Very sad.

I'm happy guns aren't that easy to get in Europe, I wish the best to everybody he cared about.

Real shame to hear, excellent Cruiser.

Americans kill each other everyday because of how proud they are of "the right to bear arms". After someone kills someone or multiple people then everyone looks at each other and wonders what can be done. 'MURICA!!

This is just an idiotic statement. Inner-city Atlanta just isn't a great place. If the guy didn't have a gun, he'd have stabbed him.

This happens all over the "great" usa, nobody ever tries to fix the real problem, they just make excuses, because "we have the right to bear arms" . In this case "inner city atlanta" is to blame I guess. Next week it'll be another city to blame, or maybe a cop will be to blame after he shoots someone who is a danger to society. Anyone lucky enough like me that lives outside the US will understand.

You live outside it, yet you act as if you are an expert. Good deal. Take this BS elsewhere. Not the thread for it.

No it doesn't, and take your political BS elsewhere. This thread isn't about that.

They werent that tough for the Muslim terrorists in Paris to get were they?

Some places in Europe are so limp-wristed that even the COPS dont have guns when they need them!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBtct-z9JS8

investigating that one, they have found several more arms caches all over france and belgium,
and this is coming off that charlie hebdo thing. none of these incidents involve legal guns anyways
so this garbage about americans have too many gun rights is pure ignorance. none of these people
ever apply for permits, so rights to guns have nothing to do with it. criminals do stuff they aren't
legally allowed to do. that is what makes them criminals. when this guy who shot bell gets caught
the same people complaining about criminals running around committing crimes will be saying
that anything more serious than a slap on the wrist is barbaric punishment and complaining
about how we have too many people in prison. these bad areas are all run by their bretheren
moonbats where the nuclear family (mommy and daddy raising kids) has been decimated. it's
not just the murder rates in these areas, but the unwed teenage birthrates, dropout rates, truancy
rates, awful standardized test scores, disease rates, all around crime rates, trash all over the streets,
no operating businesses, complete societal failure. anybody who claims to care about this stuff
should be doing everything possible to restore the concept in these communities of waiting until
you graduate and have a job and are in your 20's and married before having kids. all these
young murderers roaming the streets come from somewhere, and it's parents who had no
business being parents and who have no idea where their kids are and don't care.

You're painfully confused about Americans and ghetto savages. Normal, middle America are responsible gun owners who own for protection. Bottom rung, live off the govt and taxpayers ghetto America kill each other over drugs and crime because they have no parents, no guidance, no jobs, no brains and no life. Know the difference.

RIP, Mr. Bell. I look forward to circumstances behind this death. Hopefully they're not as sad as Forrest's passing.

[diddy]

forrest, now bell, atl realy seems a no good place to live.

Atlanta is a cesspool of black-on-black crime and murder. My parents used to live near there...

Black lives ALSO matter when killed by other blacks, although some folks dont seem to want to admit that.

RIP O'Neil Bell Remember his exciting fights on USA Network & ESPN

Nah son, black lives only matter when they aren't ended by other blacks, which is less than 1% of the time according to the census bureau. When something happens that rarely it's a helluva story! When something happens every day, well, that's not "news" is it? Whites make up 77% of the population in the US, yet blacks are still 27x more likely to kill blacks than any other race. Let those numbers marinate.

I'm from London & I am very anti gun. And I've been Stateside for 19 years now.

Telling Americans to ban guns is like telling British/Irish to ban beer. It's part of the culture.

Would America be better without guns? Absolutely.

Would Britain/Ireland be better without beer? Absolutely?

But it's important to the people to have that right so that's that.

90% of people are responsible gun owners just like a large percent of UK/Ire people are responsible drinkers (probably a much lower number).

We humans have a lot more to worry about with our abuse of the planet than a few idiots shooting each.

This is sadly true but has more to do with social economics than skin colour.

Since the Civil War Black Americans have been pushed into under educated shitholes. I worked nightshift in a casino in North Miami (where Trayvon Martin was from) & the people were the most horrible pudenda I have ever met. Nasty shit racist people. I'm a white Londoner & my Missus is Thai/American & we were both abused more in any night in that casino that in any year in my previous 15 years of the casino industry.

But they weren't rude because they were black Americans. They were shit people because they are from a shit background. Take people away from that & they will change.

there are well over 4 million legal civilian gun owners in the uk.
the reason they aren't shooting each other and they are in the south side of chicago is obvious.
you are ignoring the obvious. spoons don't make people fat. 2/3 of gun deaths are suicide, and
the united states does not have a higher suicide rate than these gun control utopias. in london
they slit their wrists and hand themselves. is that somehow more cultured?
if you get into the gun homicides, it is almost enitrely confined to certain areas and due to illegal
guns, areas that conventiently have strict gun control laws but non-existent enforcement and
again, most importantly, the highest teen out of wedlock birth rates. the destruction of the family
is the source of all this mess.

Mate, when you say I am ignoring the obvious - what do you mean?

Sorry, I am a little confused by your post.

No offence meant.
