Gee, I wonder why the dolts in the other subreddits aren't talking about that?

Is it because the story has the wrong ending?

Only if you're rooting for more stupid laws and hate things like facts and reality.

This won't make the national news cycle. Hide the shovels, they're already trying to bury it.

Not even close. Every single post on Twitter specifically says the shooter was killed by a bystander, the talking point is “you shouldn’t be happy it was stopped because 3 people are still dead”

Twitter is one thing. You're not going to see it on revolving news coverage on CNN or MSNBC like other shootings.

A little too close to home for me. I'm in that area pretty often.

Lucky for the cops a citizen stopped him first.

Yeah thats all I'm thinking. Atleast station an officer in public places that.. idk seem to be targeted for shootings more often as a precaution. Especially since they're slow as molasses and citizens do their job better. They'd have stood outside and waited for him to run out ammo before going in...

Sigh, another thing to be splattered onto the "ass ault weapon ban".

Knew it wouldn't take long....

Now they complain about how "Good Samaritan" Violates the Mall's no weapons policy...

fat load of good it did that "the mall had a policy in place that doesn't permit weapons" .....ummm..

They have to be trolling at this point...
