No, it certainly isn't, but at this rate...
I mean, there's gunshots... a bomb... these events essentially are creating their own war zones.
I'm at a loss. I hate it when these events occur, and I wish the House would at least allow a vote on gun control. That NRA money sure is sweet, I guess.

When there is a breakdown between the concept of justice and a lack of motivation for it to be realized in actuality, this is the kind of stuff that happens.
After how many innocent people were killed by police without any reprimands on said officers, I am not surprised that unstable people went off.
In order for civility to be restored throughout the country, the concept of justice needs to be upheld. A crackdown on police that do wrong needs to occur. If you murder someone you need to go away. Period. Just because a person has a badge does not entitle them to be above the law.
The shooters in this case are horrible people and deserve the same justice that will be coming their way and I feel anger and sadness for the families of the deceased police officers, just as I feel for the families of the innocent deceased at the hands of the police.
Until change occurs to rectify things on a societal level, this stuff will happen.
When will all of this crap stop.

Makes you shake your head that a guy can walk around like that and not a single person calls the police, and only a couple people bother to snap photos.
That guy walks around here and he wouldn't last 2 minutes before its dealt with.

One would hope we can chalk this up to a couple of crazies, much like most of the other mass shootings or bombings in the US, but this one feels more like the manifestation of severe civil unrest.

The American gun culture is an amazing thing. Having the ability to walk around like that during a protest is insane.

Because carrying a rifle of that kind and in that manner is a Constitutionally protected right.

I've spent a good bit of time in Dallas. Plenty of black/Latino in DPD, no doubt several are among the shot. It's already needless and somebody sniping police is already irrational, but something else to think about.

Man I just don't understand. If I saw someone carrying like that down the street I'd crap my pants and bail hard. The culture is insane.
