[juneau]

Guessing anybody who watches the news has heard of the deavsting news coming out of England today.

A taxi driver in northern England seemingly had a psychotic break. Firstly killing his passenger and then going on a murderous rampage spanning a hundred miles or so.

It started at around 10:30am and finished with the gunman killing himself around 3 and a half hours later.

12 confirmed dead so far.
25 or more injured.
30 crime scenes under investigation.

That is insane.

Got to love our crazy world. I guess he used a legal gun that he kept in his vehicle?

Yep. He used a shotgun. One of the few guns that you can legally own in the UK.

The killings were so random as you can see from the first video i posted.

It must have been a scary few hours in Cumbria. Not knowing where he would strike next.

Unfortunately no. In China lately there have been a series of these rampages at elementary schools, only the murderers used knives and meat cleavers...legally bought, perhaps.

I saw this today. I was really sorry to hear it.

So, I guess they'll blame not enough gun laws like China is going to blame lack of machette and knife laws.

Lol, that's kind of what I was getting at. Everyone will just have to eat whole vegetables then, with knives outlawed.

Dont they use sticks to eat with in China? Who needs a knife.

Yes, and lots of them. (an old article...didn't feel like searching for the most up to date) http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Choppi.....-a0150864927

China is the world's leading maker of disposable wooden chopsticks. It produces 45 billion pairs each year. That translates into an annual loss of roughly 25 million trees

Sorry, back to the thread.
