Mass shooting Boulder Colorado

[brycejones]

The fact this incident occurred in a building which mostly had money related services and businesses, make me have a feeling that this might have not been racially motivated, but probably an armed robbery.

Did you take a round to the head?

Is it easy to buy guns in Colorado?

Don't know, never lived or visited there, but one thing that I do know about Colorado gun laws is that they are more strict than Wyoming's. Unlike Wyoming, in Colorado you do go to jail for shooting your friend in the face. Take Dick Cheney for example, he was not sent to jail for shooting his friend in the face.

This guy killed 10 people and definitely resisted arrest and they took him alive. Also the this guy killed a cop. Just to put it in perspective, the suspect

wasn't accused of passing a counterfeit $20
wasn't selling untaxed cigarettes on the street
wasn't playing with a toy gun
wasn't talking on the phone while holding an air rifle he was going to purchase
wasn't walking home and was dressed not to other people's liking

Anyone recognize this list???

Nah, he is just a guy that had a "bad day".

I actually did not read the article and looked at the map first before posting. In other words, I first looked at the map, then posted, then read in the article that it was a store. Getting all information first is important before jumping to conclusions, what I did by posting without knowing everything won't happen again.

R U kidding??? It's easy to buy a gun ANYWHERE in America. Colorado, I understand, just passed an "open carry" law allowing "open carry".

Lets face it America...
Americans ARE NOT mentally capable to have so easy access to guns. Americans simply can not handle such power. Americans are like an 5 year old child when it comes to responsibility. When a 5 year old gets mad, they lash out without thinking or reasoning the consequences. The average adult gun owner is of the very same mindset as a 5 year old, the only difference between the 5 year old and the adult is the adult owns a gun.

America must ban ALL GUNS except for law enforcement, the US military, and for "some" private security services. Other than THAT.... NO GUNS FOR YOU. How much more proof do we need that America simply can not handle gun ownership AT ALL!!!!!
Ban those Mother F-kers. And ban the NRA.

You sound like you are projecting your inner 5 year old.

Colorado and much of the west has been open carry for a long time, only new stuff is a preemption law dealing with local carry restrictions across the state. Denver and Boulder both, I belive, have bans on it.

Mass shooting happened at a grocery store in Boulder. Single male in custody. So far seeing reported as 6 or 7 dead.

someone started live streaming just after the first couple of shots. NSFW

Guy that recorded this is a REAL A-HOLE.
He was actually enjoying this.....
More 5 year olds, go figure.
No doubt voted for Trump AND involved in the insurrection.

Cops should have gone ahead and wasted this A-hole and been done with it.

But look at all that gun violence in the rest of the civilized world!!!! Of course Americans are mature enough to handle a deadly weapon!!!!!!

/s tag needed since so many people have a broken sarcasm meter as of late

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Who are these people. People are chilling like there isn't a dead body next to them and a guy with a gun inside.

Bitter white man terrorism is as American as apple pie, it's a dog bites man level of story these days.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Report is 10 dead. Another meaningless loss of life with countless other lives forever changed. This country is a lost cause. The society is increasingly toxic and corrosive which creates monsters that have easy access to lethal weapons.

Yeah we're a shithole country, no doubt whatsoever

there have been over 100 mass-shootings in the US so far in 2021. More than half-a-dozen occurred in between the Atlanta and Boulder ones that got threads on here. To cover them would probably require its own sub-forum.

Though it seems they are defining 'mass shooting' a little more widely than what gets considered sufficient to produce a thread on here, as most of those had multiple people shot, but only one or two fatalities.

Cops should have gone ahead and wasted this A-hole and been done with it.

Clearly we need more good guys with guns so when the cops showed up it would be easy to determine the shooter since many people would be shooting at each other.

Then again the cops would likely just shoot the first black guy with a gun. And if you think that is hyperbole, true story. A black security guard was shot over this very scenario.

Shooting of Jemel Roberson - Wikipedia

So we need more and more guns, amirite????

 

[pmv]

Actually, kind of intriguging that there are so many mass-shootings where the majority of the victims don't die. Suggests most spree-shooters aren't all that determined that people should actually die. That they are indifferent to whether their shots are sufficiently targetted to be fatal or not. Which is both curious in itself - they want to shoot people but are prepared to leave it up to the Gods whether the victims die or not? - and also makes one wonder about the exceptions where the shooter actually does apparently specifically want to kill. Are those guys disturbed in a different way, or just using more deadly kind of firearms, or just better shots?

Well, the cops, upon arrival at the Gold’s site, did handcuff the husbandof one of the female shooting victims. Kept him cuffed for couple of hours. Of course he was not white.

I think it's that the reality of shooting real moving targets that scream is a lot different than shooting paper targets. I think a lot of mass shootings end because the shooter ends up with a wave of 'empathy.' Nearly all stop killing people before they run out of ammo or get confronted by the police.

You are giving way too much benefit of the doubt to these assholes and not enough credit to the EMTs and trauma hospitals. Also not dead from a gun shot, usually still means fucked up for life.

 

[Zorba]

Pictures of the cops in full dress up gear pretending to be soldiers. I wonder how many people died while they were playing dress up. Not sure why we need 100 wanna be soldiers to respond to one guy shooting, I'm sure it has nothing to do with them being massively over funded and over militarized.

 

[digiram]

dammit, can we shut the country back down again? Anyhow, queue the repug solution of armed guards in all grocery stores.

What strikes me is 1: This guy ain't too bright circling the building like that, not knowing if he'd run into the shooter. 2: He may only be alive to film this because the shooter chose the other door to enter.

 

[allisolm]

For what it's worth, the shooter (not convicted yet) was identified as 21 yr-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa from Arvada, about 20 miles away from the supermarket. He has lived in Arvada for a long time. According to his brother, he is anti-social and paranoid.

The victims range in age from 20 to 65.

BOULDER, CA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Colorado in which a lone attacker killed 10 individuals and injured several others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Monday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said Kansas resident Andrew Thompson, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what they really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”
