Edman85 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Romad. Thoughts are with you. I didn't really want to add anything else because I am seeing misinformation abound in other sites I frequent, and my only hope is that people resist the urge to share scanner rumors or social media malinformation while one of our own is on pins and needles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfife Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 ROMAD, hope all is well man. I see you said you were texting so I'm hoping he's all good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Romad and others on this board who have friends and family on campus were some of the first people I thought of, and continue to think of. I’ve heard from those I’m close to and they’re safe. It’s all such bullshit. Hope the NRA, the GOP, and their cronies sleep well tonight knowing their nonsense manufactured right means more than a college kid’s ability to hang out with friends at the student union without worrying about being killed.

romad1 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Glad this is over. Could have been so much worse. It’s still not something i can wrap my mind around. It’s just so horrible. I had been through a few major stressful events in my life like this where adrenaline was at max and the headache afterwards was shattering. So far i’m ok, but my Son who was sheltering in place says he has a bad headache so that tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Sorry for Romad and all the others that had to go through this again. Will this ever stop? We’ve reached a point where the unalienable rights of this county should be changed to Guns, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Life is not valued in America anymore. It is outweighed by the right to own a gun. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I know you all know that I am a shooter and I have a membership at a shooting range. I took my son shooting during Christmas break a couple times and we had a great time. I was actually supposed to go for my monthly range time today. My god...I just can't swallow the BS that attributes to this shooting culture anymore. There do need to be tougher laws and restrictions. I did the analysis of the patterns of the shooting (e.g., "reports of 4 shots at [location]") and deduced that it had to be a handgun so was relieved this villain did not have a long gun.

Motor City Sonics Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Do you wonder why, if I had the money, I'd be moving to Ireland or Spain? It's not because I am scared that anything will happen to me, it's that I can't tolerate living in a country that will continue to collectively shrug it's shoulders at this shit. If you said in 1975 that Ireland would be the safest country in Europe people would have laughed at you. They did it, but we can't - because of lunatics like Wayne Lapierre and the NRA. They have way too much power and way too much say. Even most gun owners want change, and not by a 51-49 margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Campuses are open places, because they should be, but that will go away. We'll have to lock doors, have metal detectors in doorways and shit like that. They'll do that before they do anything about these motherfucking guns. What was this asshole's problem? What motivated him? I am interested in this now because of conspiracy theories and rhetoric, where "elitist" means people who read or study now and how people a pumped of full of hate for someone because they disagree or they have something that these assholes don't. I want us to start holding the people who build this kind of hatred responsible. Freedom of Speech? Not when you KNOWINGLY set people off on murderous rampages. I used to work a golf drive away from the Union. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Asshole's name was Anthony Dwayne McRae. I'm sure we'll know all about his social media within a few hours, if not minutes. Someone knew him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Unfortunately there are probably dozens of men named Anthony McRae in the Lansing and Detroit areas are their lives are going to get dissected too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 If you need a gun to feel tougher or more manly, you're a pathetic twerp, you're a weakling and you're a loser. You're not confident enough to just be a man. Not talking about people who hunt, not talking about people with a gun in the house, it's the ones that have to go around showing you a gun and being prideful of it. Politicians with family portraits with the family all holding weapons, including the children. Fuck these people. All of them. They can all fucking rot. #1 thing killing people under 21 is not alcohol, it's not car accidents, it's guns. Anyone that wants to talk about our country being the greatest, is full of crap. Can't be the greatest with a stat like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I have a co-worker who was trying to argue with me about bump stocks the other day and I just shut that conversation down as it was clearly a religious matter for him. God wants there to be mass killings apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Just a reminder that Canada recently banned handguns and they had far less gun violence than the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
