So why didn't today's shooting at a school near Columbine make it into Google's "Headlines?"

[LAS14]

It's the second in "U.S." One killed (he rushed one of the shooters) and 8 wounded. So.... Same ol', same ol' ????????????????????????

1. Sadly it has become an everyday occurance in the US. Support them guns!!

2. The Ugly Truth is Americans Have Become Numb to Shootings that are Commonplace, Almost Daily

3. Different era. Columbine had an enormous impact on American culture

back in 1999 - it was one of the most jarring events of the decade. Today it would be just another mass shooting.

4. Not enough people died...

Plus school shootings are daily. Why report them?

5. There was a shooting at the University of North Carolina that

received very little attention at the end of April. Has the media decided this is no longer NEWZ??? Or has the gun lobby decided that the ongoing reports are for bad business.

Very strange. If we as a society have decided this is 'business as usual?' We have all lost our souls.

7. We have lost our souls...

Correct. It's a sad sad time in America...

6. Because most of us wake up saying

Gee it’s another shi**y day in America.

Every day it gets harder and harder to have hope for the future.

Even a lot of democrats won’t come down strong on guns. Let’s face it most countries that outlaw guns have little violence, yes some but nothing compared to our hourly violence.

Between Trumps crap and daily violence in some form, shootings, rape, bullying, etc we are worn down. I am starting to see now why so few people in Germany stood up to the insanity and violence.

We are like a country of battered women fearing the next blow.

8. That's actually kind of a good thing.

Mass shootings are attention-seeking behavior. Making the national news is giving the shooters exactly what they want, incentivizing other would-be shooters. It has been suggested that news media should ramp down coverage of these events and treat them like local stories rather than national news.

9. There are several links to stories when I clicked to expand Google headlines, as well as...

the U.S. section.

Also, why do people take posts like these at face value?

10. it did

11. There was one today, too?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Quite frankly,

not enough people were killed.

And yes, same old same old is actually an appropriate response.

I'm just waiting for someone to top the Las Vegas Massacre.

Somebody ought to infiltrate the NRP and put up posters showing what murder by gun actually looks like. And then maimed survivors of various mass shooting should show up and just present themselves. Maybe carry signs that say: This Is What Guns Do.

13. It was yesterday

an not enough young people died
