    Genuinely, I'm having trouble keeping all the public shootings separate. After a while they all just begin to melt together.

    I saw it and didn't even feel it was necessary to create a thread, I guess I'm just becoming desensitized from it happening so often.

    Fall 2017 to Fall 2018 was insane in terms of double-digit fatalities. Sutherland Springs, Vegas concert, Douglas Stoneman and Santa Fe: two in Texas, and two school shootings, and it seems like the Vegas one could have hit 100 in deaths with just more time. Then in fall 2018, Pittsburgh synagogue and something at a bar in SoCal. Every year since 2010 at least one with double digits.

    Building security really wasn't even a thing in the '90s but there was also no meaningful expectation of mass shootings.

    To give an example of the gravity of this number of shootings.

    Today is only the 215th ****ing day of this year. This. Is. Insane.

    I don't think the compadres belong in that list. Innocent civilians caught in the middle of drug wars is just as terrible.

    Likely an Antifa Beto supporter trying to drum up sympathy points for his flailing campaign.
