This wasn't a mass shooting, it was a white supremacist targeting minorities solely due to their skin colour. Unbelievable that you hate America enough to try to paint this as a mass shooting.

You should be ashamed of yourself for exaggerating the victim count by a whole two people. Obviously the two additional victims that went to hospital don't count, because he just drove into them instead of shooting them.

Zeus is predictably more outraged about these topics than he is about the ongoing murder of innocent americans and children with firearms

You should be ashamed of yourself for exaggerating the victim count by a whole two people. ...he literally doubled the number of people who were shot. So while you can sit there and say, "Oh, it's just exaggerated by two victims!," he could have exaggerated by four victims to go from an incident without a shooting to make it a mass shooting. adjl posted... Obviously the two additional victims that went to hospital don't count, because he just drove into them instead of shooting them. ...did he shoot them with his car? By that logic, you might as well as call Craig Martin Voss, who drove his car into a homeless camp while drunk, a mass shooter. That's not even getting into the fact that the FBI definition requires 4 fatalities, not just injuries. Not that things like facts matter to Pionear who just wanted an excuse to glibly mock another tragedy with his series of "Another Day, Another Mass Shooting." And now I'm starting to wonder how many more of those "days" weren't mass shootings. Perhaps one or two of those didn't even have anybody shot. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ... Copied to Clipboard!

All of this is just you doubling down on showing everybody that you care more about the technicalities of the term "mass shooting" than the fact that some jackass decided to murder a couple of black people in what was apparently a straight-up hate crime. That's really not a good look for you. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's really not a good look for you. All of this is just you doubling down on fucking stupidity. If somebody shot two people, that's already a crime. There's literally no reason in the world to try to pretend that it's something that it's not and say "OH! TECHNICALITIES!" when we literally have those definitions with those meanings to differentiate crimes. What do you get out of this by pretending that it's a mass shooting when it isn't by any objective standard? Are you just tossing your blanket support behind pionear because you also have a problem with the facts? Or is this an extension of some personal grudge? What's next? Are you going to start people who only killed one person a serial killer? Are people who killed nobody at all going to be referred to as mass murderers? --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

Simple: I know it's not, and I don't care because that's an arbitrary technicality that changes nothing about how terrible the story is or whether or not it's worth making a topic on, so I ignore it and scratch my head at people that insist on making a big, pedantic deal out of it. It's fun. Maybe you should try it some time. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You'd think he'd have figured out by now that the "use my own wording against me to seem really clever" thing never works and always just comes across as awkward and contrived.

Which comes back to the previous point: If the story is already terrible, why would you try to change details? Because "Mass casualty event that includes multiple shooting victims" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, and the distinction is so insignificant here that having a catchy title that fits the established pattern is more important. Zeus posted... Because facts trump feelings and words have meanings. And why does that matter here? Specifically, why does it matter to enough of an extent that you feel it's necessary to correct it? Zeus posted... Except now and every single time I've done it. I cannot remember even a single time that it's worked. You are at your absolute best in that regard when I don't immediately think "ugh, it's like a 10-year-old that thinks he's smart is trying to insult with what he believes is a totally awesome comeback" upon reading it, and even that doesn't happen very often. It does not come off as a brilliant intellectual riposte. It comes across as trying way too hard to show off some manner of intellectual badassery, whicht inevitably invokes nothing beyond second-hand embarrassment. Zeus posted... Not for nothing, but your cheering section is Metalsonic66. I don't really need a cheering section. I'm quite capable of being right regardless of how much external validation people want to provide. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ...
