Shooter is confirmed dead. There are other fatalities but the number is not known at this time.
As much as this happens to not talk about it even now will not change anything. It would be like ignoring a doctor telling you why the epidemic is affecting so many.
Instead of getting offended by a topic that needs to be discussed SO THAT we have fewer of these events, you should want solutions to these events so that nobody is going to post them at all because they don't happen so frequently.
I am sick of seeing these stories in the news. This happened at a bar, but it could happen anywhere. But because it happened at a bar, and since I go to a sports bar every weekend, and because of the AMOUNT of mass shootings we have, it is going to be in my mind when NOBODY in this country should have to live in fear of dying while in public.
It still remains out of all our first world allies with comparative wealth, WE are #1 in firearm injuries and deaths.
My 1984 HS yearbook HAS a picture of a mass shooting in it. Back then, that was a rare event, bad enough, BUT RARE. But because of the GOP and NRA they have created a flooded market, lied to the public, and all to protect the profits of one industry.
If you like me are rightfully tired of seeing this, NOW is the time to talk about it and every day is the time to talk about it. Nothing is going to change if the problem isn't faced.
When is the time to talk about it? Are the people who died in this McDonalds in 1984 any less dead because some don't want to talk about it?
I think if you want to honor the victims of the Synagogue, of Parkland, of Vegas, you don't wait, you say something.
The frequency of these events since 1984 has SKYROCKETED.
