jokes aside, it is strangely fitting that the shootings happened during the sequel to The Dark Knight, with this famous bit from the Joker:


"You know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go “according to plan”… even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow I told the press that, like, a gang-banger will get shot, or a truck load of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all part of the plan. But when I say that one little old mayor will die… well, then everyone loses their minds!"


Two days ago there were 32 coordinated attacks in Iraq, killing 116 people and injuring 299 others. Have you guys heard anyone mention it? I haven't yet. No one gives a shit.

But 5 days after the shooting in Aurora, I still hear about it on a daily basis. I dunno. Like I said.. it's strangely fitting.


Whoa, I made a similar post to this one on reddit.

If we got that many in a year it would be newsworthy.

Disclaimer: We do, and it is. It's about one story a year about how the crime rate is compared to the previous year. But the total is still only about 40.

the US is huge, bro. last time I checked our population was about 350 million. 25 people a day isn't too bad, and they're prolly innercityniggers anyways.

Yeah that shit don't even matter here, most guys who get gunned down deserve it.
For example: If someones got a gun at your face, give them your wallet. It's easy, I don't care how much martial arts you practice or how many disarm moves you know. The fact is the attempt isn't worth your life.
Don't go flashing weapons at cops, they have guns and will use them to blow you away. They know you could be armed so don't try any shit. One of the few things they teach officers that I agree with is to shoot someones ass if they're at risk of death.
Don't break into someones house, not in America. Unless you know they don't have a gun or a dog. The way the law system works makes it beneficial to actually blow them away entirely. As they can sue your ass for harming them in any way or even them hurting themselves breaking into your house. But they can't do shit if they're dead and you pretend you were in fear for your life.

1.1 million in the army. In the entire military, there's 1.4 million active, and another 1.4 million in reserve. That's almost three million dudes in the entire military, and not only that, but a military that's more funded than that of the rest of all the world's militaries combined.

lol, 120 million fit for military service too. If the US ever uses a draft, you niggas beware.
