Has Anyone Mentioned To Prospect Of Copy-Cat Mass Shootings?......

Seems to me that there are a number of events every year in the U.S. where people book rooms high up to watch the festivities. How are we going to protect ourselves in the future against 'copy-cat' mass shootings?

Which makes the thought of the next one truly horrifying- not that this one and the others aren't bad enough.

As it almost always is after a horrific incident like this. And there almost never is a copy cat attack.

It frightens me. I am actually surprised it hasn't happened at a a venue like a football stadium or something similar.

I'm so hate being in crowds that it probably won't be an issue for me. But it still scares me.

I hate being in a mass of people.

I live on a large property with geese, chickens, and cats. If a human showed up, I'd feel crowded lol.
