Another awful attack in the States

[skramamme (OP)]

If terrorism is a violent act motivated my ideology then unfortunately there has been a terrorist attack against planned parenthood in Colorado where a gunman entered and killed three people (including a cop who responded to the initial reports).

And a few weeks ago an extremist bombed a Walmart...did this even make the evening news?

I wonder if they'll use the "mentally ill" trope and not call this by the name that would be used if the gunman was of middle eastern decent or muslim.

Regardless, this latest shooting is a shocking attack on one of (if not the) most important woman's health care services for low income earners, the poor and the homeless. Unfortunately it looks like America is whittling away at Planned Parenthood on an almost daily basis.
Thank god we have universal health care here in Australia (even if we have a shocking record wrt refugees and our indigenous population and are racist and sexist as all fuck, but hey, free health care!).

Too bad all over social media this guy is being hailed as a hero for the babies he saved.

I don't agree with abortion unless it's a case of rape, incest or the health of the woman carrying the baby. But shooting up a damn healthcare clinic is fucking barbaric!

Planned Parenthood does much much more then abort fetuses.

No, it didn't.  The mainstream media force feeds us our information.  Its incredible and one of the first things someone notices when they visit stateside.

  pray tell?

The Russian jet downing receives like, 10% of coverage, police shooting protest in Chicago gets 80% of coverage, and the other 10% goes to sensationalist topics, like that dude in Chicago who killed the 9 yr old.  On any random day throw in the Kardashian's with like 30%...

In reality the Russian jet thing should receive a lion's share of coverage (could start WWIII), and so should the new Da'esh ISIL ISIS  video pledging to attack DC next

Its very disturbing how I am numb to these shootings in the united states, tjat seem to happen on a regular basis. Shootings between gangs go in 24/7 and then random shootings like this have become the norm that i dont even flinch when hearing about em. Im terribly sorry for the victims and their families. I wish i had the answers but it seems as if we are (the USA) are going downhill at a rapid pace.
