Do they publish this every time there's a school shooting? Swear I've seen this before.
There is a wikipedia article about it.
They say it's a recuring series and they are on number 37.
Yes. It does help drive the point home
37 times and counting. Part of the joke is that they just change a few words to localize each shooting, as no one has done anything at all to address the issue since they first published the original article in 2014.
Dumping antidepressants in the water is starting to look more and more effective as a mechanism for positive change in America.
Brave New World.
Merica sends their thoughts and prayers
Merica doesn’t actually give a shit either way. I’m surprised we aren’t keeping some kind of public score board with the names and body counts.
The numbers are clear. On average, 1-2 mass shootings every single day.
Yeah, but like who is #1? Which state is #1? And where can I bet on the next mass shooting? If it’s not a game show by now, we are missing out on a billion dollar industry.

Oh, well that’s a list I’m okay with. 👍
