    The standards in America are fucking crazy. "Yeah bro my cousin was buying some weed, next thing you know 4 people shot dead, but that shouldn't count" lmao.

      lol the fact it's just a casual story about a drug shoot out with 4 dead with a direct connection to OP and OP doesn't think that's weird is confusing as fuck to me

        Right? I literally have never heard of anyone getting shot even if I count friends of friends of friends x10. And I spent half my adult life in connections with very dodgy circles.

        Their "just another normal shooting" story would make national news for weeks if it happened here.

          Got really sad this summer, relatives from the US visited and we went to the lake to do Stand up paddle. Upon seeing the life veste, I heard, looks like the vest we wear for school shooting drill, :/

      Yeah, It's so wild. Like, they are so delusional.

      Let's push back the classification of mass shooting to lower the number. Ok, so we need one shooter and at least 10 dead. If people are only injured it shouldn't count. And the victim can't be criminal or have a criminal background. If drug or alcohol, not a mass shooting.
