CNN just reported this. UC Merced in California. 5 students stabbed, assailant killed. Said all 5 are alive and being treated. That's all there was.

Hope they're all okay.

Ban knives

Key here is "all 5 are alive".

Can't say the same for mass shootings.

Ban knives

It's the only way to be sure.

Ban universities.

Ban knives

survivors vs fatalities.

does that not count for something?

 

[FleshLight]

Are knives allowed there?

Finally! I've totally been waiting for this to happen so I could justify my opinion of some other loosely related events.

That's what happens when only one person has a knife. If they all had knives this wouldn't have happened ... right?

This is very tragic, and we wish the best for the victims and their families.

FTFY.

 

[Possessed Freak]

FTFY.

Thanks for telling me what I am allowed to post.

If he were wielding a gun there would probably be 6 dead.

Hope the victims are all okay...

If crazy people didn't exist, no one would be dead or wounded.

Time for Equilibrium eh? GTFO with all of this if stuff. Deal with the facts: A gun was responsible for ending this insanity.

Please keep the P&N crap style of comments limited to P&N and out of Off Topic. Thanks.

My boss' husband was in the building when it happened. This morning the LEO's here were going nuts and nobody really knew what was going on. Pretty crazy. Usually Merced's in the news for top 10 foreclosure cities or drought. Now we can add this to the list!

Seriously though, this is pretty sad and hopefully no one else dies.

I guess my "back in my day we didn't use calculators" line isn't so great in the face of "Well when I go to school I have to wear body armor" all these kids get you use now.

I don't understand why people post this. It's a weak argument if you're anti-gun control.

People post to mock the thousands who call for gun bans every time some tragedy happens.

Off tangent, but I have always been curious about what makes something a P&N topic and what then is allowed in Off-topic. Because this seems to be more of a Politics & News thread to me. Just want to know this difference so I can put future posts in the right forum.

Maybe it's just California Crazy day - now there's a guy with a high powered rifle in a shooting standoff wit the cops in San Diego.

I posted it here because there are always so many pro/anti gun nuts in P&N effing up the threads. I didn't realize how many of them had escaped.
