There have been at least 50 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 19. Thirteen were on college campuses, and 37 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 24 people dead and at least 66 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

Only 50? IIRC that's a marked improvement from recent previous years.

Recent years have been wildly exaggerated. This is a frighteningly real number.

that honestly seems like on the low side

The front side is a little lower, but still high enough to kill children.

They're going to scapegoat people with mental illness and start taking their rights away more and more. Then they'll start using that to target people they don't like. Take certain prescriptions? Now you're on the "dangerous person's list" now "dangerous people" can't hold certain jobs or public office. Been put on a "mental health" hold by the police ever? Same thing. Then the police can just use their "discretion" to put anyone they don't like on a mental health hold. LGBT? That means you're "mentally unhealthy" don't believe in God? Believe it or not "mental health problems" not Republican? Only a psycho believes in dirty socialism. Brown skin? (Insert racist stuff about inferior brain power) Now, of course we can't allow the "mentally unhealthy people" to procreate! So we'll have to sterilize them. Of course they can't be trusted, so we'll need to supervise them at all times! Work is good for mental health so we can give them "jobs" at the "mental health" camps!

Going to? The US has been doing that since the day it gained its independence.

What if I want to actively participate?

Go for kindergarten, surely they’re easier targets.

Idk i think a gaggle of abortioners at a clinic would be even easier targets. Plus most of them are gonna be worth 2 points.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True. You could hit a killtacular in no time.

That's the fun stuff missing from modern GTAs

It was a Halo streak. For killing five ops in four seconds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Miss that unreal tournament kill streaking goodness. GODLIKE

A bit like the green card lottery, school shootings are a lottery for "post natal abortions"©

Fun part: every parent gets to play.
