How low journalism has sunk...

[takncarabizniz]

Why was this even allowed to be published?
It is beyond disgusting that any news source would find it appropriate conversation to put into print.  I wonder if the reporter is a perv.

we have 17 kids and teachers killed in another assault weapons related slaughter and trump and others ignore the fact it was an assault weapon used once again, and this is what bothers you?

[takncarabizniz]

And that is exactly why this kind of story is so disturbing.

Yep. He told several he was going to do it and he did because nobody did anything about it.

Your solution is a gun ban?

[Oscar_LaVista]

he never made any statement that he could have been arrested for or committed for.  why are you such an idiot?  even if he had been given a little black mark on his background check, he could just go to a gun show or a private seller and pay cash and no background check. or he could pay a scuzzy friend or stranger to buy a gun for him.  what the fuck are you talking about?  this has been pointed out to you a zillion times and you keep going for that lame ass defense of assault weapons...how about the crazed rich white guy in vegas?  what excuse do you have for him using assault weapons and high capacity clips to slaughter 58 people and would 500....500... in a ten minute shooting spree from 300 yards....what is your lame ass excuse for that?  and for all the others where there were no obvious mental issues enough to make him go to a gun show?

And we're off topic again...wow.

[Oscar_LaVista]

so, this story is out of line, and i agree, it seems unnecessary.  but stories reported here about hillary running a child porn ring coming from gateway pundit or infowars is apparently okay since it did not make you feel the need to respond, but this goofy article did?

The original story was written in Cosmopolitan, a women's publication, then rewritten in Yahoo Lifestyle, also viewed mostly by women. Therefor the story was meant for women

So why did Takncara bring that story, meant for women, to a forum viewed mostly by men.  To me, that was more perverted, than the story or the journalist who wrote it...

Really? How is it that several school aged kids have been arrested around the country since the Florida shooting for making threats to copy the Cruz kid. In some of these instances they found weapons and explosives in the homes. In others, it was just a threat getting the kids a stay in the cross bar hotel. One, not far from where I live, is facing up to twenty years in prison for his threat.

And we're off topic again...wow.

You are right. The story is unnecessary, and the thread is getting off topic.

[takncarabizniz]

Because it was a headline story on Yahoo news...
Ugh...

tell me what he said that could be verified that could get him arrested.....have you ever heard of the first amendment?  it comes right before the only one most gun nuts seem to give a shit about.  it is generally pretty damn hard to arrest someone for making a very unspecific threat, especially if it is a teenager that claims he heard it.  and almost all so-called threats could be explained away as a "bad joke."  lots of republicans and right wingers and even trump have talked about "second amendment solutions" concerning hillary and obama, nugent said bad jokes about them sucking on his machine gun, about them being lynched...in public, at his dumbass "shows," and he never got arrested. did you see any of the interviews with the middle class couple who had taken him in?  they claimed they never saw him act weird or say anything out of line about mass killings.  who you going to believe?  did you see them?  very believable.  maybe somebody checked with them and decided to let it go.
