Oh hell no

Live video feed on college shooting, of course being spun to the tune of "mass shooting"

the article i was reading made it sound like there were two "gunmen" shooting at each other.  i wonder if is a drug deal gone south, or maybe a ccw helped stop a school shooting?

Well, if either of those are the case, this will be the last we will hear about it.

FOXNews on TV said it was gang-related, and it's already starting to drop off the news radar.  On several sites, it went from a gigantic banner to a tiny little blurb

I have reached a conclusion regarding every member of this forum.
I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.

Criminals commit crime <yawn>
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

The shooter was black, that also kills the story.  Disaffected white male (or Asian if it's a slow news day) shoots up the place are the only ones that count.

This.

IMO, body count has to be double digits, and have a clear element of "spree shooting" rather than simple individual crime/dispute elements before the MSM is willing to overlook the racial issues.

I bet the entire D.C. Sniper issue wouldn't have been national news had the MSM somehow known in advance the rifle was stolen, and Lee and Malvo were black.
I promise not to duck.

If a CCW citizen stops the shooting at one or two victims, then by definition it's not a mass murder.  So therefore guns in the hands of citizens cannot stop mass murders  :facepalm:

I think that they're already using this lack of logic  =(
