12. Your interlocutor should consult an orthopedist-that violent knee-jerking might tear an ACL...

20. Over a stabbing?

Um...okay.

7. Which has what to do with this?

8. Slow down that knee - the victims were stabbed. nt

4. Neighbors describe it as a tight-leashed homeschool family.

Abuse? Untreated mental illness? Stabbings are visceral.

[sarisataka]

5. Terrible

[Throd]

9. The most important thing is that we bend this to our favorite narratives before all the facts are in

and the bodies are still warm.

That since this does not fit "The Narrative" it is ho-hum, just five people murdered.

Now if it was an idiot shooting a dog- that would generate some attention.

15. Yep. Surprised to even see it in LBN. nt

[Brickbat]

14. Yep.

11. Because it doesn't involve guns, it'll be off the DU radar by Saturday morning

Only mass murders committed with a gun seem to matter to some here

[tabasco]

17. Perhaps mass murders with guns are much more common than with knives?

18. Nice attempt at deflection and missing the point

The Chattanooga, TN and the Charleston, SC shootings both had multiple threads, in multiple forums that remained active for over a week.

This tragedy, committed with a knife or knives, has all of 2 threads with less then 20 posts between them.

So where is the outrage for the 5 people murdered with the a knife? Or does that outrage only occur when a gun is involved?

[tabasco]

24. Woooooooosh!!! LOLOL

Talk about missing the point.

Perhaps people discuss multiple gun deaths to a greater degree

BECAUSE THEY ARE A MUCH GREATER PROBLEM.

19. Mass murders aren't common with any weapon, really.

I get the outrage when one occurs. There's something uniquely horrifying about a multiple killing.

But the fact remains that mass murders represent a tiny, tiny fraction of all murders. Common, one-at-a-time murders are where our horrific, humiliating death toll comes from...and they get a fraction of the media attention, a fraction of the "mindshare." This strikes me as ridiculous, at least when it comes to formulating policy to reduce the number of murders in this country.

23. Mass shootings (4 or more victms) are increasing

Gun killings of two or three have become so common they don't always make the headlines.

33,000 gun deaths per year in U.S. ---- Gun deaths set to surpass automobile deaths

13. This is very sad, and I too ask the same question. Why?

[Dont call me Shirley]

16. The five...

The 2 children

The teen boys why did it have to get to this point?
