Flee Diners: Mass Shooting In Los Angeles!

Another shooting in the country. This one in Los Angeles.

BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC IMAGES.

More gun violence and of course nothing but "thoughts and prayers."

Okay, let's first get this out the way.

I usually do the same copy and paste, the poll and the obvious reactions like most Americans who hear about another mass shooting. This time I want to let you know what your tasks are to stay alive if you are involved in a mass shooting.

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.

What to do to protect your life.

1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.

2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.

3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. But if you are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.

Though there have been several handcuffing, I’m hearing LAPD is treating the situation as “suspect at large.” pic.twitter.com/Ms8Mqxnv0I

At this time there is reports of a shooting at Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles. The shooting has one injured. We don't know if the person is a suspect or a victim. 

Given that the mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, America is on the edge. Cause at any given moment, the person will snap and it will be a bloodbath if they obtain a high capacity firearm. The perfect ingredients for a mass shooter: spurn, resentment, objection and determination.

Police are investigating after a man was shot outside Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles Saturday afternoon.

The victim was taken to the hospital in unknown condition.

Los Angeles police say the shooter remains at large. No suspect description was available.

So far one person was shot

LAPD says they have set up a perimeter in the area, and officers are working to clear the very busy Grand Central Market and its basement area, where people were hiding from the shooting.

Is Gun Violence a way of life in the United States?

Yes

No

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms. 

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. 

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.  

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back. 

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
