Bammy’s regime has 20 of the 44 listed. Makes one wonder what has caused the spike under his regime?
July 18, 1984. We were on vacation in San Diego when that guy went ape-s**t in the McDonalds down there. I was 13 and watching it on TV in our hotel room that night had a bad effect on me.
But I remember at the time that was the first mass shooting since the clock tower shooting Texas in 1966. So these were rare incidents back then.....NO we have something every week. Jesus can’t come soon enough.
They forgot the shooting at ESL in Sunnyvale, Ca at my company in February 1988. 7 of my co-workers were killed and 5 were injured.
“Bammy’s regime has 20 of the 44 listed. Makes one wonder what has caused the spike under his regime?”
Silly Goose, it’s caused by man caused global climate change.
“They forgot the shooting at ESL in Sunnyvale, Ca at my company in February 1988. 7 of my co-workers were killed and 5 were injured.”
I remember that too. Wasn’t the perp trying to hunt down s poor girl he was stalking and terroizing?
Three of those shootings occurred near where I live. Four of my then-high schoolmates lost three parents between them as a result of one of the shootings a couple of decades ago, which also took the lives of a couple more people from my church. I knew that, at the time, it was labeled the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. It was mind-boggling to read the list you linked; there have been more mass shootings than ever really crossed my radar. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m afraid there is a numbness to these incidents after so many.
Yep. Laura Black.
20 mass hootings so far under Obama.
9 mass shootings during Bush years.

I find it interesting that so many of these happened before the so-called “assault rifle” became popular.
I’m sure that if you look closer at the times before 1970 you will find many more mass killings. I remember seeing a tabloid photo of a 1950s family who picked up a hitch hiker and he murdered the entire family and dumped their bodies in a well. The man, wife, several kids, and I remember the youngest child laying there dead still in the little cowboy outfit he had on.
More than Clintoon and W combined. (18)
Rats. Should have thought of that!
And the clock’s still ticking on bammy’s regime.
For some odd reason.
How many under Clinton? I would guess there is something about the dims social justice agenda that encourage it. Remember 911 belongs to Clinton as it was planned during his presidency.
