No mention of the Chicago L train shooting?

Unfortunately, 4 people shot and killed at about 5:30 am.

The alleged shooter is arrested.

Any reason we should talk about this all-too-common occurrence?

No! Not so long as we allow the tail (NRA) to wag the dog (politicians).

Ah ha ha, the shooter was black so you had to rush over here to do that thing y'all do. It's so transparent and pathetic.

I would say 4 shot and killed in a public place meets the definition of mass shooting which is ostensibly what this thread is about.

Let’s just boil this last situation to what matters:
1) thoughts and prayers
2) more guns will make us safer
3) it’s too early to politicize

Throw in “it’s a mental health problem, not a gun problem” while cutting mental health funding/services.

I was thinking just a couple of days ago that we've been lucky that there haven't been any school shootings in a while.

Looking at multiple sources to see how it's discussed. Fox "news" says the first thing to do is to pray.

Disgusting.

Oh...don't forget a NRA favorite. "Guns don't kill people, people kill people".

Nothing will change. Because this country SUCKS.

“Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition!”

Not far from where we live and know some
Teachers. Hearing at least 5 dead with other casualties

Fuck your prayers. Fix the fucking laws.

Schools close during the summer, so we get a lull.

These events keep happening, therefore it appears someone has tricked fox “talent” and their audience into thinking prayer has a macro effect.

Or, maybe, they’re just utterly full of shit ghouls.
