I hate to break it to you... but there are multiple mass shootings every day. We only hear about the ones the mainstream media wants you to hear about. Think about that. If you look at the pic below... there were at least 5 mass shootings that took place yesterday. But because the most people died in Wisconsin, we are hearing all about it. There are days in past years where there were more than one and the media did not report ANY of them.

This shooter targeted someone who worked at the casino, who was not present... so instead he shot that persons friends. He was also affiliated with the casino in some way, likely previously employed there.

Also, think about WHY they are becoming more prolific... look at the current state of the country and how divided it is. Some would blame Trump for that division. One might argue another point that the deadliest mass shooting in US history occurred during his administration. (2017 Las Vegas)

It would be interesting, however, to study the political affiliation, if any, of all of these perpetrators and see what those numbers look like.

It's more a phenomena that's a direct result of a person's social circumstances. And as we all drift further apart from one another, more and more people will feel alienated or misunderstood, which over time can effect their mental health.

Mental health is also a huge factor in these situations, which has little to do with who is in power.

The more these shootings take place, the more the disenfranchised are going to see this as their best option of retribution or ending of their suffering.

According to The Violence Project, nearly all mass shooters have four things in common:

Early childhood trauma and exposure to violence at a young age
An identifiable grievance or crisis point
Have studied the actions of past shooters and seek validation for their methods and motives
The means to carry out an attack

So you can't verifiably relate the reasons for their occurrences to any one president in office. Typically, mass shooters don't spontaneously decide to go shoot up a place... not all, but most, spend a period of time before-hand planning or obsessing about their actions.

Mass shootings are technically defined as 3 (or 4 in some studies) or more people being killed or injured, shot in public.

Thanks for pointing that out.

No need to be sorry. I think the shooter and police are in a gunfight in the beginning and shooter goes down pretty quick. She seems relatively quiet until the gunfire. Then you can hear them say “what’s he doing now?” And someone says something like “they got him”. That seems to be where she starts to lose it.

People were shushing her, but she is obviously traumatized.

You can hear her say a couple times further in “that guy got shot in the head right in front of me”. Honestly, when I heard that I instantly imagined being in her position and realized it’s hard to say how I would have reacted. I can talk all the shit I want here... but if it were me in her place, I might actually shit my pants and pass out. Lol

Scary shit, hope I'm never in that situation.

investigators believe the gunman was targeting a specific person he was angry at, but the person wasn’t at the casino at the time. Instead the gunman decided to shoot some of the intended victim’s friends or co-workers, police said. One other person was injured.

Pawlak said it was not clear if the shooter was a former employee of the restaurant or casino, but said “there’s some relationship that had to do with employment”.

“Whether or not they all worked there, we’re still working on,” he said.

It started under Trump's watch by Trump himself and his misfits of low life white trash base who are loyal to Trump. Biden has nothing to do with it. It's a fact, not an alternative fact, Kellyanne Conway.

You are weapons grade stupid. Do a little reading and you'll learn they never stopped.

No, in fact, if I were there, I'd push the whiney old gal out in the parking lot yelling, "Here, take her, take her, we'll call it even."
