I went to a Catholic grade school (1-8) in the Midwest, and we were marched into church first thing every morning. In Minneapolis, a sadist shot up the school kids in church.

So why are they calling this a "school shooting" instead of a "church shooting"? or a "school/church shooting"? Would it be too much of a disconnect for all the red-hatted holy-roller gun-nuts? #minneapolis #guns#churchShooting#schoolShooting

Those of us outside #America came to the conclusion that #Americans as a whole are quite happy with the frequency of #schoolshooting incidents quite some time ago. We don’t understand it, we are horrified, yet they barely register in the news cycle now. #sad doesn’t begin to describe this national psychosis the #US suffers from.
