Only to be forgotten by tomorrow's mass shooting!
Wow it's down to just one a day now?
So far in September, I think we're up to something like one every 14 hours.
Soon enough, it'll be like Pacific Rim and we'll have a double event at the same location
Showing up to prom in the same dress as someone else, but its you and another student independently showing up with a rifle.
Honestly I'm shocked we haven't had a coincidental double mass shooting, but I'm also always surprised we don't have more assassinations? Or at least attempts. If you're gonna do it anyway, a senator is way cooler than just shooting up a mall or something
there was the baseball guy but he had shit aim
I'm the opposite of an expert, but I believe from what I've read is that a lot of mass shooters tend to have more concrete "plans" about specific attacks, but something (panic, timing, etc.) has a way of convincing them to go with the simple plan of "pick crowded area and shoot people" instead of targeted attacks.
Loser mentality tbh, can't even confidently commit to the last thing they'll ever do
Just like that scene in It's Always Sunny where Mac and Charlie look at each other in the restaurant, but it's both the school shooters opening their sports bag at the prom ball
the only way to stop a mass shooter is with a second mass shooter in the same location
They shoot all of each other's bullets midflight, then, with only one round left each, they shoot the guns out of each other's hands, saving the day. The NRA hails them both as heroes
They have a Lady and the Tramp moment where they realize they're both shooting the same person
something something …sucks up all the oxygen to extinguish the fire… something something
