UPDATE2: This type of mass murder doesn't happen in other "advanced countries". *At least not at this magnitude*. Is this a true statement?

The shooting of 9 innocent churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina was a senseless tragedy but leave it up to our President to politicize and discount the ...
President Obama addresses America about the reckless, ignorant shooting at the Charleston Carolina Church. I really am glad he addressed what is going on, and I think in a very positive way...
What happened there at that Church, Ugh I hate it! It's dumb and pathetic. Prayers to those involved! Senseless!! I'm glad they caught the SOB so they can have some justice. Those idiots usually go out the cowardly way!
However, POTUS Obama states that the people who are getting these weapons to do these kinds of acts, well it's too easy. I agree that people that are deemed mentally Ill, yes, it just might be. But SANE people don't do these things.
POTUS: "At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency."
What I can't get over and/or don't know how to perceive this, is that he thinks this type of mass murder doesn't happen anywhere else. Or not in this magnitude...
When I think about what goes on in Israel, Palestine, Iran, Iraq... I am left wondering HUH??? No I don't believe what he said. LOL
Do you agree??
I included my most FAV Democrats so that we might have an adult discussion. :-)

In my opinion, this kiddo gets it.

Completely fictitious statement, and an insult to both his own and the average Americans intelligence. "Massacres" like this happen all of the time in Africa, the Middle East, and the Indo-China regions. Many are religious, some are ethnic, and others are merely because they received aid supplies. In first world countries in general, you do not see many mass killings, what you do see however is substantially more depraved and disgusting avenues of murder, desecration, and genocide. Our country is number 1 in gun ownership and only 43rd in murder rate and we only number ~323 million people (4.5% of the world population.) Legal gun ownerships is in no way a problem here.
What is the problem here is certain state "habits" not being reigned in and culled for blatant illegality and unconstitutional practices. (I.e. a state capitol flying an unauthorized ensign that is not sanctioned at any level.)

Two comments here: (1) Racism is still alive here in the US, though this incident should not have convinced us of this, if we didn't believe it before. We should have already been well aware that racism still exists, as disgusting as it is. (2) Guns don't kill people.

I think we should hear from the Mayer of Charleston instead.
The President ends up cherry picking the incidents he weighs in on and IMO makes him seem like an opportunist. I would rather hear about matters of national importance. In the case of race relations, I would like to know how he is going to tackle this problem. Al Sharpton's visits to the White House don't seem to be working.

Is this even a serious question? Syria, Iran, Iraq, Bosnia, Africa....
...are you kidding me? They come in HUNDREDS, thousands, WEEKLY. Your question is almost farcical in nature.

Oops, my bad. I didn't understand, initially, what you're getting at -- you're not thinking this way at all. So I'll redirect my comment towards the president.
Sorry, SGT.

False. It happens everywhere. Not that Wikipedia is a truly reliable source but check it out to jog your memory of some of the incidents like the one in Norway a few years ago where the kid killed 75 people.

This is nearly a dally occurrence in Mexico and many other country's Haiti is another with the drug cartels and gangs. I travel the world as a Flight Paramedic, responding to the victims of such things. When people where involved truly in there community. Not just trying to get a video for you tube or "Wold Star" and stop the unjust and calm the situation. this is the effect of "it's none of my business", if its occurring in the public eye they have made it your business. Your actions or inaction directly affect the kind of neighborhood you get. I am not talking about being vigilantist or putting your self in harms way, but nothing is preventing you from making a call. Think about it.

When he added "in advanced societies" He either opened or closed a very small gap.

Last I checked Norway was an industrialized western country, and not a third world backwater.
"The 2011 Norway attacks were two sequential lone wolf terrorist attacks against the government, the civilian population, and a Workers' Youth League (AUF)-run summer camp in the Oslo region on 22 July 2011, claiming a total of 77 lives.". With an additional 319 injured.
