Maybe they are waiting to confirm if 4 people have been killed before they can call it a mass shooting.

i thought sandy hook was the moment most people gave up, but lol oh man the paddock shooting was a full retreat

he shot almost five hundred loving people and nothing changed! virtually anyone with a credit card could do it again tomorrow!

A month later someone killed over two dozen people in a church (fifth deadliest mass shooting) and nobody even remembers that happened.

I like that we’ve gotten to the point where if a mass shooting happens in a state run by the insane gun party the language has completely morphed to be the most passive, vague words possibly now.

“We have had an…incident where an individual became um…aggressive in relation to a long barreled firearm that resulted in some neutralized unrelated third parties”

Every shooting just illustrates the importance of having many guns of your own.

Sutherland Springs. Very small town just south of Austin. So small that the shooting killed like 1/3 of the town's total population. Barely a footnote now.

part of that was just culture war reasons, since the victims there were mainly white conservatives

it's mainly famous because a shootout outside the church happened after, then one guy flagged down a truck going by and said 'we gotta go kill that guy he's a bad guy' and the driver said yee haw or some poo poo and they it turned into an action movie


anyways whats going on with these mass shootings in the mid south that target friends of governors. two states now.

People who want to ban guns, don't really need to remember what happened. There are shootings all the time. They just go back 5 days to the recent event and say "ban guns."


People who never want to ban gun don't want to remember stuff. They want to forget, lie, and confuse the argument to keep their guns.
Just tell them to enjoy getting shot up at a Wal-Mart because that is what they want.

I noticed a trend with this last shooting, few different media outlets have changed to calling these "Mass Killing events" (WaPo jumps to mind) presumably to downplay the gun part

that scene in Hell or High Water where the bank robber protagonists end up being chased by dozens of random vigilantes eager to go kill a bad guy and the police keep having to try and wave them off is the most realistic part of the movie, West Texas is actually like that

most of the time they're chasing someone for walking while black instead of for an actual crime though

i was wondering just this morning after speaking to the office manager about the shooting who talked about "gangbangers and kids who never get punished" and bit my tongue on, "well it's probably a middle aged white guy"

later on a walk i pondered, "the real question is when they stop targeting random civilians"

Those bank executives were no angels.

They were asking for it, dressed in Brooks Brothers in that part of town.

This is just a part of their culture.

Their perverted lifestyle finally caught up to them.

If they had just pulled up their slacks and got real jobs this never would have happened.

If we're doomed to have these shootings, bank executives are so much better than children.

I'll still not endorse random senseless shooting, but if I'm forced into the fallacy of relative privation, I'll take it.
