What the Indy FedEx Shooting Means for INGO

[DadSmith]

In all fairness, the kid was only 19. He was just a kid. What the hell did he know?

My three boys and daughter got themselves out of bed dressed with their own alarm clock for school once they got to 5th grade. They made their way to the bus stop, they washed their clothes, helped clean up and did other chores around the house inside and out. A grade of B+ got instant correction A- was as low as I would accept in any class. My two oldest boys joined the army before turning 18 with my consent and finished high school and went off to basic training. My youngest boy actually listened to dad and got into the medical field. My daughter has an associate degree and is in a management position at a large tree service company. She is also a mother of three of my grandchildren.

All that said I think it is a parent's job to make sure the children are prepared and grown up to be productive citizens once they leave the home. Not a 19yo boy watching My little Pony for crying out loud.

So after this tragic event, put on my tinfoil hat, and wondered what the repercussions might be. Obviously, or moderator work hard trying to keep things in order, but they can’t possibly see everything. There have been times when some of us have crossed some lines based on frustration with the political climate. After this shooting, is it naive to think that sites such as ours wouldn’t, at least in the brief future, might start having little more traffic from folks trying to gauge the temperature in the local area? I don’t think it is, and think we should be mindful of it. Thoughts?

I'll probably make a better attempt at checking my spelling and grammar following this post.

He must have been on some powerful drugs, look at this:

Indianapolis FedEx shooting suspect was part of My Little Pony subculture of 'bronies': Report

The 19-year-old accused of shooting and killing eight people inside and around the FedEx facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, was reportedly a part of the adult following of My Little Pony.

www.washingtonexaminer.com

He was addicted to a little girl's TV show. And the media is calling said show "far right."

Bro, I have kids and watched the newer My Little Pony cartoons with my daughter. While being pretty funny overall, with the writers throwing in some throwback jokes to pop culture stuff from the 80s, 90s, and 00s and some just generally funny and heartfelt writing, it was far from being anything far-right. In fact, when it could have gone left it didn't; on the whole it was a cute show that ran fairly down the middle.

And maybe that's the problem: it's not far ENOUGH left, so I guess that means it's right wing. SMDH.

It was just a pony.
It's not like he was in search of 72 virgins.

As for what I think this means for Indy? More of Stinky Shoe’s radical democrat agenda and unconstitutional gun grabs, as he and his administration continue to vilify guns and anything Conservative, while he’s crouching in fear during the next riot, blowing .214 on the PBT.

As for me:

It would be foolish to assume that any sort of folk from LEO to alphabet agencies to anti-gunners to socialists to BLM to ANTFA aren't lurking to monitor discussions.

Haven't they always?

No reason it will change INGO. We are well monitored by staff and by our own members.

19 ain’t a kid. But I digress. If you’re a cop, and a hone gets burglarized in your beat, you tend to focus a bit more the security of neighborhoods, rather than other stuff, for a while. I’m thinking along the same lines with this incident. While we are a collective group of knuckleheads, I don’t think there’s really anyone who a threat to anything like what we just saw. Let’s not give anybody an excuse to villify us anymore than we already are.

Sounds like a good reason not to push buttons, doesn't it?

 

[printcraft]

What does it mean?

Pretty much the same thing as what it would mean to a beer and wine aficionado website when someone robs a liquor store and kills a clerk or someone drives drunk and kills a pedestrian.

Cut a voter a break.

This site is self-funding and self-supporting, why would some brony ******** shooting people at FedEx change anything for us?

What kind of antidepressants were in his drug cabinet? What person helped him get another gun or did the Feds allow it even though he was red flaged and should have been in NICS system. It is the way I understood our red flag law. So someone bought him a gun or the Feds gave it to him for such an event. I've said it before I think the Feds find these people and have their fingerprints on the pill bottles and the weapons used.

The ATF supposedly traced his guns and said he bought them legally late last year (well after his 72 hour psych hold.

And since they aren't saying what kind of firearm he used, I think we can assume that it wasn't an AR15.

I had read in one article that the weapon used was possibly a .223 caliber, but they could not confirm it. However, at this point I wouldn't assume anything even though I think it was just wishful reporting on their part to further push their agenda.

I've been a member of Ingo going on 12 years now and I've never known any fellow members to have committed mass murder nor am I aware of anyone that has committed any type of crime using a firearm that was purchased thru an Ingo private sale sans background checks.

I would say that's a pretty stellar track record. We do a pretty good job as a 2A community of policing our own.

Ingo is not the problem.

I'll wait and see

You'll have at least a 30 day wait...

I don't see what he was saying as INGO being a problem. I saw it as more of a warning to be mindful of what is said, so that the popo don't come knocking on your door asking questions about your posts.

That all goes back to my point about Ingo doing a pretty good job of policing our own. If there is a member that pushes the boundry they get called out on it.

It's not a reflection of Ingo as a whole. Anyone paying any type of attention can see that.

OK. If you all do not see what Kut is trying to say I am slightly disappointed.

"AN" we are not solely self supporting peoples. The site support helps a lot. Yes. But no. We rely on advertisers just like any other forum so yes, that why we try and stay family friendly.

Now, there have been in threads warnings posted and bans have been handed out.

Slow your role knuckleheads. Or you will be set off.
