Mass Shooting at Video Game Tournament in Jacksonville Leaves Multiple Dead:

Multiple people were killed in a mass shooting during a video game tournament at a shopping and dining complex in downtown Jacksonville, Florida, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Sunday afternoon. Preliminary reports say four people were killed of the 11 people who were shot at the Jacksonville Landing, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the incident.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said on Twitter there were "multiple" fatalities and "many" transported to hospitals. One suspect was dead at the scene, the Sheriff's Office said, and it was not known if there was another suspect.

Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida is treating at least three patients that were involved in the gaming shooting incident, Hospital spokesman Pete Moberg tells CNN. All of the patients are in stable condition, Moberg says.

    I have to wonder how you function on a daily basis. Like, if you react to every piece of bad news by blaming the Jews, doesn't that mean your whole world view and value system is Jewish in essence? I mean, at least the Norwegian right wingers have their pagan fascist fantasies separating them from the Judo-Christian traditions. You... You see Jews at every corner... You believe everything is related to Jews... You're basically just a self-hating Jew at this point.

    Seriously Ethanol, what the fuck?

    Now that is not a very fair assessment. First of all, I blame not only the Jews but also the Blacks and Mexicans. Second, yes, I may badmouth the Jews here and there but I also consider them talented people and, if they don't like me, worthy opponents. Sadly, some stereotypes are true: Whites lie, Mexicans are loud, Blacks steal, and people with even a fraction of Jewish blood are some degree of Israel-firster.

    There is only one nation which should come first to all living in the USA, and that is the United States of America.

        I have yet to see any actual evidence any of those assholes are just in it for the lulz... No, a South Park story-arc doesn't count.
