3am...gang or drug violence...not a mass shooting.
A mass shooting, as the public understands, is one that is a random act of violence in a public place.
Not a drug den at 3am.
Unless you have proof and a source, you're literally telling me to not make something up... while making something up.
Since you're actually legit, that sucks man.
Also dude was a pedophile felon? The fuck was he out of jail for?
Yea but how the fuck did that let him out? That link, his fucking rap sheet is a mile long. Like WTF is with our justice system.
You're right it seems. They should've said "mass killing"
Still weird that we talk about semantics though.
Semantics matter greatly. The general public hears mass shooting and thinks, random act of violence. They don't hear "3am crack house was shot up by rival gang".
