it is

but these things happen regularly

and we only ever talk about them if the shooter is white

if you get to a 100 per day, then maybe you have a problem

now it is isolated incidents

@desert hamster Tbf, most of the other shootings are gang related, and people know each other.

Let's not pretend that these scenarios are not special or unique

this is special and unique

i agree

but in the grand scheme of things

it is a drop in the ocean

Sure, but we're delving into the realm of Utilitarianism at that point

And I will stay away from that nonsense

i am just saying that people will talk about it for 3 days

and then forget about it

there is no election happening withing 30 days

so no one will care

they cannot use it

they will bitch about gun control

and that will be that

the only people that care will be the ones that lost loved ones

Yep

it will not be a prelude to a civil war

Two in a row though?

Someone's going to do it again this week

unless you have this happening daily

remember europe

how people got used to terrorism

@Fitzydog wait

after 5-6 happen

it will stop being news

@desert hamster It's different here.

The news loves this shit

Didn't something happen, and people were memeing there would be a shooting soon to distract people from th

i mean 500 people died in las vegas

who even mentiones it

@desert hamster The difference is that Europe has MUSLIM terrorism.

We have young white kids with GUNS.

This will always be news

until people get bored

Nope

the news follow the ratings

You're not getting it

News doesn't follow ratings.

Thats not their purpose

the shock factor will be gone
