Captain Hindsight Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It gets old reading about another shooting every single day. After the Orlando Shooting, not one person in my office said anything. So far this morning, nothing about last night. We are becoming numb to senseless violence. Very scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But give your coworkers the benefit of doubt here as any conversation about these events could get very work-inappropriate very quickly. So much senseless violence and killing. Everywhere.

So far this morning, nothing about last night. We are becoming numb to senseless violence. Very scary I'm not sure that it's numbness. It is hard to avoid political tangents when discussing things like this and a lot of people know better than to bring their politics into the office. People can be very spiteful.

BringBackFergy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I guess the fourth shooter has been killed by the police. The police sent in a robot that got up next to the last shooter and dropped a bomb next to him. BOOM! Problem solved. Sad sad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can be very spiteful. Something I had not considered, but could be very true I hope that is the case and not just numbness to our new normal. I never thought I'd watch a video of major city in the US under attack from sniper fire. Its a like a movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I don't know if I'm impressed or afraid the police have that capability. I'm impressed. Like I said in the "Police will patrol tailgate lots" thread, if people are having a good time and not breaking the law, I have no problem with police patrolling and having enhanced weaponry. Makes me fell safer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Exactly, then we want the police to walk around people's yards in Orchard Park with full police powers... Yeah, that will work out really well. Not sure how you draw that conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
