i have no idea whats likely anymore. do you realize there are cars on autopilot, champ? schools & churches get shot up all the time here. whos to say some maniac WOULDNT open fire on a crowded mickey d's or @ a baseball game or some crazy shit. you think thats more likely there...then here. i think atrocity there...is a harbinger of atrocity HERE. and the people impacted would be the same THERE (regular old joe schmo market woman trying to sell eggs) as they would be HERE (middle manager in a company car here)

you doubt a mass shooting could happen? cmon.

hell yeah that could happen here
