I honestly give it a 50% chance that there’s some sort of mass casualty event in the next 12 hours related to this.

Given that there is more mass shootings in USA than days in a year, I think this ship has already sailed...

    There's a difference between a mass casualty event and the technical definition of a mass shooting. One is easily met by gangs doing a drive by. The other requires multiple emergency rooms, triaging people, and calling up neighboring counties for more resources.

    I'll leave you to figure out which one is a loaded political term and which one is the thing that gets 48 hours of close coverage on the news.
