New Year, New Atrocity.

[sandyRoe]

At least 20 shot and 10 dead in the latest murderous outrage, this time in California.
There will never be any change in American gun laws so where are all the 'good guys' with guns prepared to defend the innocent?

[douglas9401]

Where? Storming government buildings or plotting same.

[Old_Geezer]

All cultures gradually evolve. But until the hard of thinking stop insisting on a right to be armed, change on this issue will be fatally slow.

And, it's not the first this year...

Please don't be flippant Douglas.
It was a Chinese / lunar New Year party.

When I'm being flippant I'll end with a smiley, Pastafreak.

[ToraToraTora]

TBH I don't know why they even bother reporting it.

[anneasquith]

It’s no longer the atrocity it once was , it happens so often .
I’m sorry for you pasta, I know you have lived in UK many years but America is still your country .

[Mozz71]

Strange thing to say Tora. It was important enough to persuade you to create a thread about it.

[Mozz71]

Apologies Tora, for some reason I thought you started the thread. Had a senior moment.

[ToraToraTora]

mozz, I guess I'm on your mind a lot eh?

@15.30.Back to you,sandy.

[sandyRoe]

We've just passed the 51st anniversary of Bloody Sunday when British soldiers shot about 50 people killing 14 of them.
That was a political act, as was the Omagh bomb. Neither were nice but politics can be a filthy, bloody, business.
Am I wrong in thinking a bit of trolling has been going on?

[ynnafymmi]

@17.07.So that makes everything ok,sandy.Shame on you.

[sandyRoe]

You're not Johnny Adair, formerly of the Shankill in Belfast but now exiled by his former colleagues in Ayr, are you?

[douglas9401]

Allowances should be made for bewilderment and mental illness.
Seems that the care available in the north east is not all it could be.

Thank you.

[gness]

Trolling, Sandy. Frequently. And no. I am not excusing the IRA any more than British soldiers can be excused for the atrocities they committed.

[ynnafymmi]

As i have said previously,there will be no peace in Ireland till the last screw of the last coffin of the last IRA apologist and member is finally screwed down.

[sunny-dave]

You forgot a bit, myfanwy

"... and the last British Soldier leaves the province and the historical atrocities (on both sides) are dealt with in an impartial court."
