Multiple victims in Minneapolis Catholic school shooting and suspect reportedly dead
Suspect also dead, police confirm, and 14 of those hurt are children in shooting during mass in south Minneapolis
so just a normal Back to School season in the US of A
Getting downvoted for the truth.
How often do you hear of other countries with the same issue?

For me, it has nothing to do with country. But I am disgusted by your comment just the same. There is nothing "true" about it at all.
In case this isn't clear, and to illustrate just how lazy your cheap potshot is, I'd like to reframe it in terms of Gaza: the schoolchildren shot in Gaza as they run toward food, terrified to go but too hungry not to run into the shooting zone, is that too just business as usual for you?
For me, the killings of Gazans are equally as evil and unnecessary as any other murder -- and murder is exactly what that is -- thus I do not make low-effort cracks about them, or Ukrainians, or literally anyone who is murdered just trying to live their lives. That is my genuine position on the murder of innocents, so particularly lazy and disinterested cracks like yours stand out.
Pick one. Take a lazy potshot at THAT instead.
Hence my downvote, and I regret I have only one to give.
The shooter was trans, and some media + lots of online spaces are already spreading mental illness narratives. Wouldn't be surprised if this is going to get used against trans people in general, it's sad.
I didn't think that's confirmed. The shooter had long hair and was named "Robin," which is a very gender-neutral name. Do you have a source confirming they were trans?
From the article:
Local news, Kare 11, confirmed the shooter’s name was Robin Westman, 23. Westman grew up in Richfield, and Westman’s mother worked at Annunciation school in some capacity. Westman applied in Dakota county to change their birth name from Robert to Robin because they identified as a woman, according to court documents obtained by the Guardian. That request was granted in January 2020.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/minneapolis-catholic-school-shooting-rcna227591
"FBI Director Kash Patel said the shooter was “a male” born under a different first name.
The suspect's parent had filed for a legal name change to "Robin M Westman" in Dakota County in November 2019. The application was granted in January 2020, when Westman was 17, after a hearing."
Maybe if trans people weren't constantly treated like garbage they wouldn't lose their freakin minds and/or delete themselves.
Thoughts, prayers, non action, repeat.
People don't just wake up and randomly decide to go on a shooting spree. There's warning signs, planning and preparation. It's not hard to train agencies on this, do PSAs etc. This should also be included in the terrorism definition, or at least dealt with by terrorism departments or similar so there's a better standard of service.
That's good
So desensitized that I had to google school shooting to see if it was new or an old one. I really hate my country and the people that run this shit hole.
Edit:
There have been more than 140 shootings reported in elementary and secondary schools in 2025 thus far, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database.
God Fucking Damn! Pres. Little Dick, Kid Fucker, use that abuse power for good just once. Limit the amount of guns in this fucking country.
What kind of dystopia needs a database for school shooting!

Limiting guns is probably one of the very few things Trump could do that might end with his ouster. His supporters are typically rabidly pro-gun.
Trump supporters are likely to ban "lunatics" from owning guns. when conservative media reports on shootings, the focus is on the "lunatic" rather than the easy availability of AR-15s.
the problem is who MAGA frames as "lunatics": leftists in general, trans people specifically. every time there's a mass shooting, rumors spread that the shooter was trans. usually it's a lie, but this time it's evidently true.
I think they're manufacturing consent for mental illness background checks, so they can list gender dysphoria as a mental illness and disarm us.
Might help his supporters since they love using guns on themselves.
August 27 is the 239th day of the year, so there's been a school shooting every 1.7 days this year so far.
Not really though. The media has a really loose definition of "school shooting" so they can keep people scared.
To use a local example, two parents got in an argument outside a school, one pulled a gun and shot the other. A shooting at a school is not necessarily how people think of a "school shooting".
Always check the details before you believe the hype. The actual number is 8, which is 8 too many, but a far cry from 140.

Even some of those aren't actually "school shootings" as the average person thinks of them:
3/4 in Baltimore, MD: "A 16-year-old student was shot and killed after being chased onto school property."
Nobody went to that school intending to kill students. They were intent on murdering one kid who happened to run on to school grounds.
https://www.wbaltv.com/article/lansdowne-high-school-student-shot-vigil-kamau-campbell/64106551
"Baltimore County police said the teen was outside a shopping center across the street from the school when someone got out of a car and opened fire. Campbell then ran toward school grounds, where he eventually collapsed, and was shot multiple times more."
That's a targeted killing, not a school shooting.
How fucking sad is it that school shootings are washed out due to a pedo in the White house.
I just wish these loons would stop bringing KMFDM into this. They don't stand for any of this.
Those poor children and parents. These are all avoidable deaths and no doubt the families and the survivors and will again be harassed if they speak out about improving gun safety.
I'm ashamed to say it, but when a church gets shot up the only feeling I can conjure is schadenfreude.
Sorry, but I really really dislike American Christians. No, Catholics are not exempt from this blanket term — see the guy who got fired for going on Jubilee and proudly proclaiming he is both 'Catholic' and 'a fascist'.
You reap what you sow. As much as we like to tell ourselves they aren't, the sins of the father are passed on to the son.
The good news is that your opinion is very human. The bad news is that your opinion is very human.
Thinking you are the good one cause I dont feel bad when innocent children are killed cause some ppm that share the same belief also sabre other belief without hurting anybody. You reap what you sow and you aren't ready for what s coming
Desensitized.
Don't care anymore.
Human life is one of those things where it rings alarm bells in my mind when someone says they're desensitized to it.
What a shitty, heartless comment. I live in Minneapolis. Before today I might have read your comment and thought, "Well that's callous," but reading it today I feel angry. Keep that shit to yourself.
If that's true then the gun lobbyists have won
