Not totally related, but there was a shooting at a local mall about an hour ago. Reports say two people are confirmed dead.
I was just about to mention this. And I'm already seeing the news jumping all over the fact that he used an AR-15.
Sad, really, because these days when I see a news report of some mass shooting and the guy used an AR for it, I get cynical towards the media jumping all over the rifle. Scare tactic to boost ratings. Because it just wasn't scary to harp all over the perp of the
Sikh temple shooting's 9mm pistol. Took me three days after it happened before I found out what kind of gun he used.
Yeah, sorry, I'm cynical about this. I'd rather see them spend less time telling us what he used and more time telling us why he did it.
