Oh, great, now Germany wants to be Florida

[DFW]

A mass shooting at a youth center in Stade, a small town near Hamburg, has left at least five adults dead. The shooter is apparently in custody. No idea yet about identity or motive. The cops are begging the public NOT to go wild on social media with speculation about either. It’s a noble request, but social media being what it is, not likely to be honored.

I’m down in Spain for the day, so just heard of it.

Scheisse, the heat isn’t enough?

1. I do beleive it would be more likely honored in Germany than here in the US, but you'd know better.

4. I wish

They love their social media rumor mills here in EU land just like back home.

2. So very sorry to hear that. Nobody needs to be repeating our daily horror

Be safe and well, and as cool as is possible.

3. Sorta cool.

I flew two hours south this morning to Spain, and it’s hotter in Germany.

Nothing makes sense any more.

5. Nothing has for a very long time, it seems.

6. Why just Florida?

Last I checked this stuff was a nationwide epidemic.

The amount of high profile mass shootings in Colorado alone is rather disturbing.

It's hard to find a state that hasn't fallen victim to something of this nature over the past two decades.
