No, not a word about those shootings. And they occur constantly.

Perhaps Trump was being too proactive in preparing for hurricane Dorian, where they couldn’t make much negative comments about that…

I’m watching him on Periscope. One of his biggest crowds. Hard to keep up with the gun control nuts.

Not likely to be a false flag during a major hurricane.

There is a world of difference between a shooting around public housing in some urban neighborhood and random shooting at dozens and sometimes hundreds of people going about their daily business. Because people like you don't get shot at some public housing in Chicago, but do get shot and killed at a concert in Las Vegas, or working at a desk in Virginia Beach or watching a movie in a suburban movie theater or just innocently driving down a road in Odessa.

I assume you know that. I assume you know that a Chicago urban killing does not affect people the same way a mass killing affects people who like them are just going about their day bothering no one.

Do you get it now?

White make, mid thirties. The Odessa police speaking now indicated, he knew who he was.

“A Mail Van?”

Nobody's mentioned "going postal" yet?

How can a guy shoot 30 people in Texas? I thought they had open carry. Not one person thought to shoot this guy?

If you’re going to call me an idiot, at least give me the courtesy of pinging me. ;)

That being said, I question the value of active shooter alerts propagated by an archaic message board.
