Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed that. I found the vastness of it relaxing.

That people actually believe that Martin Bryant didn't commit the crimes at Port Arthur.

I get people are sceptical about things in the world. But when I heard this one....

VY CANIS MAJORIS

I like that they called it Big Dog.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

1.40 onwards particularly.

That's true, however seeing a Sirius is alpha Canis majoris I'd suggest that it is the big dog. This is just a bunch of letters, like a a dude thats on the fringes of the group. They need to change that video anyway, its so outdated.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yeah, I remember a different version. Couldn't find it for some reason.

I believe theres... more to it than meets the eye, but I don't think that has to correlate with believing it wasn't Bryant.

Oh god here we go

Oh god here we go

I'm not going anywhere, I don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said by more informed - if not a little unhinged - minds.

I think you mean extremely.

Yeah there's a bunch of them

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yeah there's a bunch of them

I still believe that's the biggest known star though. Or did they find something else?

Someone with the mental capacity of a six year, who has no advanced gun training manages to kill 33 people almost entirely with headshots, including something like 8 in 15 seconds. Seems legit.

Just a coincidence that Howard had a plan in place to take all of the guns barely a day after the attack hey?

 

[Borderline]

Yes. Too bad for all of us.

Saw something on Facebook the other day:

No. of Americans killed by terrorism in the last decade: 24.
No. of Americans killed by guns in the last decade: 280,000+

Mind blown.

Guns are literally a non issue. The 'big evil scary guns' narrative is pushed by the media and some sectors of the government to try and take guns off the people. It's pathetic that real issues like domestic violence are ignored because they don't suit a political agenda.

"B-b-but why would the media and government mislead us? T-they only want to protect us...r-right?"

Im no major skeptic, and I think he did it. But there is a lot of evidence that suggests he couldn't have done it.

First 20 shots fired were 19 heat shots and one body shot, all killed.

Ridiculous.

"Oh but everyone was sitting down unprepared", nah, still ridiculous.

Correct me if my maths is wrong, but you're saying only 0.12% of deaths in America are caused from gun murders, or a touch less than one in a thousand people

In a country of 318.9 million people where each one of them will die, you're looking at 382,600 of their population dying from a gun murder

Firstly, I would suggest that either you graph is wrong or my maths is (I only did it quickly in my head), but even if I was out by a factor of ten (making it 38,000) it's a lot of deaths that would not have occured if it wasn't so easy to get guns

Yes but that is a figure spread out over many years. In 2014 there was 567 deaths in mass shootings and 12,563 in shootings (this includes suicide by gun). There's no doubt that guns make it a lot easier to kill someone, but you just can't compare Australia to the US, completely different countries, cultures and social situations.

As the population becomes more stupid and passive the government begins to exert more control and restrict our freedoms.

 

[Borderline]

The people who think the cops are all power hungry, trigger happy, racist thugs are usually the ones who want to put them in total control of firearms too. Doesn't add up to me
