We all know the USA has one of the most diverse populations on the planet. They have some of the brightest individuals but also a great mass of ignorant individuals emboldened by the rhetoric of Trump.

That's rather daft, given it's an issue of relativity. There's no reason to suspect if we didn't have similar access to guns as the Americans, we'd have issues of mass shootings. We weren't exactly immune to them ourselves.
If a shooting of several worshipers happens in a Catholic church is it called a mass mass shooting?

Yay!
Guess it depends on the religion and or ethnicity of the shooter .

But you don't. So you haven't. The fundamental depravity of mankind one cannot legislate away. The lethatlity of weapons, and their availability, you can.
The idiots I'm trapped with over on this side of the Atlantic are confinced that because you can't do the first, you shouldn't even attempt the second.
It's like refusing to produce any antibiotics at all because some common bacteria exist in antibiotic-resistant form

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started giving everyone nukes. Given that they are so certain that more guns = more safety. And if they didn’t all have guns then it would only be the crimmos with guns

If it happened in Boston, it would be a Mass. mass mass shooting.
The pope would say "No Más"
Actually, uno más. If the shooter wore a mask it would be a Mass. mass mass masked shooting.

It's OK, my thoughts and prayers are in the post.
L. Ron has told me to be more respectful of the victims of the shootings. Sorry, Father Hubbard.
This was satirised by 'not the nine o'clock news'. In 1981.
We are living in a post-satire world.
It is a sad day when English folk are laughing at a mass shooting in America. And yet I find it hard to be outraged about that.
As noted on many occasions, people get the government (and the laws) they deserve.

Actually I am beginning to think that rather than offer thoughts and prayers, we should laugh at them. Laugh at the stupid dead and the soppy bereaved. Maybe that might make them think a bit more about their rights to carry arms being more important than a dead child.

Astonishing news breaking from Jersey City. Two active shooters, police officers among four or more casualties. Listening to the real-time scanner is crazy. A city centre turned into a warzone.
