This weekend’s mass shootings come as the country mourns the victims of its deadliest mass shooting this year. Days earlier, 18 people were killed in a shooting in Lewiston, Maine.
Guns, of course. But let’s don’t say to make them illegal or americans get mads telling you isn’t about weapons and everything can be a weapon. Well then try do a mass shootings with an hammer, a knife or a rock.
I didn’t know the onion did this.
They’ve been publishing almost the same article for something like a decade.
everything can be a weapon.
Those people are so annoying.
I usually ask them why we don’t replace the military and police’s guns with spoons. Save a lot of money. You can also kill people with a spoon.
I think there is a kind of obsession with violence and needs to feeling powerful. Really weapons should not exist at all, even the nuclears one. Wars make no sense as killing or wishing the dead of someone. In Europe even police don’t go around easly with guns, it is common sense.
Yep, guns are a scary jump in easy ways to kill people.
I hardly believe in usa sometimes, thinking about common people who goes around with guns. Why? Why any should have an easy way to kill someone else? It does not make any sense.
Because when guns were a little harder to come by, and to kill people with, a bunch of rich white guys managed to start a new country. Quickly, they added the Bill of Rights to our constitution with the 2nd amendment that says i have the basic right to own a gun.
But its actual meaning has been debated ever for decades.
You can go back further than 20 years to gather thoughts and prayers. I think you need at least 100 years worth for something to start happening.
Between Friday and Sunday, 12 mass shootings took place,
that’s gotta be a fucking record, right?
I don’t think i want to know.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In Texarkana, Texas, three people were killed and three others were injured in a shooting at a party in the back room of a business a little after 9 p.m. on Saturday, police said.
At some point during this fight, at least two men there pulled out rifles and started shooting," read a statement from the Texarkana Texas Police Department posted to social media on Sunday morning.
Officers said they heard gunshots and saw a large crowd dispersing from the area, according to a statement issued by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department on Sunday morning.
The shooting was the result of an isolated dispute between two people that escalated into violence, Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw said during a Sunday afternoon news conference.
Police said at least 15 people were injured — two of them critically — in a shooting in the North Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side early Sunday morning.
Chicago Police officers responding to the scene saw a man open fire at the site of a gathering just after 1 a.m., according to a news release from the department.
The original article contains 722 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Not a good summary. Each paragraph is a different location. Not the bot’s fault, just the wrong application
This isn’t new, it’s gang and drug violence. Stop calling it mass shootings…
So people don’t count if they’re in a gang or do drugs? Mass shooting is the correct term if the shooter is “actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. Implicit in this definition is the shooter’s use of a firearm.”
