Mass Shooting in Tennessee, 3 dead and 14 wounded
- Thread starter Grimminski
- Start date
These have been happening for a while probably. As long as it continues to be posted and they aren't forgotten like always then it's good.
The pacing of shootings makes it look like shooting is immediately replaced/overwritten by another...All are tragic and the politicians supporting weapons rights are criminals.
I did watch a documentary stating a shooting increases the risks of a shooting happening and this seems sadly true.

Only two days in the past two weeks without one, and most of the days had several each.
Greatest country in the world, but you can't go out anywhere without the possibility of being shot and you can't drink the tap water because it will give you cancer.

I'd suggest that they are happy with these shootings. I know when I'm not happy about something, I do something to change it. They do not. I'd suggest that this is what they want because it sells more guns for their corporate ownership and it hurts public education and the GOP's most heavily moneyed opposition in the teacher's unions. It's a feature not a bug.
Those are problems in a lot of countries.
What is strange to me is they seemingly are trying to shock us and these last two may have involved multiple shooters.
This is straight up evil.
And our response as a nation is beyond cowardly.
I think you nailed it here. If these events didn't turn a profit for those in power, something would have been done long ago.

Our country has easier access to tools to act out actions with and american culture in general pushes a get it done yourself or a make your voice heard mentality
Copy cat cases happen, but the main thing is guns in general are easier tools to kill with, a knife is a more personal spaced method of killing thus the mentality behind it takes a bit more of a tipping typically
Being able to point and shoot people quickly gives a sense of power and control a nothing can stop me in this moment rush
Where say a mass stabbing is slow, messy, physically personal, a lot of people who are mass shooters are cowards at the end of the day
"But no one reports on Chicago."
"Can't blame the NRA! We don't even know if the shooter was a member of us!"
Because I happen to be local enough to know...

I passed the Representative for this region, Chuck Fleischmann, in the grocery store this morning. Per an agreement I have with my spouse, I refrained from asking him to please make sure my children can open carry in school to protect themselves. (sarcasm)

Also, the signature summer event for downtown Chattanooga is currently going on...

Riverbend Festival | Chattanooga's Original Music Festival
Riverbend Festival, or Riverbend, named for the bend in the Tennessee River by locals, began in June of 1982 as a five-night festival in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It started as a way to come together downtown to celebrate the community we all share. After missing a year due to the pandemic, we will

This is era and news reporting. It seems like there's a huge uptick in shootings but surprisingly 2022 is tracking below 2021 and 2020. However overall they have doubled in count over the past ten years.
Honestly, I don't get the "WHAT THE FUCK?!" responses at this point.
Maybe a few hundred of these shootings ago, that could have been a reasonably expected response, but now we're closer to, "Why, yes, of course there was a shooting in America. It's a day ending in 'y' today."
I look forward to a few really strongly-worded tweets, and absolutely nothing else being done.

"How dare you politicize this tragedy!" Like, what other solutions are we supposed to be looking for? Spiritual?

It's absolutely fucked how many shootings we have in the US a year.
I'm just gonna stay inside forever
RIP to the victims. America does nothing to protect its citizens from guns.

Ridiculous and sad that multiple posters could figure this out immediately, myself included.
I know that unfortunately these things are a common occurrence in the US but I don't remember seeing so many threads about these incidents on Era in such a short time span. Don't know what to say except I hope for everyone's safety.
No, it's the 15th mass shooting in the last 7 days

Damn, we can't stop winning if we're beating the average in parts then
Five mass shootings in a week is not unusual in America. That's the most fucked up this about all of this; this is the normal.
One of the ways that you saw the country going back to normal after lockdown is that people started shooting each other again.
My first thought also..I was like wait is this the same or different than the one that happened a week ago in Chattanooga?? If it's a different one then it makes me wonder if it's some kind of gang warfare or retaliatory shit going on.
I just... this year seems exceedingly bleak with how many mass shootings we have day after day after day. When will it ever end?
So anywhere that's a public gathering space is being targeted it seems. Now I have to wonder if these recent shootings are connected
I'm speechless. It's surrealNo, it's the 15th mass shooting in the last 7 days
