13522573, Marines attack Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Sep-29-25 06:26 AM
My wife is from Southport so this one hits close to home. I’ve been to this bar on the water where a Marine opened fire from a boat. That shit is crazy.
Then we have the Morman church attack.
Can’t blame this on the left or on trans.
Feels like this is going to get worse every week now.

13522574, Like I said in the "Human Nature..." post: this is paradox time for the USA Posted by c71, Mon Sep-29-25 06:56 AM
Paradox of:
It's VERY DISTURBING ORDER IS RAPIDLY COLLAPSING (understatement)
...yet...
...unlike in deceptively "normal/peaceful" times....we all have now a CLEAR CHOICE OF WHAT TO PRIORITIZE/FOCUS ON/EMPHASIZE
Not fun AT ALL....but stakes are clear unlike in "normal" times.

13522577, supposedly he lived in Oak Island Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Sep-29-25 09:15 AM
which is close to this place and its where he docked his boat and got caught.
Southport is filled with mostly tourists, retirees and locals.
and a lot of the locals have issues with alcohol and drugs.

13522578, yeah last night when I saw it happened in NC i was like wow Posted by mikediggz, Mon Sep-29-25 09:21 AM
close to home

13522581, this is home.. well, my wife is from there Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Sep-29-25 11:54 AM
we got married in Southport and go to visit a few times a year.
this pub is located right next to the Marina and boats are going in and coming out all the time. No one would ever think someone would open fire from a boat.

13522576, Old individualistic order giving way to communal cooperation Posted by c71, Mon Sep-29-25 09:13 AM
Collective unconscious it's in the air (like the Great Depression keeps being brought up)
As much as people EMPHASIZED they wanted ESTABLISHED THEIR OWN DOMAINS/KINGDOMS AND LUUUUUVVVVED THEM...EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT ORDER
.. that illusion is giving way to EVERYTHING HAS TO BE COOPERATIVE/COMMUNAL AGAIN (BECAUSE "SURPRISE" CRISIS AGAIN)
Oshay Duke Jackson - what Elon Musk is doing to Black people is pure evil
https://youtu.be/2_OH5csrYu4?si=fZU5XICmYRybdmu9
Oshay's video ends on the INCREASINGLY COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS IN THE AIR REALIZATION THAT BLACK PEOPLE "SEEM" TO BE FORCED INTO WORKING TOGETHER AGAIN TO SURVIVE
(Paradox it's evil to go through a crisis - but seems to be the only way for real values: people working together can reemerge)
Proverbs 27:12 the prudent see danger and take refuge; the simple go on blind and suffer harm.

13522583, Republicans pretend that cities are war zones Posted by DJR, Mon Sep-29-25 02:43 PM
The politicians present them as these super dangerous places(even though they often live in and travel to these same cities), while small town people who haven’t left their home county since ‘96 buy into it and are terrified of big cities.
Meanwhile in reality you can randomly get shot up while eating dinner on the ocean, at a concert, at the movies, getting groceries, at church, at school, etc…..supposedly “safe” activities in broad daylight in supposedly “safe” areas. And these people that are terrified of cities really couldn’t care less about any of that. They’ll keep doing all those activities without a second thought. But visit the downtown area of the nearest big city……not a chance.
They live in an alternate reality.

13522592, had a coworker tell me she LOVED Pittsburgh Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Sep-30-25 11:47 AM
I asked if she had visited the city and she said “fuck no, I locked my doors and drove straight threw it”
I told her she was acting like it was filled with 75 mph Zombies who would throw themselves on her car
and then I heard a year later she sold her house, divorced her husband and ran off with another coworker who was married.
Another time coworkers were talking about Charlotte like it was Escape from NY. The office was 20 minutes outside the city. Its wild when you realize these people are scared of us (I do mean Black folk). Like if I didn’t work with them.. they would be terrified seeing me walk down the street.

Not to make light or normalcy about these shootings but I think its very interesting how we’ve lived through various phases of mass shootings, yet without a change in gun manufacturing and arms rights, there are periods of back to back chaos and those of very little chaos. For instance the postal shootings from the 80’s to the 90’s and four in 2006. Most recent was in 2022.
There’s little to no in-depth investigation on why they were so ramped then nor that nor a look into the years in which “peace” were had.
At the root of most of the 80-90’s postal killings it appears to be toxic work relations/power dynamics hence the reason supervisors were mainly targeted.
Most recent mass shootings (cept in cases of racial motivation) seem the same but not quite because there’s no identifiable intended target of power, but more aimed at establishment. For instance, Church, NFL office, bar, school.

13522593, They used to call it going Postal Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Sep-30-25 11:48 AM
but the reason they don’t do studies is because its white males.
This is why they pulled that report from the gov website
Most mass shootings are white males who lean right.
