In the first month of the year when weather is largely still shitty. It’s great you think it’s not a big deal though.

I mean it's just simple statistics.

you could say it's a big deal still, but the chance of it happening is also very low.

like a plane crashing is a big deal, but very unlikely to happen.

Don't see any here in Arkansas, so for me it's lower than California

There's a larger mass shooting happening in Eastern Europe at the moment.

There's 334,000,000 people and 43 mass shootings it's pretty low.

Oh wow! Why'd I never think of it that way. It doesn't make it better. You have hundreds of mass shootings a year, and even though it's "low" statistically speaking, it's massively high compared to 99.9% of countries. Unlike you I don't base it on statistics. I base it on comparison. As in which country do I have a lower chance of my niece, and nephew dying while going to school. America's at the bottom of that list mate.

A human way to look at it might be there are likely thousands of other human beings that loved and benefited from those fellow humans that were needlessly murdered already in the first month of the year. This impacts families and communities in ways I hope you never experience but can empathize and act on in a positive way.

This didn’t just impact a group of people that were murdered, but I guess you could approach this less as a human and more as a calculator.
