Very Strange

[keyplus90]

It is very strange that no one is talking about the attack in USA. Perhaps the reason is that so far no one heard an Allahu Akbar from the attacker. I wonder

So wind in your conspiracy theory neck.

it's been all over mate.

You’re semi-correct.

Whilst there is a thread in existence on the shooting, it’s only attracted 36 responses all day.

This is the worst mass shooting in US history, yet it only gets 36

[sp1814]

(Premature submission)

...yet it only gets 36 posts. However, part of that may be down to the title of the thread.

If only those 50 dead people had have had guns, then Stephen Paddock from the nearby Golf Retirement Home, might have been stopp before it became a massacre. I hope the authorities take notice and make carry guns compulsary.

I don't like Country Music, but that is going too far.

SP - Where I do feel sorry for the victims and my feelings are with their loved ones. On the other hand you just wait and see if someone says that an Allahu Akbar wah heard, a copy of Quran was found, or thee shooter was seen near a masjid (Mosque), or he just accepted islam couple of seconds before pressing the triger. If that happense then I can gurantee you that the number of reponses would go well beyound 200 ( at least).

sp, fair point re the number of responses - I only made one but it said how I felt.

Others may wax long on how America should run itself, I'm not that clever.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh, this is one of those threads is it?

Ludicrous on the back of such a tragedy.

I think the title of Talbot's post should be changed...

I didn't look at his post until I heard news elsewhere of the tragic events and then searched AB wondering why it hadn't been mentioned....when it had, but with a useless title...x

keyplus is right: had the killings been perpetrated by a terrorist, or even just someone who could be assumed to be a terrorist, the title of the thread would have been way more explicit and more angry than "God bless", and there would quite likely have been more than one thread.

I don't think you need be a conspiracy theorist to suspect this, just realistic. A quick search reveals 10 threads on the Boston marathon killings, though some were well after the event.

Keyplus90........the fact that this affair doesn't appear to be terrorist and/or Muslim related may very well be a factor in the number of posts that this has had.

I intimated at 08:00 this morning, that there didn't appear to be any terrorism content, but was very quickly rounded on for so doing. But there still isn't any evidence of terrorism....just a mad American, with a machine gun.

In a couple of days, there will be another incident of people dying at the hand of people with guns....This may be the worst mass shooting in American history, but its hardly unknown, is it ?

[naomi24]

Whilst details are sketchy there's little to say. Perhaps when more is known more will be said. Give it time.

[jim360]

I don't know about anyone else, but I do not, as a rule, comment publicly on these anyway. Certainly not in the immediate aftermath. It's a desperately tragic situation and the casualties are already horrifically high. I hope very much, but I am sure it is a vain hope, that the death toll rises no higher.

And that is all I have to say on this.

According to my GalaxyJ7....ISIS have claimed responsibility and that our killer was a Muslim.

Off you go then, Keyplus. What do you have to say?

[naomi24]

Sorry sqad. Cross-posted.

[ToraToraTora]

yep looks like your buddies are claiming it KP!

[Prudie]

There are now 2 threads and neither has a title that suggests what it's actually about - simple explanation and nothing to with what you want it to be........
