Popular Post Kismit Posted November 5, 2017 Popular Post #6 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Not sure if my news source is correct as it is still very fresh news, but it sounds like this is a very small town, population of 400, with 50 people dead or injured, that is 1/8 of the town. These people all know each other, this is a truly catastrophic event for such a small town. If these statistics are correct there will be several families planning mass funerals. And grieving very close friends. Edit to add: population of the town was just over 600 as of last year. Incredibly heart breaking. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rashore Posted November 5, 2017 Popular Post #7 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'm not quite sure which is more horrifying.. the event itself, or the fact that it can be safely titled another mass casualty event. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sees Posted November 5, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) So, it would seem that multiple shootings are getting more frequent but is there a pattern here re. motives etc? I would be interested to try and understand why it is occurring more often. I found this - which might give some insight... http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/27/health/u-s-most-mass-shootings/index.html Edited November 5, 2017 by sees 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lilly Posted November 5, 2017 Popular Post #12 Share Posted November 5, 2017 My opinion is that it's a change in culture generated by Hollywood's violent movies, violent video games, tolerance of violent gang activity and certain illegal drug use leading to violent behavior. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caspian Hare Posted November 5, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 5, 2017 The Malay have an old word called amok, it meant to be possessed by an evil spirit and suddenly engage in indiscriminate, inexplicable violence. So this has always been with us, yet frequency seems to be increasing. Overall US crime is down considering historic levels, but not these rampage crimes. I wonder if the conditions of modern living are somehow driving people mad. Our ancient ancestors did not hunch over steering wheels and computers all day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a small town down in Texas really have that culture- especially around a church? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass culture is everywhere in this age ... though to be honest I do not know how much pop culture can be blamed. Maybe just tip the people who are already unstable over the edge.There must be something more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted November 5, 2017 #17 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Just got home from shopping and saw this. At least 20 are dead including the pastor's 14 yr old daughter. Many more injured. There is no caring or feeling anymore. People are just brain dead. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/05/us/texas-church-shooting/index.html Edited November 5, 2017 by susieice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted November 5, 2017 #22 Share Posted November 5, 2017 FOX's sources are saying 27 are deceased. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/05/mass-shooting-reported-at-texas-sutherland-springs-church.html There are no words to say how I wish condolences on the families and the people of the town. He just opened fire on a church service that was being conducted. CNN said this church was known for recording it's services. Maybe it is on tape. CNN was interviewing a woman who owns a store across the street from the church and she said rumors are going around about the shooter but she didn't want to say anything and jeopardize the investigation. She said the person mentioned did not live in town but she knew family members of his. She may or may not be right in what she's heard. Important not to take this seriously until police give information at their press conference which will be soon. I just can't believe this has happened again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
