The really sad part is, that if it's white folks, it would too, because obviously heavily armed social workers could've killed those shooters first.
They will be gentle loners that no one suspected could do this. They just had a love of fire arms and some problems making friends.
Yup.. The usual suspects.
One thing i don't understand though, at least the helicopter shots show police just casually doodling along. Shouldn't there be a bit more.. "stress", if there's actually three active shooters roaming around?

Over the police scanner, people are wondering why the nearby golf course is still not evacuated and why people are golfing.. Yeah, makes you wonder what everyone is doing.

Lets be fair to the police, its hard to evacuate people, especially if they don't have a place to send them to. If they don't' know where the shooters are, causing panic isn't a great plan.

While i agree that causing panic obviously is stupid, you know.. If i play golf somewhere, and there's hundreds of police showing up (the course apparently is close by).. I start to check my cellphone.

But that is accurate information based on what the police have said...?
I get it now, the US doesn't do anything to curb these shootings because they are training our mental fortitude against terrorism. So if something happens Americans can just do "oh some terrorists shot up some place....*shrug* that happened twice last month".

Long way to go if you would've listened to the father, literally crying on the phone to the reporter, because he was in terror when he heard that his daughter were in the building.
edit:
Apparently, the gunman/men walked into a xmas party/award ceremony of county employees. Maybe a "revenge" for being fired?

The key is that the government agencies that would investigate these events are under or not funded and there are numerous restrictions on how they are allowed to collect information. Because its way easier to defund enforcement than to change laws. So even if someone in the government wants to look at this from a very data driven approach, there is no data.
As boring as it is to watch the live-feed, thumbs up to the police for requesting and to journalists for honoring an agreement to not show anything important.
So, I've been thinking about moving abroad. I wanted to move to Germany or Japan. Not sure. Maybe an island somewhere? I'm sick of "civilized" society.
