Rampage in the Lake District
 
There's been a fucking shooting in the Lake District. A place near Eskdale that I visit very frequently. Twelve dead, twenty five injured. Some nutjob of a taxi driver did it. I was mortified, because I was actually going to go up this week, so I'd be up there where he was, but decided against it because I strained my leg.

Heard about that. It was very American of him.

OANST 06-02-2010 10:20 AM

Kind of a stupid thing to say.

Dixanadu 06-02-2010 10:39 AM

I don't care. But I guess Oddjob got real lucky.

OANST 06-02-2010 10:56 AM

Also kind of a stupid thing to say.

Moral of the story: Don't piss off taxi drivers.

Bullet Magnet 06-02-2010 01:30 PM

I blame the children.

Havoc 06-02-2010 01:38 PM

I blame the people that don't tip taxi drivers.

enchilado 06-02-2010 02:30 PM

Fuck. That's terrible.

i blame you for coming up with shitty 'jokes' when 12 people have fucking died.

jesus christ, what is with you? we heard you the first time, and we didn't find it funny then, either. i try to like you, i honestly do, but you just carry on with this ridiculous bullshit. why?

Sekto Springs 06-03-2010 11:47 AM

Simple, my good man. Havoc has flanderized himself.
He knows everyone hates his guts and almost nothing he does will change that, so he uses that to his advantage to fit the bill and be as much of a total prick as he can be.
It's like a perverse kind of "immunity". We already hate him, and getting us to like him again will take alot more work than just continuing down this path of assholishness that comes so naturally to him.

OANST 06-03-2010 12:04 PM

It's not like he was the only one to make jokes in this thread.

enchilado 06-03-2010 03:21 PM

I can't relate to stuff like this. I can't feel anything for the people involved.

I wish I could, but I just can't. It just doesn't happen.

Jordan 06-03-2010 03:28 PM

...shit. Don't really know what else to say but shit. >_>

You can't relate to being gunned down as you walk down the street? Shit. What sort of pussy country do you live in?

When i heard about this i imagined a guy with a Machine gun shooting in every direction

Then i watched the news and a Eyewitness said he was carrying a massive gun with a scope like something out off James Bond. and was almost like he couldn't hold it right.
Jesus that guy must of been really angry to get a weapon like that. For some odd reason i can't Imagen it now. it must of been awful.

anyway this whole event now makes me avoid taking a taxis even more then usual.

i'm pretty sure it was a .22 hunting rifle, and a 12 bore shotgun. due to its size i'd bet the rifle was a rimfire type, and not a centrefire.

i'm simply amazed he was allowed to own a .22 rifle, to be honest. those things are for hunting, not lazy shoots on a Sunday afternoon, lamping and whatever. he would have had to own a firearms license, not just a shotgun license. a taxi driver with a firearms license? i would have thought that would raise suspicion within the local police department.

OddjobAbe 06-06-2010 10:08 AM

I think that guns should only be available to farmers and the armed forces (and I'm not convinced even the armed forces use them on the people they're meant to a lot of the time). If you want to go shooting for fun, the guns should be owned by the club, and none should be taken home. No civilian (farmers excluded) should own a gun.

Bullet Magnet 06-06-2010 11:03 AM

That way, we know to arrest the farmers.

OddjobAbe 06-06-2010 11:16 AM

MA had better watch himself, the little fucking haychewer.
