Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Mass shooting in Canada

Post by hanno »

Not something you hear about often happening in the land of polite people and Putine:

Canada shooting: Gunman kills at least 16 in rural Canada

"March 2020 was the first March without a school shooting in the U.S. since 2002"
And all it took was closing the schools, someone should have thought of that earlier.

I guess you can see the differnce between strict gun controls and no gun controls at all? You know, as in this is huge news in Canada whereas it would be on page 27 south of the border?

No it would be page 1 in the USA. What are you trying to say?

Why is the USA even mentioned in this awful story?
It is about a lunatic in Canada shooting people at random apparently dressed as a police officer in a police car.
It has nothing to do with school shootings in the USA or making fucking disgusting remarks about this would be on page 27 in a newspaper to the south.
I am amazed the hatred and venom that people have about the USA.
North America is comprised of Canada, USA and Mexico...
Do people from the USA read about some awful shooting in Chicago or some school and then start yapping about the 100,000 murders SOUTH of the US border a year? The mass graves of innocent Mexicans dug up?
Hell no!
You have an article that has little detail other than a very brave lady with 23 years on the job paid the ultimate price for her bravery. You have a husband and children without a mother now and as the story unfolds even more tragedies.
And you want to joke about the USA not having a school shooting in March only because the wuhan china virus was let loose and all the schools are closed?
I am constantly amazed at the hatred and the 'we are smarter than the Yanks' I find....
It would be nice to see some human beings join together and say a few words about the Mountie who gave up her life doing a job most people would never do.
It is too much to ask..
It is just throw shit at the USA .....no matter what the story...

That's hannos, among others, favorite pastime.

I think an American pilot accidentally dropped a firebomb in his dads hayloft during WWII or something.

That was really witty, I doff my cap. I have no problem with America at all, regardless of what you think.

Your posting history says otherwise.

Clearly we're at a semantic impasse.

Let us part as gentlemen.

No need to belabor the point and risk getting your lederhosen in a twist.

Good day to you, my snarky Hessian friend. :thumb:

Canada should make schools gun-free zones.
