Oh hey look its the predictable outcome of right wing fear mongering stoking the embers of stochastic terror.
I wonder what the opposition has to say.
"We need a strong republican party."
Oh cool, then.
This is Taylor Swift's fault because she hates white people.
Being rich and white - the highest stage of white genocide.
The shooter was some bald cracker, and the police took him alive too. Fucking white privilege.
Doesn’t look like it. Not that it really matters. Mayhem like this is a failure of the state.

The shooting is at least the 48th mass shooting in the United States so far this year
We're not even 48 days into the year yet 
List of mass shootings in the United States in 2024 - Wikipedia
List
The list is sortable in different ways. Wikipedia lists 46. Under the "list" section is...
Monthly statistics
Note that statistics are only updated at the very end of each month. The current month's statistics will therefore be blank.
That last sentence is simply factual but it makes me want to vomit.
CNN uses Gun Violence Archive as their source for that number, as does that Wikipedia article. That link actually shows 49, which means there was another mass shooting in the hour since my previous comment. Way to go Amerikkka
there was another mass shooting in the hour
I don't even know what to say.
🎶 And I’m proud to be an Americ— *bang bang bang bang bang*
I just updated the title right now to this. I like how they don't say "shot" they say "struck".
LIVE COVERAGE: Shooting reported at Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Victory Rally; 'several people' struck
Like Zeus' thunderbolts, these bullets came down from ~~Mt. Olympus~~ city hall to smite the unworthy
Or like the Las Vegas mass shooting. When was that exactly? ~5 years ago? All these shootings blend together in my mind even though that one had ~900 people injured.
I remember the Las Vegas shooting very well because the concert was sponsored by American Express and I worked as a concierge for them at the time
Sold many a platinum cardholder tickets to that event
Call me crazy but I think events like those deserve yearly commemorations. But bipartisan views on American exceptionalism hold that we must only rarely mention them again if ever. If we spend too much time thinking about mass shootings and tragedy - we might question the exceptionalism. And we mustn't do that. It's a scared conception.
They can't let something like that take off, or else we'd do nothing but commemorate past atrocities/tragedies. There would be multiple commemorations every day, which might make people realize that we don't have to live like this.
You can tell I am a true USAan because I have multiple stories about being both directly and tangentially involved in horrible tragedies
I hate that 9/11 is the big never forget moment, when my life has been a never-ending stream of calamities
hope you are taking care of yourself comrade, it sounds like you've been exposed to a lot of psychic radiation
Not to worry, I see a therapist once a month
I just tend to get morose during these cold winter months
Partially inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjfrJzdx7DA, we could set up twin pre-memorial sites (physical and webpages) for the people who will be shot in the US in September 2035 and for people who will be killed in car crashes in the US in September 2035. Leave room for 3000 pictures/bios at each. Hold a ceremony every October. Would the hate increase or decrease after they both inevitably fill up?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
That is still extremely bizarre. Had the exact same energy as Epstein the way the media just swept it under the rug all of a sudden
Turns out I orchestrated the entire thing to get people to stop using the concierge service
Unfortunately, in the case of the Vegas shooting, there was nothing they could uncover. The shooter left no notes, no manifesto, no background events, and nothing on his computer that could point to any motive. Like obviously he cracked for a reason, but the cops couldn't find anything as to why
Mandalay Bay guy was 2017, so 7 years ago
When they use that weaselly passive voice it means it was likely the cops who shot them. Just like that Houston church shooting the other day, if they say "people were ~~shot~~ struck" but don't directly say it was the shooter in question then it was probably the cops who did it.
It's not weaselly. It's just in case any of the projectiles were falling acorns.
Squirrelly, even.
Breaking: Kinetic object fired from long rifle strikes skin membrane of numerous civilians standing by
Editor: Hmm, "strike" is a little violent sounding. How about "makes contact with"?
Kinetic in da membrane
Don't just stand there. Run and hide
So he can't draw a beeeeeeeeeeeeead
Deeply twisted nation.
Wanna know how I got these bullet wounds? Dad was a libertarian and a G*mer, he came home one night, twisted off the daily wire propaganda...
Go to super bowl parade, get shot. 
i can't believe the woke mind virus did this
Thank you for posting this, meant to post this link but forgot to paste.
I was rooting for KC to not end up getting shot here in SF.
Its not like you were rooting for the Dodgers.
