Interesting. You're not sure yet have no opinion? As far as starting it myself, I don't think I could deal with Fred further accusing me of peddling right wing talking points. It's too painful.
Quote:As I said, one person being shot is horrible.
Of course it is, this isn't something that even needs to be said.
Quote:The shooter seemed to "intend" to kill many more and did injure three others. I consider this a "mass shooting" but as you say it seems to be in the eye of the beholder. Do you have a number you use to differentiate?
You still didn't give a number. I don't have a number because "mass shooting" is a buzzword used to provoke a response. A shooting is a shooting. If you use the definition that three or more people were shot then the vast majority of "mass shootings" are gang related shootings.
