1. I think the fact it's appearing more like a dispute between two or more people,

rather than a planned attack on the crowd, is the main reason not much more discussion.

At a minimum, we ought to be talking about guns and laws that allow them at large gatherings.

2. "Too soon" "Emotions are too raw" "Can't have a non heated discussion about the topic now" Same old shit.

[Aristus]

3. Only one person was killed. If twenty people had been killed, then it would be a 24-hour news story.

Cynicism very much intended.

16. No matter how cynical I get, I can't keep up. -Lily Tomlin. - nt

4. take your point. but, is there really that much more to discuss here?

everyday gun violence. no particular agenda, motivation, background, story line hook ...

It ain't terrorism, it ain't politics, it ain't immigration, it ain't Taylor ...

[Zeitghost]

9. Do people only care about a mass shooting if a convenient political narrative can be attached?

Yes.

[stopdiggin]

12. the answer, whether we like it or not, is that 'mass shootings' are relatively commonplace

and, unless there is something particular the sets them apart (like a racial or political angle) ...
Yeah, they're good for about a day or two (unless you happen to live in that neighborhood).

( there was another shooting in the NewYork subway systems, roughly concurrent. not a whole lot more on that one either. )

But, hey - you want to start another discussion about rampant gun violence, and ridiculous access ... I'm with ya'. And nobody here is going to say 'nay'. But also - we've kind of covered that a time or two ...

5. Mentally unstable, stupid people should not be legally able to possess firearms.

10. It is highly likely they are gang members.

8. We all gotta catch our breath for the next one...

you know...

keep our powder dry
take a cool-down lap
take a breather
take a sabbatical
take a smoke break

c'mon...we have to have a lunch break sometime.

[MOMFUDSKI]

13. On to the next one.

Plenty more where that came from.

[sarisataka]

14. Once it was realized

It wasn't a MAGA terrorist the story lost most of its usefulness

[Kaleva]

21. Non-whites with no political motive. Story sinks.

[brooklynite]

17. Perhaps you could post what you think needs to be discussed.
