    what does socialism have to do with this? yes, a cop is still an armed wing of an authoritarian gov, and they can also stop an unhinged shooter. two things can be true or happen at the same time.

    i own plenty of guns. i am not anti gun. i am anti authoritarian.

      I feel like you’re dodging the question. How should society deal with a shooter on a spree? Armed anti-authoritarians step in instead of the police? Vigilantism comes with many problems of its own and really isn’t an answer to authoritarianism.

      If you think it should be stopped by police, why cheer that one was killed doing what he was supposed to do?

        where do I cheer? I simply stated nothing of value was lost.

        Yes, I believe working class people can take care of themselves.
