Shooters

[RE]

This was a long running thread on the original Diner, tracking all the mass shootings as an indicator of increasing social breakdown.  We also used to have a dedicated board for Doom Psychology topics, which we don't have here as of yet, so I'm dropping this thread here under the General category.  If however more psych related topics come up, I'll make a new board and move them all there.

Meanwhile, although based on the definition this is apparently a record setting year for mass shootings, it's been a while since we had a really big public one.  For a while, it seemed like we were getting a school or bar shoot-em-up every other week or so.  Feels like the calm before the storm.
