Gunman kills 12 people in Cumbria, England


Recommended Posts

Twelve people were killed by a gunman who went on the rampage across Cumbria in north-west England.

 

Taxi driver Derrick Bird shot dead a colleague in the town of Whitehaven, before driving through the countryside apparently targeting people at random.

 

Eleven others were injured, three critically and five seriously.

 

Mr Bird's body was found in a wooded area in Boot in the Lake District, where a shotgun and a rifle fitted with a telescopic sight were recovered.

 

This sort of thing in the UK is extremely rare. Anyone from this area of England?

Its is very rare thankfully. This is why the 2nd ammendment belongs with injuns and grizzlies. Must be pretty shit to live in a rough area of the US, constantly thinking a fight could get you shot (or am i off the mark here?). The papers over here try to make a problem over gun crime and knife crime, but in reality it only happens to a small number of black gang members.

thank god i live in the bahamas and not in america where this happens on a daily basis

yea it is. it doesn't even take a fight though.. you can't go to parts around here in the daytime if you're white. call the cops and they'll literally laugh at you if you're in certain parts.

 

this is terrible though, as it usually is when putzes have to take random people 'with them'.

All it would have taken was one law-abiding firearm-carrying citizen to drop the guy before he took 12 people out.

Yeah. Lets not go bringing numbers or shit like that into it.

And all it takes is one non-law abiding citizen to steal the gun kill the family of the owner, and then go on a rampage of his own.

 

Guns have one purpose - they are used to kill. Look at any society with strict gun control laws, and look at the number of gun deaths.

 

Correlation doesn't always equal causation, but it's a pretty safe bet in this case.

Should've caught the loonball by surprise while he was reloading. I'm from Cumbria, not really near where the shootings happened (about 40 miles), but it's still pretty crazy to hear about it, as the local crime rate is one of the lowest in the country.

Im also from Cumbria (though the south) As is Ron Manager i believe. That north coast area always strikes me as like Englands answer to the deep south, pockets of slightly odd close-knit villages seperated by acres of farm and wilderness. Sellafield is very idm, a nuclear powerstation overlooking a misty grey beach. Lucky really that the gunman never made it as far inland as the lake district cause I imagine its quite busy there at the moment.

Im just fucked off that Coronation Streets been pulled for another night. Television cant show a fictious kidnap, but it can show pictures of the murderer and explain every aspect of the shootings in great detail. Grandstand morality pisses me right off, and i really like corrie =)

He was mad because his last name was Bird.

 

Maybe he got tired of hearing that it's the word.
