Can anyone provide any information about a mass casualty event where a baseball bat is the weapon?

12-15-19 people struck down with a baseball bat, caused by one perpetrator?

In an incredible display of utter tastelessness, Donald Trump Jr. insisted in a rage-fueled video on social media Saturday that the Uvalde mass shooter could have killed 19 children and two teachers with a “bat.”

and take down a subject armed only with a bat at rather high, compared to a gun-toting (even handgun-armed) individual. Numbers matter. Even a dozen lab puppies can trip an adult human when they excitedly swarm in a group. This is beyond ludicrous.

I think I've seen that in a TV show... so long as you can torture kill the captives one at a time.

Of course you would need guards armed with swords and a crossbow (the medieval version of an assault rifle) to assure that the captives don't all rush you at once and overwhelm you and beat you to death with the bucket.



junior is a moron, like his father before him

Which happened 5 years later. No bats involved in that one, though.

It's also a product of a certain cokehead's fevered imagination.
