When 8 people are shot at a house party or barbecue it’s never considered a mass shooting. It’s a dispute

Anyone know the most common religion of the area? If most of the people in the class were killed, sounds like Christians may have been targeted.

Crude jokes about horrifying things are a well established part of emergency work, in context.

I don't want to assume about livius's post, but that post may be hinting that this thread isn't the "context" for "crude jokes about horrifying things." Anything posted in this thread, crude or not, is likely to be an initial reaction (maybe an immediate jest instead of humor as a coping mechanism, maybe an immediate jest in place of shock) from people who are probably far away and aren't terribly stunned (as if they'd heard that a shooting had happened at their children's school).

since I’m arguing for a stress-relief interpretation.

I wonder how many people posting in this thread have enough actual stress about this incident for this stress to manifest as a post.

Another consideration, which has appeared in a different but related way in recent news stories, is that even what may be genuine "gallows humor" may be misinterpreted in the wider world. (Those news stories involved text messages among police officers or prison guards that implied certain things; in each case, a defense emerged that the messages were humor and weren't serious, but not everyone has to believe these defenses.)

Around here, I'm thinking of misinterprations among other members of this site and lurkers out in the world. If anyone here does have genuine gallows humor, maybe this thread isn't the context for it.

“and only one shows a single-parent family.”

Wow, that is amazing. And that one was probably because of a death of one spouse.

Imagine our country today if that was still the case.

Now the next question I want answered is, "What religion did the people who got shot, say they were???"

“If he’s aiming for “Normies” why ask them what religion they are, normies are anyone who are not mental patients(Or druggies) what difference would it make what religion they are”

I wonder how sure anybody is that the shooter is the same guy as the poster on that whacky message board. It wouldn’t surprise me if there are those kinds of messages up there every day.

“There’s negative Obama stuff going on every day.”

True, but some of 0bama’s many f_ups are near impossible to cover up or spin away.

As good as the kneepad media is at covering up and/or spinning stories and/or simply not reporting a story, they can’t get away with it every time.

They were talking about this on the radio. It would be a weird coincidence that the school of the guy who stopped a terrorist attack, the obscure rural school, suddenly gets attacked?

I’m very sadly expecting such a thing.

We’ve gone Galt, moved to a rural well-armed area - but they’ll still find us when the time comes. Unless I go hide in the middle of the Cherokee National Forest where I won’t have an address, I’ll be tunable. Maybe even then, with Google maps. And I’m not quite ready to go to that extreme... yet ;)

Normies are people who are normal, have a wife or girlfriend, and a life/job.

This is how the "betas" see the modern world. On the right, the Alphas get lots of women, the normies get a woman, and on the bottom, the betas are left with nothing. It is really messed up and weird.

Shepherd Smith said he was horrified and he actually looked it at information he just received from a girl in the room that the shooter asked everyone to stand and state their religion.

Obviously, with some witnesses like her left alive, we will eventually know what religions were shot. Guessing it wasn’t Muslim.
