Apparently there is currently an active shooter situation in Texas involving two people driving around, one in a stolen USPS van, shooting people at random. It sounds like the gig economy for mass shooters.

I guess it's been at least a few days since the last mass shooting, right?

Looks like a suspect is dead. It still doesn't seem clear if one or two shooters were involved.

There have been too many shootings in churches lately so the term mass shooting confuses me. I prefer the term "Saturday"

Guess it was inevitable that the jokes would become reality. We really are the country of constant mass shootings.

Wonder if we'll do anything about it before I die...from a shooting!

Yeah, it's not like anyone benefits from increasing the general anxiety level of society or encouraging massive debate over a narrow issue with an extreme partisan divide.

At least Odessa has a mayor firmly grounded in reality and is all about what really matters:

Mayor of Odessa posted:

“There are a lot of people hurt and a lot of people scared,” Odessa Mayor David Turner said in a brief interview as he drove back to the city from Fort Worth. “In a situation like this prayer is the most important thing. We’ll get through this.”

The Odessa goon, reporting safe. Went to the store to get some napkins saw a bunch of sirens and hubub, and people were standing inside the store like they were scared to leave. Checker told me to be careful because there was an active shooter. Proceeded to the liquor store, but it was closed :negative:

Do you think we'll ever reach a point where the rate people killed by mass shootings exceeds replenishment from the birth rate? Americans aren't going to give up their guns and it seems like the best possible solution is to just wait until there aren't any left.
