Bang Bang Philadelphia

At least 14 people were shot, three of them killed, when shooters fired into a crowd on a popular stretch of South Street in Philadelphia late Saturday night.

But that's not all; according to Gun Violence Archive the United States of Guns has seen mass shootings—where at least four people are shot—on:

Sunday June 5: Grand Rapids MICH [1 dead, 3 injured]; Saginaw MICH [3 dead, 2 injured]; Chattanooga TN [2 dead, 12 injured]; Mesa AZ [2 dead, 2 injured].

Saturday June 4: Ecorse MICH [0 dead, 4 injured]; Hempstead NY [1 dead, 3 injured];  Summerton SC [1 dead, 7 injured]; Macon GA [1 dead, 3 injured]; El Paso TX [0 dead, 5 injured]; Phoenix AZ [1 dead, 8 injured].

Friday June 3: Chester VA [1 dead, 5 injured]; Omaha NE [1 dead, 3 injured].

Wednesday June 1: Tulsa OK [5 dead, 0 injured]

Tuesday May 31: Waco TX [0 dead, 4 injured]

Monday May 30: Charleston SC [0 dead, 10 injured]; Benton Harbor MICH [1 dead, 6 injured]; Philadelphia PA [2 dead, 2 injured].

Sunday May 29: Taft OK [1 dead, 7 injured]; Merced CA [1 dead, 3 injured]; Houston TX [0 dead, 4 injured]; Chicago IL [1 dead, 4 injured]; Phoenix AZ [1 dead, 5 injured]; Henderson NV [0 dead, 7 injured]; Chicago IL [0 dead, 5 injured].

Saturday May 28: Chattanooga TN [0 dead, 6 injured]; Fresno CA [1 dead, 3 injured]; Malabar FL [0 dead, 4 injured]; Colorado Springs CO [1 dead, 3 injured]; Memphis TN [0 dead, 4 injured].

Friday May 27: Anniston AL [0 dead, 6 injured]; Stanwood MICH [4 dead, 1 injured].

Wednesday May 25: Philadelphia PA [0 dead, 4 injured].

That’s 246 mass shootings this year; nearly one every single day, sometimes several each day, since Uvalde and still the Democrats are not demanding action and the Republicans still don’t see a problem..

You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming …

  1. I'm sorry, I just don't understand it - guns are not worth more than children except, apparently, in the eyes of the Repugnant party and the NRA.

  2. So is the time right for a third party since our present two are unable to take care of business for the people? It's also time to stop legalised payola...just some thoughts.

    1. I don't know if a third party would work, but I do know we have to stop this flood of blood money into our politician's coffers.

  7. This is exactly what the 2nd amendment have been praying for, a reason to buy more guns to protect themselves.

  8. A terrible toll. Behind the numbers there are people's names and life stories, hopes and dreams. None of the dead or injured were fetuses.

  9. I'm to the point where both parties can go kiss I'm fucking ass. There I said it. One party is just evil incarnate and the Dems a bunch of pussies, who need to railroad legislation through. Kudos to the NY governor for doing something swift. At least she's is trying for fuck sake.
