I mean, you can’t tell the mass shootings without a scorecard, and people are scrambling to throw shit in the air about “prayer shaming” and “terrorism” and try to obscure the fact that people getting shot in large numbers is a now-routine and uniquely-American fact of life. It sounds like the dude in San Bernadino bought all these guns in a perfectly legal fashion without having to go to Secret Criminal Terrorist Free Gun Costco anyway.
It’s fine. It’s life now. Once we as a country rolled over on the mass-murder of elementary school children at Christmas-time, that was the end. Movie theater? Church? Facility for the developmentally disabled? SHRUG EMOJI. Apparently this is just the price of doing business because we gave away a non-trivial amount of political power to the professionally piss-pants frightened, and we decided that being fucking stupid was a valid way to live your life.
It’s getting really really hard not to feel like I need to decamp to some country with better broadband and less likelihood of getting gunned down because Bubba the Redneck Reindeer wants to pretend he can fight off the 82nd Airborne. Meanwhile, I’ll just sit here and try to suppress the urge to consider myself superior to these dumb fucks. Not trying real hard, either.
