By definition - any shooting involves mass. The physics Proff knows this. We should find out what the specific mass' of the bullets is(Are?).

turtlespeed 212 #4 October 28, 2019 Something isn't very clear to me from the broadcast. 1) TAMU disclaims any involvement. 2) The incident was 15 miles from any campus How is this a Shooting at Texas University? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,089 #5 October 28, 2019 Still a mass shooting in Texas, but doesn’t appear to be college oriented. Not sure that counts as a win. I think the original report said it was a homecoming party, but that might not have been official. Someone got pissed off, killed the guy he wanted to, someone else, and sprayed bullets around to confuse the situation so he could get away. Or at least that’s my interpretation Wendy P.

The news story I read appeared to make it as a location statement. "near a Texas A&M campus in Greenville" - typical reporting to let readers/viewers know where something happens.

wmw999 2,089 #9 October 28, 2019 And if it was told to the reporters that it was a homecoming party, or that most of the guests were students, that’d be reportable. I live in a heavily college area; next town over, pretty much any party that gets out of hand is a UMass party. Wendy P. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That broadcast, and pretty much every other story out there, specifically says it was an off campus unofficial student party 15 or so miles from the campus. Which part of that information isn't correct? It seems like the only thing they got wrong is the title of the Youtube video clip, but that's a pretty weak basis to use this tragic event as an excuse to launch into an attack on the credibility of the media. Just for once try to have a bit of integrity and class, yeah? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So did God not like the two people who were killed, was God asleep and not watching his flock, or did God send the gunman to kill them? The preacher should be sacked as obviously prayer doesn’t work.
