And now a British MP, Jo Cox was stabbed and shot overnight dying of her injuries. A local, some recluse who was heard shouting Britain First has been taken into custody.

Awful It'll be interesting to hear the motivation behind the attack. I've heard allegations of mental illness as well as multiple witness accounts of the shooter yelling Britain First. Edit: Thomas Mair named as the individual arrested for this murder <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/jo-cox-dead-thomas-mair-suspect-south-africa-apartheid-a7086426.html'>http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/jo-cox-dead-thomas-mair-suspect-south-africa-apartheid-a7086426.html</a> <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">The man arrested over the killing of Labour MP Jo Cox is believed to have had long-term links with a hard-right group based in London which had been campaigning for many years for Britain to leave the European Union. Thomas Mair was named as a supporter in an online publication of the Springbok Club, an organisation which has defended the white supremacist apartheid regime in South Africa. Witnesses to the fatal attack on Ms Cox say they heard Mair shout â€œBritain Firstâ€ as the MP was shot and then stabbed. The organisation Britain First, which was founded by former members of the British National Party, has denied that Mair was associated with it and say they condemn the killing.</blockquote>

Fucking whacko. Stabbing and shooting at the same time? Jeezus.

Given the character statements from those that lived near him, it seems more likely that the Thomas Mair named in the Springbok Club is not the same person. 
This case sounds more like a mental illness sufferer having an episode with tragic consequences. 
Who knows why he was yelling "Britain First"; I wouldn't be surprised if he can't explain it either. 
EDIT: Seems like I was wrong

That's a good read MR, ta
 
One excerpt I thought poignant:
 
So, no, Nigel Farage isnâ€™t responsible for Jo Coxâ€™s murder. And nor is the Leave campaign. But they are responsible for the manner in which they have pressed their argument. They werenâ€™t to know something like this was going to happen, of course, and they will be just as shocked and horrified by it as anyone else.
But, still. Look. When you encourage rage you cannot then feign surprise when people become enraged. You cannot turn around and say, â€˜Mate, you werenâ€™t supposed to take it so seriously. Itâ€™s just a game, just a ploy, a strategy for winning votes.â€™
When you shout BREAKING POINT over and over again, you donâ€™t get to be surprised when someone breaks. When you present politics as a matter of life and death, as a question of national survival, donâ€™t be surprised if someone takes you at your word. You didnâ€™t make them do it, no, but you didnâ€™t do much to stop it either.
Sometimes rhetoric has consequences. If you spend days, weeks, months, years telling people they are under threat, that their country has been stolen from them, that they have been betrayed and sold down the river, that their birthright has been pilfered, that their problem is theyâ€™re too slow to realise any of this is happening, that their problem is theyâ€™re not sufficiently mad as hell, then at some point, in some place, something or someone is going to snap. And then something terrible is going to happen.

It's worth noting that this rhetoric can easily be taken to extremes by people predisposed to getting a bit antsy.
 
In our lives we've all come across characters that were a bit highly strung and what with some of the reality TV garbage and repetitive crap in the media, it's not inconceivable that people feel threatened by things that aren't actually a threat. 
 
Looking back on my time in Asia, because I never listened to talkback radio or watched any mainstream TV (the language barrier) it was quite amazing how generally relaxed and unperturbed life is without the constant bashing of mainstream media. Ignorance really is bliss

True rage. 
 
However Thailand is a significant topic in this thread as their gun homocide rate ain't too far from the yanks. Also this place is on a steady decline which will only get worse when the monarch passes on. Gun crime is huge here too and it all stems from unenforced regulations and a proliferation of guns. Definitely everyday multiple people are killed by guns here, not even mentioning the terrorism in the south that would have the western world in apoplexy if they got daily coverage of that carnage - from 2004-2015, 6500 dead, 12000 injured (civilians, kids, schools being bombed, teachers gunned down in classrooms) in that cluster fuck.

MajorRage

yeah, it doesn't get anything like the coverage that it probably should. I guess it's because they aren't bringing their trouble to the west.
 
I barely even read past the headline about a bomb, shooting, massive event with loss of life when I see it was in the middle east/ africa /pakistan etc. It's not that I don't care about the loss of life, it's just that it shouldn't really affect me. Where as these sorts of things in Western countries could.
 
Given the high percentage of people who do travel to Thailand though, it really should be made more in your face, although I've never met anybody who has spent a significant amount (re - any, really) of time down in the affected areas.

	Gun shop sells 30,000 AR-15 assault rifles in just one week

Just when you thought you couldn't be any more dismayed by America's gun crisis, comes this depressing nugget of information.
Despite the fight for gun control making waves across the world in the week since a terrorist attack in an Orlando nightclub that left 49 dead and 53 wounded, one online gun shop has sold a whopping 30,000 AR-15 rifles.
Let me repeat that: 30,000 guns sold in ONE WEEK.
Hunter's Warehouse owner Tom Engle told Fox Business' Stuart Varney that weapons in his online shop, with an inventory of 300,000 to 400,000 guns, have in fact flown off the shelves in the week since the massacre.
"In particular the AR-15 has been selling very, very well," Mr Engle said from Pennsylvania.

</div>
Overnight, the Republican-controlled US Senate rejected four competing gun control measures just days after the Orlando club massacre, highlighting the stalling feud over an issue that refuses to die down during a heated presidential election year.
Even as they sought to appear keen to take action following the deadliest shooting in US history, Republicans and Democrats voted down four amendments - two from each party - that would have limited some gun purchases, including those by suspected terrorists.
It comes as shocking figures reveal that FIVE MILLION Americans own an AR-15, according to the National Shooting Sports Federation.
The sad fact? Assault-style weapons were outlawed in 1994 but were reintroduced into American culture after the ban expired in 2004 when Congress failed to renew it.

&nbsp;<img src="http://media.nzherald.co.nz/webcontent/image/jpg/201626/GettyImages-540937830.jpg" alt="GettyImages-540937830.jpg">A gun shop owner has described the AR-15 as basically a giant Lego kit for grown-ups. Photo / Getty<p>And they're not just your typical hand guns. The 30,000 guns sold to trigger-happy Americans across the country are from one particular type of rifle, the AR-15. And the AR-15 is no ordinary gun.</p>

With prices ranging from $350-$8000 a pop, the AR-15, an evolution of the US military's M-16 rifle, is manufactured by dozens of gun makers, including Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger.
Unlike its military relative, the AR-15, developed in 1958, is semiautomatic, but it's enough to do a whole lot of damage. Its advantage includes firing multiple rounds quickly, and its ability to reload ammunition at a speedy pace.
And it doesn't help when shooting AR-15s are as sexualised as this.
Julia shooting an AR-15 for the first time
Assault-style rifles have been used in 14 public mass shootings in the last decade alone. An incredible half of those shootings have occurred since June 2015.
It was a Bushmaster XM-15 (a variant of the AR-15) that gunman Adam Lanza "largely relied on" to kill 26 people, mainly children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012 - the deadliest mass shooting at a high school or primary school in US history and the third-deadliest mass shooting by a single person in US history.
A version of same rifle was used to kill nine people at Umpqua Community College in Oregon in October. So were the 14 who were killed in San Bernardino.
It was also the weapon used in the murders of 12 people - including Jessi Ghawi - at a Colorado movie theatre in 2012.
"America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms," American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn said in 2011.
"You can go down to a gun show at the local convention centre and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely without having to show an identification card. So what are you waiting for?"
Even those on terrorist watch lists aren't prohibited from purchasing a gun.
But Mr Engle believes it's not the overwhelming amount of massacres prompting Americans to buy guns, it's the government's fault.
"Shootings don't push up gun sales, he said.
"It's when the government starts talking about banning particular guns and up go gun sales.
"When people lose their right to buy a particular gun or a particular type of gun, they go after them and they want them then."

Photo / APCould this be true? Why is this type of gun so popular with your average American?
"With the AR platform, a person with absolutely no gunsmithing expertise can buy one gun and a bunch of accessories, and optimise that gun for the application at hand. You can even make an AR-15 into a pistol," Texan gun owner Jon Stokes wrote on Vox.
"Cops and civilians buy AR-15s because that one gun can be adapted to an infinite variety of sporting, hunting, and use-of-force scenarios by an amateur with a few simple tools.
"In this respect, the AR-15 is basically a giant Lego kit for grown-ups."
"The rifle's popularity is almost certainly the main reason why mass shooters increasingly reach for it when they go on a rampage. Think about it: If you're planning to shoot up a room full of people, are you going to reach for a rare, exotic weapon that you have little experience with, or will you select the familiar option that's easy to train with and that you have plenty of practice time behind?
"The answer, for anybody who shoots, is the latter."
Even the NRA has brashly stated that AR-15s are "virtually never misused", claiming "many are kept for home protection, particularly now that carbine versions are available in many configurations suited for defence in the close spaces of a home, often in low light conditions."
Overnight in the Senate, the two Democratic texts sought to bar those on FBI watchlists or no-fly lists from buying firearms, and to strengthen criminal and mental health background checks for those seeking to purchase firearms at gun shows and on the internet.
Republicans are opposed to those measures - in general, they oppose any effort to limit gun rights, saying they are protected by the US Constitution's Second Amendment.

Semi-automatics are in the news again after the Orlando nightclub shooting. Photo / GettyThey proposed a 72-hour waiting period for those on FBI watchlists seeking to buy weapons, so that the government has time to seek a court order to block the sale if need be.
The second Republican proposal aimed to improve the background check system. Democrats rejected both GOP measures.
Such efforts often struggle to pass the Senate, where 60 of 100 votes are needed for legislation to advance.
The Senate voted on similar measures in the wake of the December 2012 Connecticut school massacre and the San Bernardino attacks last year, but to no avail.
"Every single senator wants to deny terrorists access to guns they use to harm innocent civilians, but there's a right way to do things and a wrong way," said Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas.
Senate Democrat Dick Durbin was livid at the failure of politicians to come together on such a pressing issue after yet another shooting.
"Tonight, the Senate turned its back on victims of gun violence from Orlando to San Bernardino, from Newtown to the streets of Chicago," Durbin said in a statement.
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has spoken out at length about the need to curb gun violence in the week since the Orlando tragedy, but she had a shorter message Monday.
"Enough," she said in a one-word statement.

The government are surely in the pay of the NRA.
