Pretty depraved to attack folks shopping at the store, or teachers and grade school kids. That’s where we are.

Just add funerals to the list.

We must often note that people in the GOP's core backbone live mostly in gated, high-security properties and can afford the best of security measures.

So maybe not a mass shooting, although lots of rounds were fired.

One of the problems with immediate news is that first reports often have wrong, incomplete or missing information.

In this particular case, there are questions about victims who didn't present to police or a hospital. So the number of people shot may change again.

A shooting in a cemetery. My God. Funeral as bait for hunting humans.
