4. Clearly we need more guns in good guys hands...

I am so tired of this garbage.

Look have your guns but keep them at home. Rescind all the personal conceal and carry laws And if you are caught with one on your person the go to jail for 5 years. This shit is ridiculous. I can’t bring my kid to a baseball game downtown mpls because chances are I will be walking past these areas to get back to our car.

7. Teen girl dead, five others wounded in mass shooting at Downtown Columbus Bicentennial Park

Police said there was no scheduled event at the park, but that the shooting occurred during "a private event that was promoted on social media."

"It appears that somebody organized over social media a large party/concert at the amphitheater there," Deputy Police Chief Tim Becker said.

The event was after park hours, there was no permit issued and not authorized or sanctioned by the city Recreation and Parks Department, Becker said.

The organizers "threw something together, potentially even charging admission to get in and concessions and a DJ is what we're being told," he said. "Upon our arrival, all of those people had fled with their equipment. They very quickly loaded up and took off."

9. 3 dead, multiple hurt in shooting near Youngstown bar

https://www.wfmj.com/story/43942136/2-dead-multiple-injured-after-shooting-at-youngstown-bar

The common thread appears to be large impromptu gatherings, lots of booze, etc. and late night.

If you are at home, sober, alone by 10 pm, your chances of being shot are pretty low.

11. Agreed!

Nothing good happens after 8 PM. Good nite!

I did not hear about any of these shootings on the news Maybe that was because where I live in Chicago this weekend they were 42 shootings in total all over the city and eight people dead so there was a lot of need for local coverage of different shooting locations on the north side west side and south side
One person shot two people shot mass shootings all bad overwhelming violence

13. Police, Police, Police...

Not a time for progressives to talk about "defunding" going in to 2022. "Law and order" is always a strong campaign message in times like this.
