If all those festival-goers had had guns, there'd be a lot more corpses in the hotel right now.

I'm thinking a country music festival in Nevada probably had an awful lot of Good Guys With Guns around. I kinda wonder if we're going to find that a few of the corpses have bullets in them from guns other than the main shooter's.

How many cases have there been of legal carriers going nuts on a crowd because of a panic?

No idea, but given how stupid panicky crowds become it seems inevitable.

It was a packed crowd of 22,000 people in a city block. There's no accuracy involved in that.

Hummm an untrained sad sack can just up and kill 59 ppl and injure over 500 from 32 floors up? Something is not right with that. What could have possibly enabled such a thing?

The scary part is how easy it is, and how most of the people who do this poo poo gently caress it up to the degree where the casualties are "only" a dozen or two.

I almost like the idea of a failed left-wing mastermind desperately trying to stage a gun massacre so horrific your nation will actually do something about it. They put in the call for the crisis actors, get all the fake blood and bodies and the media scripts ready to go and no matter what it never works.

"What if it's kids? Didn't work, ok. What if it's an obvious hate crime? No? What about uh, what about like 600 people for no reason? gently caress, I don't know, Jerry, do you have a better idea?"

But it's just the same pointless, preventable violence over and over again, forever.

Context: The Charlottesville City Council has decided to rename 4th St. after Heather Heyer. For inexplicable reasons, some people in the Charlottesville area are responding to this news with 'angry' on Facebook. When I asked why, this genius responded with Youtube videos ("ha ha! Heather is so fat and gross, amirite, guys?").

With the unique exception of 9/11, which was done by robots to trick Americans into thinking that Muslims were terrorists, which it ends up they actually are. Or something.
