Another school shooting

[ex-khobar Andy]

This time in Nashville.

From the CNN report:

AI gun detection software, which is used in all Metro Nashville Public Schools, failed to detect the shooter’s gun, district officials said Thursday. The technology, called Omnilert, didn’t spot the weapon because the shooter wasn’t close enough to cameras to get an accurate read and activate the alarm, the school district said.

“It does work, but it’s not going to work in every instance, in every spot based on where that weapon might be visible,” Sean Braisted, chief of communications and technology for the district, said in a news conference Thursday.

Omnilert CEO Dave Fraser said the safety and well-being of its schools is the company’s top priority. “Our hearts go out to the students, staff, families, and the entire Nashville community affected by this tragic event,” Fraser said in a statement to CNN Thursday.

“We can confirm that the Omnilert Gun Detect system is deployed at MNPS schools but in this case the location of the shooter and the firearm meant that the weapon was not visible,” Fraser said. “This is not a case of the firearm not being recognized by the system.”

So the technology didn't fail; it just didn't see the weapon because the shooter didn't present it properly to the camera. I see.

I think this probably is a case of the firearm not being recognized by the system. Of course we could just make it harder for people to get firearms in the first place.

Now that's just crazy-talk.

Update, the shooter, a black boy, was motivated by racism.

The link that lib kindly provided made no mention of the shooter's race - Black or otherwise. He - who killed himself after he had killed 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante - has been identified as Solomon Henderson.

Additionally:

Analysts with the ADL Center on Extremism "have located a manifesto and social media accounts believed to belong to the shooter, where he shared a range of incel, accelerationist, white supremacist, antisemitic & anti-Black content," the organization wrote in a Wednesday post on X (formerly Twitter).

So lib is half right (he is doing his best to get his average up) when he says that the shooter was motivated by racism. I don't know who these 'accelerationist' types are - maybe they just like fast cars. Not sure. I'll look them up.

[Big RR]

From what i recall, accelerationists want to destablize society to bring its downfall more quickly. I guess they can be both on the laeft and right sides of the spectrum, but white supremicists gnerally try to step up violent attacks (especially those that may be blamed on their "enemies") to shake the very core of society--I would guess like the Manson group is an earlier version of them. And Lib's assessment shows that their efforts can be successful.

So lib is half right (he is doing his best to get his average up) when he says that the shooter was motivated by racism.

Given that the shooter is indeed a young black man, is it your assessment that lib is 100% correct?

That's a dangerous road to descend . . .

Among honest people the truth doesn't take sides; it is what it is.

[Burning Petard]

Given all the information the police, friends, family have released about the shooter, the truth is

We Don't Know. He had loads of complaints about many things. Perhaps incel was his major motivation. I can understand that. I too could not get a date when I was his age. But I never considered picking up a gun.

When I was young, I got plenty of rejections or at least they seem like a lot. That is the way it is with the young everything undesired that happen to them is a catastrophe, but there was no thought of any retribution. In those days in the culture I lived in it was an indisputable right of a girl or woman to choose, but now a girl, if she is white, can be accused of being a racist if she doesn't choose a black boy.

Do you ever wonder why so many people think you're a racist?

[Crackpot]

Of course he’s hidden is soooo well.

They can think whatever they want I don't care, but I've been there. I know from experience boys will use whatever tool that might work for them to get into a girl's pants. Too many horny young men and boys have no principles when it comes to making a conquest.

[liberty]

No, they didn't. it's just human nature; everyone writes from their own perspective the early historians didn't mention blacks very much because they didn't see very many. Until the Age of exploration the Europeans didn't even know that Sub Saharan Africa existed. In ancient times, they thought there were only two Continents Europe and Asia. North Africa was thought to be only an extension of Asia.

[Burning Petard]

Perfectly understandable. Slaves are so hard to see. Sally Hemmings was just about invisible, sort of like Gen'l Eisenhower's jeep driver.

Map of the World, Claudius Ptolemy, Alexandria, ~150 C.E.:

[BoSoxGal]

Wow, were we DUMB.






Oh wait . . .

[Sue U]

The great innovation attributed to Ptolemy was use of latitude and longitude for mapping, building on astral navigation principles and instruments that had already been around for hundreds of years. The distortion in his map is the result of relying on an earlier Greek astronomer's miscalculation of the circumference of the Earth. So I don't know who these benighted "Europeans" are that liberty constantly refers to, unless he means those guys who brought a millennium of "Dark Ages" ignorance, poverty and violence on themselves while the civilized world continued its pursuit of science, technology, arts and commerce.

As Gandhi said when asked his thoughts about Western Civilization, "I think it would be a good idea."

I concur.

No wonder young black men are angry. Their true history is not being taught. Be a good liberal send your money and get your copy now.

See all formats and editions

In this book, we cover over 200,000 years of Black history. For many of us, that sounds strange. We can t even imagine what the Black past was like before the slave trade, much less imagine that such a history goes back 200,000 years or more. Can you imagine what that does to a person? To grow up believing their people started out as slaves? Perhaps some of us know a little about Africa, but how much do we really know? How much do we know about the extent of the ancient Black empires that spanned far beyond continental Africa? Chances are, very little. In this book, we ll tell the stories you haven t been told. We ll talk about the Black migrations that settled the world. We ll show you the Black people who founded the first cultures and civilizations of Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, the Pacific Islands, and North and South America. No exaggeration. This book covers more than 200,000 years of Black history across every square inch of the Planet Earth. As we learn the history of our ancestors, we ll learn more and more about ourselves.

Just curious lib - do you not believe that your ancestors a while back (maybe 10000 generations or so) were black? Modern evaluation of paleontological hominid evidence suggests that we are all 'out of Africa.'
