Mass Shooting in Boise....Madness.

[fncceo]

Wow, I usually value your opinions but this one is just stupid.

How much easier is it to accomplish something if you have access to capital even if it weren't a tremendous amount? Would could having access to money buy you that would help you climb out of a dire situation you were born into?

I've spent the last six years working very closely with some of the least successful barely sentient creatures every born on this earth and they all have one thing in common ... they are wake every day (or afternoon) with on overwhelming drive to screw their life up even more than it's already screwed.

Some of them came from screwed up families, many more of them came from good families. A few grew up as wards of the system, most did not.

Every person starts with a tabula rasa. Everyone in this country has the same capital ... free education on which to build. What they decide to do with that capital, even at a very early age, can make more difference than coming from generations of poverty.

People invest capital in great ideas. Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, Ralph Lauren, Richard Branson and a host of others around the world came up with good ideas, attracted the capital, and made huge successes of themselves.

One thing they all had in common. They all started with nothing, used their brains and their drive to make something of themselves. I don't think any one of them would describe there success as easy.

Because we do nothing to prevent more gun deaths.

Drugs? Illegal and restricted use

Automobiles? All sorts of safety mandates and restrictions during use.

alcohol? Restrictions on purchase and use.

Guns? Everywhere with no restrictions. Funny how an out of touch supreme courts ignores 217 years of prescient with the Heller decision.

Our government has taken steps; Applications, 21 years of age, background checks, etc.,

And yet, it's easier to buy, tobacco, booze and drugs (as it seems, even though I have never used drugs).

Keep in mind that alcohol related deaths aren't all related to drunk driving. This also includes the long term consequences that drinking has on the body, along with tobacco.

Guns, everywhere? Hyperbole. Can I go to my local grocer and buy a gun? Can I go to my to corner convenient store and pick up a 9mm with my gallon of milk? Now maybe where you live it's common to hear guns and be around gun deaths, maybe. But guns are not "everywhere".
Yes, it's not hard to find a gun shop and if you're legally allowed at that time to purchase one, you can. But guns are not everywhere and outside of police, if you see one in and or around where you live, then it's probably owned illegally. Gun owners that I know, you wouldn't even know they owned one.

Care to answer why "gun deaths" are more important than all other preventable deaths I have provided statistical data for or will you conveniently ignore the question?

Very true and well said. Everyone has access to opportunity. Everyone, everyday can wake up and make a life changing decision.

Good Post.

The only problem is on other threads, you'll swear that 1/2 the nation was cheated by some super secret organization that disenfranchised them. Maybe you should tell your camp that nobody cheated them; they simply got beat?

You want every one to have guns. This us the price they pay.

It doesn't matter. If guns weren't handed out like free hamburgers, it would eliminate idiots getting them.
The country is saturated with them. It will get worse by the month.

I never get free guns ... except at work.

So you think the reason people are poor is because they consciously make the decision to be poor?

I said:
It is likely their choices that keep them [in poverty]
This is not the same as saying
It is likely they choose to remain poor.
Try again.

This is a lie.

Just being lazy alone won't make you poor. It also requires a fair amount of stupidity, low emotional IQ, and bad decision making skills.

A lot of things have to come together to make someone chronically poor.

Plus no one in the U.S. starves to Death.At least kids.The Left trotsky's out that
lie every few years.
Blacks are notorious for not studying.Mainly due to the appearance.
Going to and from school with a stack of books is mocked in the Hood.
Another false notion is why White are trying to force their whiteness onto
blacks.Just ask yerself is there a problem with Whites killing other whites.
Or with Blacks killing other blacks.
We are now in the throes of Mind control.Where Psychological warfare is
the new war.Where language and Social Media are acttive in
Misinformation Disinformation.Meaning how to lie and make the Truth
sound like a lie,instead.Part of Gaslighting.

You would be a fool to think that chronic poverty is a racial thing... it most assuredly is not.

In the redacted report, Idaho State Police Trooper James Love wrote that on April 2, 2021, Jacob J. Bergquist entered the statehouse with a holstered handgun on his hip, admitted he had a felony conviction in Illinois, and told the receptionist for Gov. Brad Little that he wanted to interview the governor about his thoughts on persons convicted of felonies being able to carry guns. According to the report, Bergquist also said he was "trying to get the word out to others that they too could carry in Idaho."

The trooper said he asked Bergquist why he was armed if he was a felon, and that Bergquist replied by saying he could under Idaho code 18-310, and that the trooper should check it out.
The ISP trooper referred information from the investigation to the Ada County Prosecutor's Office, and asked that the office investigate potential charges for violation of Idaho Code sections 18-3316 (unlawful possession of a firearm) and 18-310.
Bergquist was not charged in connection with the statehouse incident.

From the piece....

The Editorial Board
Mon, October 25, 2021, 6:51 PM


Idaho has had two mass shootings in five months. The latest happened here, and it has taken two lives from us.

America has faced a rising tide of gun violence and mass shootings. Even the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought life to a halt, did not stop the rise.

Until last year, Idaho was one of the few states in the nation that had not had a modern mass shooting, at least according to most sources. So it was easy to think that it couldn’t happen here, that we were somehow immune from what was happening so often all around us.
We were never immune. We were only lucky.

This year, that luck did not hold.

Three were injured at the mass shooting at Rigby Middle School in May. Another student at the same middle school was arrested with a gun in September. Now, according to current reports, four people, including a police officer, have been wounded in the mass shooting at the Boise Towne Square Mall. Two others died.
Whether or not these incidents met the technical definition of a mass shooting, they certainly felt like mass shootings. Do we need to wait for an incident that does meet the definition before we act?

The victims today are not only those who were murdered and wounded.
There are dozens of people who huddled, terrified, in stores, hoping the shooter wouldn’t find them.
And all of their friends and relatives, wondering whether the text messages they were receiving now would be the last they would hear from their loved ones.

We always thought we were safe in Idaho, that something like that couldn’t happen here. Monday’s shooting at Boise Towne Square shattered our illusions of safety, that we were somehow immune to problems that happen only in “those other places.” But really, it was only a matter of time. With gun violence and mass shootings in our country at crisis levels, it was bound to happen here at some point. This was just our turn.
Tonight is for mourning.

Tomorrow, we need to figure out what to do about this. We cannot allow this to keep happening.

Moron.

Over 330 million people in the U.S.

12 individuals committed mass public shootings in 2019.

total killed for that year….73.

Deer kill 200 people eqch year.

ladders kill 300 people.

lawn mowers between 90-100

bathtubs 350 people

2018….10 individuals did mass public shootimgs

2020….2

Mass public shootimgs arw the rarest of rare events.

This shooting in particular is more than likely a gang shooting and not a mass public shooting and the shooter likely has a long criminal record with multiple felonies including gun charges.

Idiots like you refuse to care
About the democrat party releasing repeat gun offenders over and over again.

These criminals, released by democrats do almost all of the shootings in this country….and you dont care

Coroner IDs suspect in Boise mall shooting that killed 2

Authorities have identified the suspect in a Boise, Idaho mall shooting as 27-year-old Jacob Bergquist

abcnews.go.com

The suspect in a Boise mall shooting that killed two people and injured four others has died, the Boise Police Department said Tuesday.
The Ada County Coroner identified the suspected shooter as Jacob Bergquist, a 27-year-old Boise man. Coroner Dotti Owens said Bergquist's cause of death was still pending, but he died late Tuesday morning at a hospital.
Owens identified one of the people killed as Jo Acker, a 26-year-old security guard who worked at the mall. Family members said she died while trying to stop the shooter.
“Jo you were always kind of loving .... you always had such an enormous heart of gold,” Acker’s sister Shawna Lee Lannigan wrote on Facebook. “You were and are and always will be a hero. I love you to the ends of this earth and beyond.”
The Boise Police Department first got the call that shots had been fired at the Boise Towne Square Mall at about 1:50 p.m., with callers describing a white man dressed in black, in possession of multiple guns.
In a prepared statement released Tuesday afternoon, the police department said evidence shows the shooter was first contacted by a security guard who was shot and killed at the scene. Police said the shooter then fired several rounds, shooting a glass escalator and a second victim who died of his injuries at a hospital.
The Ada County Coroner identified the slain man as Roberto Padilla Arguelles, 49, of Rupert, who was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The shooter then walked through the mall, firing rounds into the floor, which led to a 52-year-old woman and a 23-year-old woman being injured. Another man was injured when he fell while trying to escape the mall.
Bergquist was known to Boise police from previous reports of disorderly conduct or trespassing, Lee said.
“We have had contact with him in the past. We did not have any reason to arrest him,” he said.
Bergquist never worked at the mall, but was frequently there and had previously been contacted by security guards for disorderly behavior, Lee said.
