@Aztec can you imagine an America where guns are illegal literally honest people would be the only ones without protection and the mentally ill criminals and thieves are the only ones that will have deadly weapons that is truly a dystopian nightmare the only way to combat this situation is for people to protect themselves but more than that people need to fear a Creator and that Creator is God the god of the Bible he sent his son to this earth 2,000 years ago to die on an Old Rugged Cross for your sins and my sins and if a person will put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ they will become a new creature and they will have a desire to serve God and help others that is what will truly fix the problem but it will not happen because man is evil the Bible predicts man will get worse and worse that’s why you need to be ready to go this Earth will not last much longer God is angry with wickedness that is on this planet and he is going to destroy it at some point in the near future be ready to go trust God’s son the Lord Jesus Christ he is the only hope any one has
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. -Karl Marx
It’s time to stand up for ourselves people my heart hurts with constant scenes like this
😢
I hate to say it, this is America, unsafe country.
United States*
New Yorkers be like, oh thats like everyday for us.
Chicago too and I know…Chicago is not a state…
Lol…
My sincere condolences to the victims and their loved ones.
You can’t always trust the police to keep you safe. The concept of feeling safe is an elution, you can only be safe if you have the tools to keep you safe and/or a gun for your safety and self defense. You become your first responder in seconds the cops come in minutes, time is crucial and your life is at stake. No more gun laws, learn how to use and operate a gun and exercise your God given rights.
Criminals always follow the law so well 🤔👌
Well, vote better…politicians that are easy on crime..
You can’t vote your way out of this.
When they’re rattled, does that mean they’ll stop voting democrat?
It’s sad that the shooter was Asian also. If they were any other race, the REAL AAPI movement could finally take off. 10 people died in vain for no reason, when they could have been the vessel to expose the indifference America has on AAPI hate.
another one
My mom, sister, and I went to this specific location to celebrate for lunar new years a few days ago. We left somewhere in 5:30 – 6:30 pm because we were tired and it was cold outside. We also brought our dog, a mix of shih tzu and a pug. Our dog was anxiously shaking while in this place because this was the first time to see the crowd big. Anyways, getting offtrack now, we left to get some pho because we were hungry. We were so lucky to not have this experience with mass shooting. Very lucky, because we left early before this happens. Unfortunately for others, were not so lucky. I want to say for the victims and survivors, I am sorry that you’re going through this situation. I am going through this situation as well because we were there before it happened. I’m sorry.
Thank god it’s not a “Asian hate crime”
Mass shooting rattles U.S. community.
In other news Australian community stunned by sun burn.
Covid deaths
Model minorities?
My sincere condolences to the family of victims .
