School shooting in Europe: A tragedy
School shooting in America: A Tuesday
Yeah, except the Czech Republic will probably take meaningful steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again
Considering they have a semi-2a already, doubt they will. And I hope they don’t and get further pro-2a…russia is near.
Well, a special parliament meeting has been called already. Our constitution is quite malleable and I think most parties will agree on stricter gun laws. The gun was legally carried by the perpetrator after all, despite his mental instability and online posts suggesting he premeditated the act.
Also, I expect more training at schools: the killer killed his father first before heading to the faculty, and they had been warned. A partial evacuation was conducted but turned out to be ineffective.
WT actual F is a 2A? Sounds like a school class? Do we shoot it?
It’s “murican” for the right to bear arms. Namely referring to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
Somebody probably has shot it knowing this country.
Ah yes, that really old law. We have one in the UK like that, it says something like you can shoot a Scotsman in York on sight, but only with a bow and arrow or after midnight or something
But it’s not enforced because it’s an old law and, well, WE’RE NOT FUCKING STUPID 😂
You’re advocating to disregard any constitution that’s too old?
Yes.
I had to actually read an article to make sure it wasn’t Prague, Wisconsin or some nonsense.
I just naturally assumed I’d misread and that it was something to do with PragerU.
I am Czech and I hate their name more than people calling us Eastern Europe. They have nothing to do with the prestigious Charles University or any other institution in Prague. Even worse, “Prager” roughly means “Prague (adj)” in German and possibly other languages.
Central Europe: a term invented by eastern European countries that don’t like getting called eastern
We are at 15°E, which is the meridian of Central European Time. Our culture is way closer to Germans than Russians. And would you call Dresden Eastern Europe?
But yes, there is some divide so if you need to draw the line somewhere, it makes sense to split ethnically Slavic and Germanic countries so I see a reason behind that. There is no such justification for PragerU’s name choice.
The term western and eastern Europe have always been political, never geographical. This is why Czechia is eastern, because it used to be part of the socialist dictatorships. Another example: Russia is geographically European* but politically a fascist shithole.
* Inb4 Russia is also in Asia: yes, but none of the parts that actually matter for Russia culturally or economically
Its not funny…
gal·lows hu·mor /ˈɡalōz ˈ(h)yo͞omər/ noun
grim and ironic humor in a desperate or hopeless situation.
I’m Czech and our culture prides itself in gallows humor.
Way to make the year’s darkest day even darker!
Oh wow!
Now we have a total of 40 school shootings in Europe … since 1900.
The States do that in like what, two weeks?
USA! USA! USA!
They do have increased by a lot in recent years…
