Looks like two separate scenes

Wow. Another angry, old, Asian dude.

Two postings and no one showed compassion for the loss of life, those injured, and the families that will be impacted forever.

As Men is normal to not have as much empathy or emotions for someone/something you are not in any way connected to. Distant events = distant feelings, also the ages of the people involved likely dampen the impact of all of this. I for one expect violence at large gatherings, parties, and holidays, of course not all do. It is sad the way those people died. If you were personally affected by any of those murders, my condolences.

Well I do feel compassion for those lives lost................. but unfortunately the Dems/Socialists politicize every single event like this to push their agenda.
So it's hard for me to express that emotion, knowing that the Socialists will use those souls as pawns.............

Folks, I could be wrong, but I think the post was in semi-jest and a direct reference to this post in the other, recent, CA shooting in the news:

31 postings and maybe ONE showed compassion for the loss of life, those injured, and the families that will be impacted forever.

I am 100% for gun rights but I this shows how 'common place' this crap has become. We jump to the defend gun ownership, find blame for the perp (as we should), but ignore the victims.

I think that sucks. Just my 2 cents worth.

Why is everyone so sensitive? Since someone asked how I feel about it (otherwise I wouldn't share)... There are ~8000 deaths per day in the US. If I do not personally know the deceased or someone that was personally affected by their deaths, I do not have the bandwidth to think much about it. As a gun owner, I accept zero blame or responsibility for their deaths. Your mileage may vary.

Correct.

There are so many tragedies that occur to people everyday in a country with a population nearing 400 million, and a world with over 8 billion, that there it not enough time to mourn every one. And if you tried you would likely be paralyzed with grief, unable to function.

And which one would you chose to mourn? The third person shot in the L.A. dance hall? The brown haired girl that was stabbed to death in Idaho? What about one of the babies in Africa that succumbed to malnutrition this morning?

When I see or hear someone expressing their outrage or horror at whatever dramatic event just occurred, I question their sincerity.

For instance, Hannah Gay Keao, Edgewater City Council member on the Boulder supermarket murders- "I cannot tell you how many times my husband and I have cried since because I?ve lost count. We?ve cried, together, alone, holding our daughter, watching the news, reading statements in our inboxes from our lawmakers."

Do I really think she has actually cried so many times she has lost count? No. If she indeed has, she is either so mentally unstable as to be unfit for office, or is really bad at math.

Or both.

People that chose to publicly express their grief are often looking to call attention to themselves. Whether it is virtue signalling or attempting to advance a cause, their motivations can be suspect.

It calls to mind the North Koreans that openly wail with unrelenting grief when they visit Kumsusan Memorial Palace where Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il lie perpetually in state.

Those that express the deepest lament are judged to be the most loyal citizens.

When Chuck Schumer jumps on Twitter to immediately denounce the L.A. murders as a hate crime and call for gun bans, he is seen as the most strident defender of democracy. At least in his mind and those that follow such dogma.

Please tell us HOW to feel about this.
Just because people don’t comment they way everyone expects does not mean they don’t feel for them at all. As the post above stated how are you supposed to feel when there are no faces or names and you don’t know any of them?
It does not mean anyone here is not as outraged as you or disgusted by this act.
It is just that guys like us have to bear the brunt of this because of some insane person.
I’m tired of being the bad guy because of someone else actions.
You can feel how you want and express yourself how you want. Don’t demand we all parrot your feelings the same way.

"Authorities are still trying to determine a connection between the two locations, which Corpus said were both farm nurseries."

Quote above from OP news link.

I was sure I heard a reporter mention it was a marijuana farm. It was on youtube.
