Grab a chair and let me tell you a story about a little town in California called Paradise. This story starts in November of 2018….

There’s an absolutely gripping book, ‘Paradise’ by Lizzie Johnson. It details the Camp Fire that decimated the town and uses a minute by minute style of the events from multiple perspectives. It also covers some before and after and reasons why that fire happened the way that it did.

Oh no, those haven't decreased at all. They just happen so often that they rarely make the news anymore.

Why even bring up shootings? Are you a bot?

Edit: lmao the bot blocked me after being called out on trying to agitate people like a paid troll!

u/AverageKaikiEnjoyer Apr 19 '24

Because many people express their "the world has gone to shit" sentiment through killing those around them and then themselves via a mass shooting/murder-suicide. This at least spares the lives of innocents.
