Last weekend, a 19-year old man shot into a crowd at a garlic festival in Gilroy, California. He killed three people, two of them children, and wounded 13 others before apparently shooting himself upon being confronted by police. His motives are still unknown.
Yesterday, another man opened fire in a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 20 and wounding 26 before surrendering to the police. The gunman allegedly posted a manifesto filled with white supremacist and anti-immigrant rhetoric hours before the shooting, which is now among the deadliest mass shootings in America. This being a white nationalist terrorist attack, right-wing media outlets and politicians had such predictable responses that I don't even need to bother linking them, you've heard it all before: Antifa, mental illness, etc.
Less than 24 hours later, another man in body armor opened fire in a district of bars and restaurants in Dayton, Ohio, killing 9 and injuring 27 before being killed by police. Updates on the incident are still forthcoming, but among the victims were the gunman's 22-year old sister and her boyfriend.
I'm so, so fucking tired.
