Are we sure Hollywood wasn’t shooting a film or something? All FedEx facilities are gun-free zones. Silly to think someone had a real gun in a gun-free zone.

That number seems really high, so I checked it out. I am surprised that you are absolutely correct, although I guess I should not be surprised.

Because these people are being used to further suppress our freedom and liberties daily.

The gubmit and media need about a 5 of these a week to wear down the moderates in this nation to give it up.

This is how freedom dies.

You understand how news works, right?

1 person shot in a drug deal is pretty common. 1 domestic violence event happens every day, in most large cities. Those are police blotter events—they make a newspaper.

Those events happen to people who are in “high risk” situations.

When someone walks into a place where 500 people go to work—and is not a high risk environment—and they start shooting the place up; that is news.

The way it’s written has become a trope. But the incident itself is front page news every time.

This bullshit that every death is newsworthy is simple anathema to the definition of news.

April 20th is supposedly a “deadly” day in human history. Ominous things happen on April 20. Examples are the Columbine massacre on April 20, 1999. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. President McKinley declared war on Spain on April 20, 1898. The Bay of Pigs disaster ended on April 20, 1961. The NASA shooting happened on April 20, 2007. The Irish Protestant-Catholic conflict reached 1,000 deaths on April 20, 1974.

Several other high-profile murders, explosions, plane crashes, and conflicts around the world began or reached grim milestones in mid-April. Timothy McVeigh blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1996. The Waco disaster happened on April 19, 1993. An explosion on board a US navy warship killed 47 on April 19, 1989.

Mostly because their bosses and coworkers treat each other like crap.

AND, everyone is raised thinking they are “special.” When they are not treated to their unrealistic expectations—they freak out.

But, the a-hole boss is usually the cause.

Lousy training of frontline supervisors is the cause of most turnovers and most violence in the office/workplace.

Kid stuff compared to Chicago, LA, Philly, Baltimore, most cities in NJ of size, and NYC. But, Chicago and I think Houston continue to stack them up like cord wood.

I think it’s the anniversary of Columbine. Also the “pot” day. Also Hitler’s birthday.

Pick one. Ha ha.

YOU ARE 100000000000% CORRECT!!!!!

No matter the commie run city, with their total gun control within said city, the murder, rape and robbery rates run at the top of the list.

THAT is why they want the 4 new supreme court Marxist’s. So they can have the very first case a gun case so they can ban guns and say the 2d amendment does not apply to the normal citizen.

The Infamous “80 Million” put a Demented, Socialist, Psychotic Pedophile and his ho in to run the country and we now have daily “shootings”. This is proof of what I’ve been saying for years. The DNC Snowflakes are orchestrating these “ mass murders” to push their Nazi Gun Confiscation Program.

From 1 hour ago:

“President Joe Biden is expected to be briefed on the shooting this morning, the White House confirmed it has contacted Indianapolis officials.”

Slow Joe will get to the bottom of this!

The most dangerous place is a democrat run city. Nearly ALL the murders occur in rat shit holes.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

Can we assume the killer wasn’t white since it’s not in the first paragraph?

And since the FBI’s involved that he’s not black... (if he’s black the FBI and press are doing their best to ‘move on’...

I haven’t been watching this one... so can someone tell me the killer’s race?

No news on the shooters identification?

If he was white it would have been 'leaked' to the press within an hour. If he had been black the FBI and press would be trying to 'change the subject'... so it looks like he could be an illegal or a Muslim.

If you google deadly events on April 20, you will see a ton of articles chronicling all the major events over history that have occurred on or around April 20.

For example.

Adolf Hitler was born on 4/20
The Columbine High School Mass murder was 4/20
The BP Deep Water Horizon Oil Rig blew up on 4/20
The government murdered the Branch Dividians on 4/19
Tim McVeign blew of the OKC building on 4/19

This is just a small sample of crazy things that have happened

Look at his link and see what you think....

Already heard the “searching for a motive” line from the local TV news reader.
********************************************************
Hell, I’d settle for them “searching for an identity”. I guess they need time to search and scrub his social media if it doesn’t fit the desired narrative.
