Well look at the flip side. Would you call 4 people killed a minor shooting? Just "a shooting" typically makes sense for one person being shot, or just shot at. 4 is more than just an incident. And if we have to have a semantic argument over the issue, I'd much rather we err on the side of being a bigger deal it if only to keep reinforcing the point that there's a major fucking problem in this country. Not that it seems to be doing much anyway, but it definitely wouldn't help if we insist on referring to everything less than 10 murders as 'minor' or 'average'. --- \\[T]// Praise the Sun ...
