Another day in America brought another mass shooting. This time it was in the town of Taft, Oklahoma, where at least one is dead and seven others are injured.

I have no words.

1. Holy shit, not again!

Can we go ONE DAY without some asshole shooting up something?

[niyad]

13. This is the SEVENTH mass shooting since Uvalde. So far.

2. How close to Tulsa is Taft

?

[DURHAM D]

3. It is close to Muskogee.

Taft is an all black town.

8. 72 percent African American

I wonder if this is another white supremacy shooter.

19. No, a 26 year old black male, Skylar Dewayne Bucker

21. Thanks. I know it's sad I thought it was the other possibility.

But the Repugs did that to themselves quite frankly.

[Celerity]

22. I was right there with you m8, my first guess (giving only the fact it was OK) was a nazi shooting

18. In Muskogee County, only population of 250 in 2010. Good grief.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. But, it's not a school so it doesn't count, right?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

11. It counts as The NRA sponsored ... Daily Mass Shooting...buy more Guns to stop the Guns!

The earth is flat, not round!

5. One never knows in the US when you are liable to be shot dead just because you exist!

It's a screwed up place, many career political people in it for power and profit. And corporate owned, USA, Inc.
Come visit the US and go home in a body bag. The land where people come last. Welcome to Idiocracy!

[SergeStorms]

6. Well of course it does!

Your event is nothing these days if you don't have an active shooter and at least 10 people shot!

I'm starting to think event planners are building these in to any event they're working on, just for the recognition.

10. wouldn't be a party if nobody got shot

[Frasier Balzov]

7. African American communities are particularly plagued with gun violence.

After centuries of disempowerment, blacks are increasingly reaching for guns as a means of free-will expression.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

12. Lol.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. Did someone leave a door unlocked?

[czarjak]

15. Left open. Wide open!

[paleotn]

14. Unbelievable.

[Cozmo]

16. Of course another mass shooting would occur. How can anyone be surprised by this?

[IronLionZion]

17. Memorial Day is to remember those who paid the ultimate price for freedom

Which these days includes those who died in mass shootings.

[calimary]

20. I heard one anchor (CNN's Jim Acosta?) asking if we'd need to start

observing a Memorial-Day-style day for mass shooting victims.

Hey, what’s stopping it? By a week from today, there’s bound to be more.
