(31 posts)A massacre occurs and the next day they repost the boilerplate with a new city name and pic. Seeing all of them on the same page, many years after some were originally published, is brilliant.

(81,385 posts)UVALDE, TX In the hours following a violent rampage in Texas in which a lone attacker killed at least 21 individuals and injured several others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and theres nothing anyone can do to stop them, said Idaho resident Kathy Miller, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the worlds deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. Its a shame, but what can we do? There really wasnt anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if thats what they really wanted. At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to themselves and their situation as helpless.

Report: Uvalde Gunman Had Accomplices As Far As Washington, D.C.
UVALDE, TXUncovering shocking new details about the Robb Elementary School shooting, FBI agents told reporters Wednesday that alleged gunman Salvador Ramos had accomplices as far away as Washington, D.C. We have reason to believe this wasnt a lone wolf incident, but rather a coordinated attack carried out with the assistance of 535 individuals in the D.C. metropolitan area, said agency spokesperson Adriana Yaroma, who noted that the case was now being investigated as a federal crime, as the co-conspirators had crossed the borders of every U.S. state. This was a highly sophisticated operation backed by millions of dollars, and it appears to have been in the works for decades. We have evidence these men and women provided the shooter with cover as well as access to the very guns used to perpetrate the murders. If it werent for the cooperation of these incredibly sick individuals, the 21 victims would still be with us today. At press time, the accomplices had reportedly fled the country before they could be brought in for questioning.
