...but not when a disgruntled employee or gang-banger shoot four or more people?


Well first of all I've seen at least one disgruntled employee mass shooting described exactly as that. Feel free to show me the numerous ones that have not been, though.

As far as gangland shootings go, they tend to be over criminal elements and not just killing for the sake of killing. When innocent people do get caught in the crossfire, it's considered accidental or collateral damage. The intent of the killing has a hand in it being called a "mass shooting".

This isn't even getting into how it is atypical for more than 4 people to be killed in a gangland shooting to necessitate the mass shooting moniker anyways.

Is this a mass shooting or just a shooting? It could be a gang-related or escalation from an argument or a fight. We need more details.

Why is it only a "mass shooting" when a white foreveralone shoots four people?

Because they shoot a lot of people that is best described as mass

...but not when a disgruntled employee or gang-banger shoot four or more people?


I think a lot of people only consider it a mass shooting if it's a public place with double digit random victims vs. something more personal like a gang or workplace shooting.

They're all mass shootings though.

I will say that Walmart is next to the hood. Theres another Walmart on Siegen not far from there that's in a shopping center where a lot of people prefer to go specifically to not go to the Burbank one. For reasons like this. They just threw the mass shooter label on this prematurely because of recent events but honestly it's probably someone got into a dumb argument with someone then pulled a gun out and fired.

Source: I live in BR and tbh those kind of shootings arent exactly uncommon. We had another Walmart shooting in the city a couple months ago in fact

Someone is going to have to explain to me how Walmart hypothetically ending gun sales is somehow going to prevent some dickhole from walking into a Walmart with a gun or several.

Don't go to Walmart this week.


I actually was going to go to walmart this week and probably would have been shot, but I randomly had to get my router replaced on Saturday and some dude gave me an all day bus pass so I was like "fuck it, might as well go to walmart too since my fare is already paid." That good Samaritan probably saved my life.

Please stop this good guy with a gun nonsense. One of these shootings happened in Texas, where babies practically come out of the womb armed. The good guy with a gun myth has thoroughly been debunked.

The store was frequented by Mexican nationals who don't want to carry a gun in the US for various reasons, making it a softer target.

Four is apparently the threshold for "mass" shooting, depending on who you ask.

Probably that it wasn't someone going there to shoot a bunch of people, but an isolated case.

The Dayton shooter was killed by cops in 30 seconds and he still managed to shoot 14 people.

If he had only a semi-auto pistol with a magazine of let's say 8+1 then he would have shot 5 less assuming perfect accuracy.

Yeah, 4 not including the shooter is the accepted definition. It skyrockets if you make the threshold three. Also keep in mind that the definition of a mass shooting does not take into account the number of people who died. A mass murder would require four or more fatalities. Of the 250 or so mass shootings this year so far, about twenty have had four or more fatalities. Approximately half had no fatalities.
Again, not saying that to make it seem like less of an issue, just trying to make sure everyone is informed.

If you're gonna shoot a bunch of people, pick people who are unlikely to shoot back.
Bonus if you don't like those people, because you're a bigoted asshole as well a murderous asshole.

where did you see the label "mass shooter"? i've only seen "active shooter" mentioned, because that's exactly what it was -- some dude shot up a Walmart because he was upset.

Texas is an open carry state and El Paso still got lit up. So shut the fuck up


El Paso...major city. And you need a CCW permit to carry in Texas. So you can hush now...

Didn't one of the attacks involve the shitstain getting gunned down in less than a minute, but still took far too many with him.

Why would it be any different anywhere else. They could still kill before they are put down.

Not really.

A response came almost immediately and people still died. Explain what point could be had when there were people who could shoot back as soon as reasonably possible, but people still tragically died, by saying "but people have guns to shoot back"

Yeah but doesn't mean guns are to blame. It just means that the blame lies with whoever was supposed to make bullets that travel back in time so that shooters could be shot before they shoot.

Why is it only a "mass shooting" when a white foreveralone shoots four people?

Because gangbangers usually have the decency to only aim at each other, occasionally innocent people are hit but not on purpose. Intent is a big part of why I separate the two personally, I have slightly more respect for the gangbangers than some scumbug intentionally killing innocents.

That's basically what happened. Two guys started arguing and they pulled guns on each other and one of them started shooting and a bystander was hit but taken to the hospital and is stable.
