Nobody, or at least not that I know of.

But I guess he might be found dead, of a self inflicted gun shot.

Anyways, I was more talking generally, not necessarily specific to this incident.

We're all sadly become numb to this.
Yeah pretty much, I think this thread would be the busiest one on the board if we bumped it every time there was a mass shooting. According to this site:

https://massshootingtracker.site/

There's been 644 mass shootings this year... hell I just noticed on the site there was one today in North Carolina that killed 5 people, I don't think it even made national news.


Edit: ^^^ Apparently it did

I've said it before but if these mass murderers are going to end up killing themselves anyway, I just wish they'd reverse the order of their killings.

Well then they wouldn't be mass murderers.

Damn, we went out there after a Flames game in Tampa years back. It's sort of like a giant 17th ave, a packed entertainment area with tons and tons of people out at night. Seems fortunate if only one person died.

Hopefully, the fatality is the shooter.

The Washington Post published an article with photos and videos from mass shootings. I wouldn’t recommend reading it but every American against gun control should be forced to.

One would hope that it helps sway people's opinions on the topic but most of the people against gun control would just think the article is fake news.

I have a friend who thinks the U.S. is the best country in the world; greatest democracy ever, kind of thing. She’s young; what does she know?

I’m sure there are many Americans like her.

The problem is, they're conditioned to think that. Their education is akin to brainwashing.

And America is a wonderful country, largely, especially so if you're white and wealthy.

Pictures like this need to be on the front page of news papers and news sites when mass shootings happen.

And it and even some of the more raw footage should be shown in every university and college in the USA, maybe just maybe the new voters will start to vote out the idiots who protect these weapons.
