With the election coming up, the Progressives must be turning over those Queens of Diamonds in search of an election issue.

IMHO

I love the way M.B. takes what looks like an implausible subject, to the unwashed masses, and weaves a fictional story around it. It makes the people who have never thought about such things, think about such things. Thank you M.B. for writing that, and thank you smokingfrog, for pointing it out to me.

Yes. As we know, people who are nearly insane cannot be manipulated, and the government would never engage in a clandestine operation to further their goals.

Why, next thing people will tell me is that the NSA records all of our conversations, or the metadata surrounding them, for later use! Total tin-foil stuff.

Mass Shooting is a criminal justice term just like Serial Killer....

A Serial Killer is labeled when more than 3 different victims at different times are killed with same MO.

A Mass Shooting is when more than 3 victims are killed at the same time, same place, by same shooter.

It is criminal justice terminology and not someone just labeling for media purposes. A quick view for the community of what is happening and how to interpret it.

The Murder/Suicide of domestic violence gives the crime perspective...it is different from a random shooter who kills a restaurant full of people who are strangers...and may still be on the loose.

Yes, it’s repugnant but it gives all hearing the news a perspective on the type of crime and if they are in danger, if they live in the area. Nothing out of the ordinary and used nationwide.

Next thing people will tell me that there is actually someone who didn’t know that the government has been monitoring phone conversations and metadata for years.

Grandfather had been jailed for three years for shooting his 8 year old son in the head in a hunting accident in 2001. I would bet it wasn’t an accident.

Sounds as if the Dad just snapped or he was as big of a mess as his daughter. Sad.
