How sad that this was neither shocking nor surprising and got absolutely no emotional response from me when I read the headline.
Why do they have a statement from the investment firms’s pr department? What does that add to the story? Wgaf what their thoughts are on the matter? It’s really strange.
… or as republicans say, Tuesday.
The ONLY ONLY ONLY way for this to have been Prevented was if SHE Killed the Gunman FIRST! And the ONLY ONLY ONLY way for HIM to prevent his own death was if he killed HER FIRST! So as a Pro Life Save The Children Republican I see NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER with this!
I’ve been to this place, ages ago. It was the kind of place you would bring a baby to without a second thought. Crazy that it’s come to this.
What’s crazy is someone saying “It’s somewhere you’d bring a baby to without a second thought” about a fucking shopping mall
I’m not going to argue with you - living as we are car-free now in a walkable city it’s unthinkable for me. But when I was in America, with a car and a baby, it made perfect sense. There were fewer viable third spaces (aside from parks, which is harder for an infant on a rainy day), and just about every viable third space (where we were) was built around car infrastructure.
All that to say you’re not quite wrong, but there’s nuance and the solutions are necessarily political.

Is it too soon to talk about gun law reforms?
What would you like to see? Washington has a lot of gun control.
You need gun control everywhere in the country. Unfortunately it’s too easy for people to just buy them in the next town and drive them in. That is not a reason to keep letting it happen, of course, but it is why “[city/state] does have laws and there are still problems” arguments are kinda worthless.
And then you gotta wait a long-ass time because even cutting off supply there are already more guns than people in the U.S… Best time to plant a tree and all that means ya’ll need to hurry.
So you would want a near ban on all guns? Just curious what you mean by gun control everywhere.
One thing that I’m sure will come out of this story is the gun is stolen. Washington has safe storage laws, but if you report your gun stolen, you are not liable for any crimes committed with it. It happened when a man shot a mother and child in Seattle and the original owner was okay because he reported it stolen. The government should be prosecuting these negligent gun owners.
So does nearly every country with extremely low gun violence rates. Now, tell us that doesn’t count for some reason.
Yeah but here in France there was a mass shooting in Paris during the terrorist attack of 2015 (like, almost yesterday but 9 years ago), and Trump had a great speech about it during a (NRA?) conference when he said that it wouldn’t have happened if we had guns! Very smart, MIT and stuff, but no shark, no, sharks bad!
So what gun control do you think we should enact? It is a direct question. No need to be passive aggressive.
Obviously anything I say will be invalidated for some reason or other. Can we skip to the part where you say that other countries have policies that would never work here?
If you don’t want to discuss it, why post?
Is that why there are kids having a gunfight in a mall?
So it is too soon to talk about gun reform laws since you obviously don’t want to. Got it.
I was taking about gun law reforms.
Not gun reform laws.
Either way, you’re not ready to talk about it.
Not enough to curb the fetish, apparently.
We had a shooting in the USA in the last 24 hours, how insensitive of you to raise the topic
Yes, let’s discuss how unnecessary they are after all the shooting stops
gUnS dOn’T kIlL pEoPlE, pEoPlE kIlL pEoPlE…
Maybe we need the right to bear people.
Alderwood Mall? That’s the nicer one! If it were the Everett Mall, I’d be unsurprised, but Alderwood? That’s wild.
You mix teenagers and guns and it doesn’t really matter how nice the mall is.
As the parent of a teenager, I know exactly how moody they can get and how quickly their moods can change from happy to “I will fucking kill a motherfucker.” I wouldn’t give a teenager a gun in a million years.
But would you give 1 million teenagers to one gun for a year?
Ask Putin
But only a good teenager with a gun can stop a bad teenager with a gun.
The KFC needs a machinegun nest, and Dunkin should keep some landmines in those donut trays.
The minimum age of enlistment should give you nightmares.
The idea of mandatory enlistment gives me nightmares. But also the fact that you can be old enough to kill but not old enough to be trusted with alcohol or tobacco. That is just ludicrous on the face of it. This nation is a madhouse.
