I honestly give it a 50% chance that there’s some sort of mass casualty event in the next 12 hours related to this.

Given that there is more mass shootings in USA than days in a year, I think this ship has already sailed...

There's a difference between a mass casualty event and the technical definition of a mass shooting. One is easily met by gangs doing a drive by. The other requires multiple emergency rooms, triaging people, and calling up neighboring counties for more resources.

I'll leave you to figure out which one is a loaded political term and which one is the thing that gets 48 hours of close coverage on the news.

Seems like only in America "political terms" are loaded with actual bullets and regularly shoot bystanders in schools, nightclubs, malls and other public spaces.
