        Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it would be categorised or described differently. A mass shooting is a mass shooting, no matter how often it happens.

    First mass shooting in the US.

    Unfortunately Montenegro beat us to the punch this year with a mass shooting killing 10 earlier yesterday.

      But anything outside the US doesn’t count, maybe even doesn’t exist, according to a majority of US citizens.
      It’s truly disturbing how common it is for 'Muricans to just forget and/or not care about anything outside the US. And even for things within the US, they forget timezones are a thing even though their own country has several.

          The footprints of our shoes were already there
You stole even the cat's food
And you're still licking the plate
Super pissed off with this ungrateful bunch
Today I hit the drums hard
Until they accuse me of mistreatment
If you don't understand the fact
Well, I throw it at you as cumbia, bossa nova, tango or vallеnato
As calabó or bamboo, highly defiant
With hot blood as Timbuktu
We're insidе the menu
2Pac is called 2Pac, because of Túpac Amaru of Peru
America isn't only the USA, pal
This is from Tierra del Fuego to Canada
You have to be so stupid, such an airhead
It's like saying that Africa is only Morocco
These scoundrels forgot that the calendar they use
Was invented by the Mayans
With the pre-Columbian Valdivia for a long time, uh
This continent walks
But even with all the marines
They can't get the peasant plague out off the showcase
This goes for the boss of the company
The machete isn't just for cutting cane
It's also for cutting heads

Here we are, we always are
We haven't left, we won't leave
Here we are, so that you remember
If you want it, my machete bites

The paramilitaries, the guerrillas
The children of the conflict, the gangs
The blacklists, the false positives
The murdered journalists, the disappeared
The narco-governments, everything they stole
Those who manifest and those who were forgotten
The persecutions, the coups
The bankrupt country, the exiles
The devalued peso
The drug trafficking, the cartels
The invasions, the immigrants without papers
Five presidents in eleven days
Close range shooting at the hands of the police
More than a hundred years of torture
The Nova Trova singing in the midst of a dictatorship
We are the blood that blows
The atmospheric pressure
Gambino, my brother, this really is America```

      There is actually more stuff than mentioned here.

      • A vehicle rammed a crowd, killing ten and injuring thirty.

      • A state judge shot himself in the face at the office on Monday.

      • FBI found a record number of homemade pipe bombs in Virginia.

    See what has happened is that the right didn’t have any faith in the government, and now the left doesn’t either.

    So, violent extremism is now the standard. Might Makes Right is the new system for these idiots. The Chinese propaganda is winning, we’re killing our own.

      The reason we don’t have any faith in government is because big corpo bought it because Reagan sold it and convinced both parties to keep it sold ever since.

      Since the beginning of civilization, to know who’s to blame, you need only look at the richest fucks profiting most from it. The well bribed, revolving door middle managers in DC ain’t it.

      Tolerance of greed, private shareholders demanding a firesale to goose the next quarter, growth/metastasis at all costs instead of equilibrium, the capital markets are what have destroyed us.

        Just elect 60 DNC senators and things will get fixed up so fast. Historians would call it a miracle.

        Every stance you extremists claim to care about is on the DNC platform.

          Yeah, the ACA, a heritage foundation conceived health care bandaid that further enshrined for profit health insurance vultures into American Healthcare was the best thing the DNC could do last time they had a supermajority.

          The DNC and the RNC take the same orders from the same bribers, defend their grift economy from us. Both parties work against the people.
