#NBCNews #Michigan #Shooting
they need officers standing at every entrance after this fiasco, hire a patroling security. ….if amazon can afford patroling security…then so can the government/state/campuses. I would love to see my tax dollars/ tuition go to security at schools and colleges
A cop costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, each. They’re paid a lot and get to retire younger than other professions, despite it being safer than at least a dozen other jobs with worse benefits and pay.
68 mass shootings just in the U.S. alone, and we are not even out of the 1st quarter of the new year of 2023 😔
THE ANTICHRIST IS IN CHARGE OF ALL THIS MESS.
APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 6🏹🇵🇰🏹
DANIEL CHAPTER 11 VERSE 37🇵🇰🏳️🌈👈
ONE ACTION ONE PROPOSAL DISARM U.S.A CITIZENS 🇵🇰👈👈👈👈
68 mass shooting this year so far !!! That’s almost 2 per day!
How did he get that weapon? How do illegal drugs circulate?
Getting an firearm is not a hard thing it’s much easier than anyone thinks. My condolences to the family and friends RIPIH All of you. Now, here’s a repeat of a repeat when will it ever stop? Why take the lives of the innocent who hasn’t done anything to you? Where is the Psychology in all of this all? Lord please help the families and friends of the victims and the family of the shootings they are hurting and in a maze to know that their love one could and would do something of this magnitude and then committ suicide. Lord God ALMIGHTY things are so confused here please help them all!!! Amen ❤️ 🙏 ❤️ 🙏 ❤️ 🙏 ❤️ 🙏 ❤️
When will it stop? it won’t stop. guns, other means etc.. stressful life, politicians and the news have made it worse…and dare say they make a lot of the horrific things happen in round about ways.
If only the Dem prosecutor Carol Siemen had not reduced his illegal carry conceal charge in 2015 from a felony to a misdemeanor then McRae would be in prison until 2024 and had a lifetime ban on gun ownership but this DEM prosecutor was concerned about equity.
The Virginia Tech mass shooting happened when I was in college.
Sorry we still haven’t done anything even though there’s lots we can do to curb this kinda stuff 🤷♀️
Wait… there’s been 68 mass shooting in 2023 already? We literally just passed the 6th week of the year…
It is the norm now,when someone is suicidal instead of doing it alone they look for innocent lives to go down with them.
How many shootings in Chicago in the past week. Media is a joke. This is the only thing that makes headlines while people are murdered every day in crime ridden neighborhoods.
When you start punishing the person holding the gun, and the motive.. let the punishment fit the crime. We have gun laws. I don’t want to see a Police State, it’s known when guns are taken away crime abides and gets worse. We living in a time where people don’t care, and do whatever they want and have no care about others, or what it does to the family. It’s in all nationalities here,and evil will do what it wants, because nowadays you can get away with it.
Wait 68 mass shootings this year? Is that from last febuary to this febuary or 68 mass shootings since january this year?
All the world is a stage
68 shooting yep and it’s going to get worse but it’s not because of weapons it’s because people are getting worse people are more evil and they’re going to get more evil because they rejected the only light that God ever gave you this planet the Lord Jesus Christ
This is America
🙄🙄🙄🙄 PLEASE 🥺 GOD MAKE IT STOP🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was a cop failure! They literally ignored active shooter calls announced by dispatch who also failed. After Union shooting calls were ignored. Homeland Security had to handle it after his suicide. There were two more calls w shooting reports on campus w ppl bearing down.
Cops first concern is getting home safely, except a few.
RIP to the victims and RIP America. You were a country that was once looked up to
Wait 68 mass shootings this year ,as in 2023 ??? Just two months only ????? Or from 2022???? Help me out because this is absurd
Have mass shootings increased over the last 2 years specifically? the last 4?. And there was no body (I know No students of course) there that could Target the shooter? Could our politicians and the news be somewhat responsible..spreading such Stress/anger constantly. Misleading, lying. Pushing division and hate..especially when it comes to political parties not to mention race and gender. Hitting the middle and lower class financially etc. especially the last 2 years.? Things have stunk in many ways for the last 2 years or so….Bad. The economy, the boarder, other countries issues. The news, doing their job? just feeds off it…Pushing (or at least contributing to) people going to the brink?
These campus sites are so large … it seems any nutcase can access the kids …. i send my love and comfort to all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Who is this lady? Where did he get the weapon? Can’t even wait 24 hours for politicians to try turn it into a political victory…. Thats what out modern politcs looks like every day,
It’s not guns that’s the problem it’s mental health
See eye aye hard at it again
If the government really wanted to get rid of these guns they could but guns make them too much money☹️☹️☹️😞😞😞😞
Gutless killer.
Our system robbed these beautiful young lives if it was confirmed that the shooter was able to buy guns. The monster should have never been able to buy guns with his criminal history. America’s shame.
There are people there that also where there for their own elementary school shootings. Like come on people. It’s not just about gun control. The whole system is broken. America is not the greatest country on earth they are just really good at propaganda.
Come to our school, not only go into a lifetime of debt but also watch your friends die. …
68 mass shootings this year he says and we are 1.5 months into the new year. Let that sink in real quick. How many did we have under trumps administration? Far less then that I can tell you. Democrats are the problem. They are making it easier for criminals to get their hands on guns and making us incapable of being to defend ourselves. Vote the democrats out.
How did he get that weapon he stole it or got it from someone who stole it.
68?! What is wrong with the US?! You’re all aware the year has barely started right? How do you fit that many shootings in already?? That’s wild.
The US has a mental health crisis and yet most people have access to firearms. Everyone wants their right to protect the right to bare arms yet we have also have the right to protect our lives. We can’t do that when it comes to conflict between the two. This is getting tiring
Government can easily deploy police officers to all university.
When a country is mixed from everywhere like tutti frutti, taste Good for one Day next day ,throw it to trash 🗑 .
Bad ending, dear Americans.
It’s a bulling matter …America’s full of psychopaths …
NO MORE GUNS! 2:11 why hasn’t he been caught how embarrassing 😳 😕 😐
It happened again, and again and again and what has changed? My condolences to their families and friends. 😢
After Sandy Hook, when President Obama couldn’t get gun laws tightened, I knew nothing would change in the US. There couldn’t have been a clearer message that the “right to bear arms” is far more important to certain people than the lives of American children and citizens. I don’t live in the US and I can’t believe how this repeated slaughter of innocent people is tolerated in the name of gun ownership. Smh.
Prosecutors allowing repeat offenders to return to the streets has not helped an administration that cares more about criminals and foreigners than they do victims and US citizens and are apathetic toward law and order in general has happened.
Nowhere is safe now, it could be anywhere and to anyone. God protect us all 🙏🙏
NBC: all this are just distractions so when are you going to address how Obama, Hillary and some other US politicians are colluded with Mexican high level corrupt cop Garcia Luna and that some of them received money from the cartels ?? is this issue just a NYC headline?? are you avoiding this for some reason?? is Biden giving you the line??
Don’t buy. ‘How many more’ slogans. Just like Sandy Hook…..! Crisis actors and more to come. ‘How many more’ to come until people wake up. They want your guns and they want to control you. End of story. America please wake up.
These poor innocent people didn’t deserve to die. First Takeoff, now this, Rest in peace.
“He was ineligible to possess or purchase a firearm, so how did he get that weapon?”
And this is why you don’t let the liberals scary words frighten you enough to give up your second amendment rights. Because even if the law abiding citizens who want to save lives and protect themselves and others can’t get one, the criminals still will. A perfect example.
Oh, and wasn’t a scary ar-15 either was it? No, it was a handgun. Ya know, the kind that over 75% of americas shootings happen with. But yeah oooooo big scary weapon of death the ar-15 is 🙄🙄
68 MASS SHOOTINGS IN AMERICA IN ONE MONTH, ZERO IN AUSTRALIA HAHAHHAAHHAHAHA
@Victor Australia has cucked population who censor everything and get rights taken away and the other are the freest people in the world. Australia wasn’t exactly having mass shootings all the time when guns were legal either lol. You can’t work out that one is an ENTIRE ISLAND CONTINENT with only 30 million people and one is a nation of almost 400million with thousands of miles of boarder with a narco state.
As an MSU alum, I’m shocked. Never thought they’d be painting ‘the rock’ black with a message of grief. Never. I can’t imagine my favorite buildings, Berkey, and the Union the sites of bloodshed. Devastated.
His mom died guys
Yesterday Happy St Valentine’s Day ❤🇺🇲🇷🇺❤❤❤❤❤❤💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
My former research professor is there, and I have not heard from him 🙁 I don’t understand why this keeps happening. My heart goes out to everyone involved. Poor young adults gone way too soon.
Still ain’t taking my guns… no matter what
Keep selling the guns and this will keep happening. Look it up this happens the most in the USA.
Guns should be available because much worse things happen when citizens cannot buy guns. More money needs to be spent on mental health.
THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN IN OTHER COUNTRIES. ENJOY YOUR GUNS AND FAT CRAZY PEOPLE
THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN OUTSIDE THE USA. DOES NOT HAPPEN
Just a reminder that most people with mental health problems aren’t violent, selfishly evil, or murderous. When authority figures blames mass murders on “mental health”, they’re really just dodging the real problem.
This is now just an American trend.
Why are key cards not used to get into the buildings and guards at the gates to the school?
God be with all the people that know the kids hurt and who passed 🙏
Where is the Black Lives Matter protest?
So glad I don’t have a gun. So glad it’s so hard to get a gun. When will Biden at least pass a law that stops mass shooters from having guns? If I’m not allowed to have one as a lawful citizen sir can you pass a law for the mass shooters to stop having guns?.
68 shootings? Not being reported? Why?
Americans live in terror and terrorism.
Lol ok princess calm down.
How many of those mass shootings are gang related, in strong liberal cities. There are mass shootings everyday in Chicago. And Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country.
Such an american thing
I wonder which law could have prevented this? 🤔
Im sure they will make something up that will just add to the other useless laws.
We really need to significantly expand couseling and mental health services to everyone… and quiting ignoring or blaming one thing or another to avoid investing in treatment and accessibility. Violence is a symptom… domestic violence, street violence, road rage, drug abuse, child abuse, vengeance or resentment killings, etc.. any one of us could become a victim at any time… and more policing is not a solution.
Just remember the Biden administration wants this to happe, because they want to disarm the people, just think that if every law abiding student there was allowed to carry a gun, the out come would have been different. Arm yourself, because criminals will always be armed and don’t have any care.
I didn’t even know this happened until today. I don’t even go out in public that much anymore. I don’t like this country that much tbh. I can’t wait to go back to Southeast Asia and West Africa come spring.
What!? Another crazy american.
I wonder if a white person butchered all young black people whether they’d mention he was white.
Why does the shooter so often end his own life?
Criminals don’t carry guns to shoot up public places. The people who do that buy guns legally with the intent purpose of doing massive damage.
Dumb Criminals carry guns. Smart ones use sophisticated tools to steal your car, bank information ect.
Being armed does not make you Rambo.
Mass Shootings have become very common right in USA
How it took his own life rather than the face of consequentialist and needs three kids lost their lives over what?
Get used to it americans. Its just what you support with your stupid laws…
Stupid laws? Why are they stupid lol? US gun laws are the best and most progressive in the world imo and save countless lives. Citizens having freedom isn’t stupid. Morons who give up their freedoms are stupid
That gun he used was legal gun. He got probation for illegal concealing gun. Which allowed him to keep gun rights.
Arm yourselves, train hard and stay frosty because only you are responsible for saving your own life!
68 this year, meaning since last February right? Or just since January? Why is nobody talking about that number
since january 1
An example of how gun control will not stop the problem. They say how did he get that weapon like they are surprised. All it will do is leave us even more venerable and helpless against these type of people.
Rest easy all three innocent victims. They’re family’s have our deepest condolences. I hope this scum get exactly what he has coming to him!
Only in America can something happen 56 times in a year and nothing change😂. AMUURICA= FAILED SOCIETY
Failed society lol? You say while people from across the world flood into the USA and no one leaves.
@BenjoBanjo chasing$$ and the “American dream”. that the only thing that drives people to there . There’s money to be made in the US and it’s been made out to be this powerhouse of a county when in reality your government just play with them like dolls 🕴🏾. Free tate
@G The only thing? People also want and thrive for liberty. I cannot name a single society or government in the entire world I can trust. Where isn’t a failed society?
@BenjoBanjo ok I’ll put it like this , I don’t know a country that has mass school shootings frequently, and does minimal to change that pattern👍🏽. 56 in a year! Couldn’t add most countries up and get that number.
@G It’s hard to change the pattern though. More money needs to be spent on mental illness imo.
How did he get that weapon – in your local gun shop or your local 7eleven since gun purchase is so lax
You know nothing about getting a gun do you?
Ban 40 year old black males from campus
What a shame of a Country. The problem is not the guns, the problem are the americans. Too many crazy mf live there and that’s why they should ban guns.
Are we going to say thoughts and prayers again? No gun reform, this is seriously tiring. Our children shouldnt have to die this way. My condolences to their poor families,
STOP BLAMING GUNS
This country has a mental and sensitive state of mind. MEN have become weak and sensitive to their emotions that is why we javelin more school shootings. Jordan Peterson was right about society.
Another Mass shooting. Sad
As a college student from a differnt country. I am floored by this. This absolutely should not be possible. No one should fare going to school. Instead of Americans and all it’s woke government focusing on making the country “inclusive” to all idiotic gender theories. They should focus on making schools safe. I am so sorry to all those who have experience this. No one should ever have to my heart goes to you. And to the lives that were stolen. May your soul rest is peace and comfort. Imagine going to a place to prepare for your future only for it to be stolen. Furthermore where was the campus security. Having an open campus should be against the rules as anyone can walk on, and you don’t even know their intentions.
Well here is an idea
“guns used in crimes” data needs to be placed on computer systems. No doubt his guns had already been used in a crime. Yet due to the NRA and its influencers, our government has not been able to do this. The NRA considers it a violation of the privacy act.
We can add shootings to the same list as baseball and apple pie. Oh yeah, and guns. Yay America!
how did he get a gun is she for real u get a gun free when u open a bank account in usa
RIP so sorry for your loss love and prayers from UK
NO VAN A TRANSMITIR TODAS LAS EJECUCIONES?
always always in AMERICA THERE’S ALWAYS MASS SHOOTING…MAY GODNESS WHAT IN THE WORLD THERE IS IN AMERICA🥺
Ii
BLAME BIDEN
Humans are animals
😢😢😢😢
I genuinely want to know what is in this man’s mind that tells him to shoot strangers? Is it mental illness, hallucinations, borderline or just pure narcissism? Serious, this is beyond me.
Where’s the ar15 and angry white male?
46 days into 2023 and there are already 68 mass shootings in USA.
