    Fox News will not cover this.

    If they do it will be a small blurb and they will ommit the Immigrant Center part.

    Doesn't this type of stuff usually spawn copycats?

    The demagoguery that has been going on about the immigration issue could well be a factor in all of this.

    I say this about every massacre that happens.

    Remember Columbine 10 years ago (this month)? I remember the cable news stations having Columbine coverage 24/7 for about 2 weeks after the fact.

    Now, this kind of thing is becoming such commonplace that I’ll bet people won’t even be talking about it 24 hours from now. If they do, it will just deteriorate into partisan bickering over immigration. Just watch. Hell, it's already happening in this thread.

    I mean, it seems like there is a mass shooting in this country so often that each time it happens, we become more numb to it all. It’s a sad reality of the times we live in, I guess.

    It's really sad that incidents like this seems to be so common place nowadays, wasn't there a mass shooting just a few weeks ago in a nursing home? Indeed a sad time we are living in right now.

    The arbitrary immigration process and its cruel consequences can make people crazy.

    Maybe that's good. Perps probably crave the attention. If they can't even get much attention by massacring people, maybe they'll do something different.

    They already are covering it. Front page on the website with a huge graphic and identifying it as an immigration center. Maybe you should take 4 seconds to check next time.

    What in the hell is wrong with people in today's society? This is like the 5th damn shooting this month with this tying Germany's school shooting for the sheer number of bodies.

    Jesus. It really is a weekly occurrence nowadays
