Time passes in increments of mass shootings

This work week began with 13 people being killed at the Washington Navy Yard and ends with 13 people being wounded in a mass shooting in a Chicago park. The TV news should just report mass shootings like they do the weather.

"It's looking like Monday is shaping up to being a hail of stray bullets... better bring a flack jacket!"

"We have had ~~005~~ 0 days with out a mass shooting!"

It's just a Chicago playground shooting. It'll be gone from the news by Monday.
