I live here.
Just finished sending notes to family -- including those overseas -- that I'm safe and well.
And pissed off!

(38,359 posts)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Florida authorities are reporting multiple people dead and many transported to hospitals after a mass shooting at a riverfront mall in Jacksonville that was hosting a video game tournament.
The Jacksonville Sherriffs Office is reporting that one suspect is dead at the scene after the shooting at Jacksonville Landing, but it was unknown if there were other suspects involved.
The Jacksonville Sheriffs Office used Twitter and Facebook to warn people to stay far away from the Jacksonville Landing.
The department says to stay far away from the area. The area is not safe at this time. STAY AWAY.
We are finding many people hiding in locked areas at The Landing. We ask you to stay calm, stay where you are hiding. SWAT is doing a methodical search inside The Landing. We will get to you. Please dont come running out, the sheriffs office said via Twitter.
The sheriffs office didnt provide any other information, but also warned news media to stay away from the area, which contains restaurants and shops along the St. Johns River.

(17,378 posts)People get pissed and lose their temper all the time. However, if you have guns easily accessible, what should just be a shouting match with some pushing and shoving quickly escalates to murder.

(48,773 posts)Neither. Generally when violence is sublimated by sports or games, it is lessened.
Problem is anger management and wide availability of more weaponry than is reasonable. Including tRump relaxing availability of guns to people with mental illness.

(6,881 posts)The sublimation argument has been used a lot for a long time. Even with actual football, before online. And well substantiated to be accepted. Too Freudian for some psychologists though.
Are you saying sublimation only lessens violence when the game is physically played? Played a lot of video games and know enough gamers to know that's not the case. But odd crazies are everywhere these days. Even in schools and churches.

Word of another tragic mass shooting in our state brings shock and outrage. Right now, law enforcement are doing their jobs under horrific circumstances and its important that people in the Jacksonville area heed their warnings.
