In reply to the discussion: Shootings right now: Tulsa hospital. Wal-Mart in PA, high school in Los Angeles [View all]Zeitghost
(4,557 posts)67. You must have misunderstood my point
I am not "good with" any murder. I, like most would prefer a rate of zero. My point, which I thought was pretty clear, was that things are not worse now than they have been for most of the past half century. That was a response to someone appearing to
ask why things are worse now and my reply, was that they are not.
Wether or not the media is "over" reporting, is a personal opinion. But the fact that murders and other tragic events are much more widely publicized now than they were in the in the past is not in dispute.

OP
Had to look up where the hell Pittston, PA is - it's near Wilkes-Barre in NE PA.

It is seemingly uncontrollable due to GOP staunchly defending 2A. Get used to it??

I guess everybody is trying to get in their shootings before Democrats take their guns!

That's my question, too. Seems more than coincidental. I wonder if there is a common thread?
