Sorry, i can't keep up. What shooting?
ayeseaturtles
How am I just now hearing about this??
bread1
That's why I don't go to Walmart, I don't even want to be seen alive there.
jimofoz
Only in America.
fryedman
LiterallyLordSatan
I mean, correct.
VisualRituals
Took the cops 4+ hours to track down a kid live streaming his every move. My city is trash, but yours is too probably.
THESHADOWOFJECT
I used to work at Walmart. I always said if anything happened to me to drag me outside. I did NOT want the last thing I saw was that place
ObliqueRay
What shooting? Oh, right, it's a day ending in Y.

The Onion did in 11 years ago https://youtu.be/repxFQXVsHc
WhatUpDog3000
That's solid journalism right there
digdoug78
It's not guns. Nope. Can't be easy access to killing tools result in more killing. Definitely not guns. I wonder what it could be tho?

whydoilikethis
He hates cans!
Gnorknik
Then a day or two later there were false reports (and resulting panic) of an active shooter at an IRS building in town. It’s all a mess.
ThorsCatOdin
never go into a Walmart! If you do, you endanger 1000's of local businesses, enrich a filthy rich exploitive family/system & they don't care
PennnnnyLane
You forget that there are thousands of smaller towns that ONLY have the option of a walmart.
DeepAnalPenetration
Because it drove the small businesses out of town
SecretSquirrel27
Is it true, that if you die in a Walmart, your soul stays trapped in it?
azimir
It's also cut up and sold for parts. It'll be advertised as a low price, but it'll actually be higher than most other stores too.
PlaidBastard
Expand that idea to 'I don't want to die in this factory-recalled shit-tier sci-fi dystopia from Wish.com.'
1lostcompass
the Onion News Network called it about 10 years ago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=repxFQXVsHc
breezybriv
I thought I heard shots at a cheese curd festival and my first thought was “Fuck imma be the fat girl who dies at a cheese curd festival.”

Sometimes laughter is what gets you though. That doesn't take away from the seriousness of the situation.
morninggloryshade777
I will never find idiocy laughable. Nope.
ShadyEsperanto
Joseph Heller approves this sentiment.
Soberyn
The funniest comedians have been through the darkest shit.

MisterD90
In that case Americans need to laugh alot
coothlesscthulhu
Laughing and finding humor in the thickest of shitty shit is my main coping mechanism. Alcoholism too, but laughter keeps me going.
al3xinw0nderland0000
Hey, you too? It's the potion that poisons the problems away!
coothlesscthulhu
Yep! Cut down quite a bit though. Not by choice mind you, had a wee bit of cancer a few years ago and was advised to dial it back.
WorkSnakes
Gallows Humor is a real powerful coping tool
Yellowdart49
Yeah, man. Can you imagine having to haunt a fucking Wal-Mart??
SirMisterDudeBroPhD
do we know anything about motive?
oilyanaldischarge
Psycho black guy wants to kill whites. With video tape if I'm not wrong.
SirMisterDudeBroPhD
thank you for explaining...
SirMisterDudeBroPhD

Is this a recent event or previous? I just can't keep track
haggerton
Does it even matter at this point? If it was recent, there's a previous one. If it was a previous one, there's a recent one.
SecondSince
There are days when they have multiple. Keeping count is pointless as a random person.

could be next week, heck, probably will be again

Wednesday.
ODSTsRule
Really? I listened to radio all fucking day and it didnt even get mentioned in my area in germany.
Tr1gg3rH4ppy
Shit thats gotta be at least 30 mass shootings ago in America.
3KnucklesDeep
Anything except the metric system
Gestalt7
Shit! Thank you! I was struggling to remember which shooting this was. A goddamn American problem if ever there was one, I'm afraid.
VaultGirl69
Getting out. I was trained by a former soldier on gun safety and usage. I've been shooting. Have no desire to see one ever again. Fuck.
VodkaReindeer
It didn't even make the news here.
morrowpolo
Haven't heard on bit of news. Also I don't watch news networks I get news from here. Took until this moment.
toolzgalore2
I mean... that's fair

To be fair...

It's so easy to keep from dying in Walmart*. Just don't shop there.
MrSmilingDeath
Idk how true it is for Memphis, but my shopping options where I live in TN are a few dollar stores that w/poor selections or an hour long...
MrSmilingDeath
...either direction to a Walmart. TN has a lot of places where Walmart is, unfortunately, the only real option.
MrSmilingDeath
*hour long drive
OhNoDontTouch
yup, lots of places like that. they gave in to the temptations of Walmart and now it's all they have left. for some places it's not too late
IrateWolfe
The worst part is that this didn't even make the news up here in Canada, this is the first I'm hearing about it. That's how bad it is now
aflarge
Right doesn't want it to get big because guns, Left doesn't want it to get big because the shooter was black, so it'll be forgotten in days.
DrDadJokes
our news was busy covering Queen's death, I guess this was deemed as more tragic condering that no one gives a fuck about QEII here
JesaraB
Can't report on every US shooting or you won't have room for anything else
hardcoredore5
Seriously? This was National News here. They shut Memphis down with a Shelter in Place Order, for like 18 hours.
ImAGrower
Wasn't big news in Vermont. I just heard this morning 2nd hand from someone looking on the internet...
Padawin
Virginia, first I'm hearing of it
Andrzhel
German here, first time here of it.
ilhares
I'm in MN. Hadn't heard a peep until I saw this post.
nudes4jesus
first i heard of it in mass, but i don't really watch the news i just browse stuff sometimes.
samwyze
CA here. What with the Queen's death and the Dodger game being delayed for a hurricane, didn't get much out of state shooting news.
zorlonjones
I live here, that shit was horrible.
PalaverQuader
so what i hear you saying is "we need more guns"?
JestersWing
/s would have helped, but all your downvotes are from bootlickers and Republican spam bots. But you're right.
zorlonjones
Also solid Memphian reaction.
JK3600
We could figure that out, but how bad was the shooting?
reichstein
A quick google says 4 killed, 3 wounded.
LEEEEEEEEROYTurtle
It was 8 or 9 shootings. Asshole was driving around the city shooting random people.
reichstein
It's a real shame that there is absolutely nothing the USA could do to stop this kind of thing happening. /s
paigethemage
I'm a teacher in Memphis. I have kids who are scared, and who are now desensitized and it's just normal for them. I hate it here.
PalaverQuader
isnt it cool when wearing a mask is "freakish" but Kevlar plates for kids backpacks are a " sparkling business opportunity" ?
MrRandom314159
It ain't just there though.
ConstitutionalPatriot
Also a Memphian, I also work in security, that was a bad night for everyone. The whole city was pretty much on lockdown.
Yamusa
You live in walmart?
SleeperXib
Sage042000
Pretty sure you can just setup a small tent behind the little counter where they make keys and no one would bother you. I've been going to
Sage042000
/2 my current walmart for 15 years and I've never once seen anyone behind there making keys, or anyone waiting to have one made.
ShamalamaDingDing
wadatahmydamie
Yeah. Where the Heat Is.
DiabloGrandeArts
Also live in Memphis. Fucking awful and terrible situation, man. One of the victims was the ex wife of a friend
hardcoredore5
That's terrible. Did they have children?
DiabloGrandeArts
They did. Two girls, one boy. Oldest is 18, I think. My friend passed two years ago, too.
