I'm not complaining here, but isn't this like the second shooting in a row where the perps didn't kill anyone? The Discord Fedditors must be in a rush.

I'm glad the only death so far is one of the shooters.
Look everyone's struggling since the orange monster and his autistic techbro stole all our grift money from the slush fund, ok???? They're doing their best, it takes a lot of resources to get a retard hyped up on SSRIs and propaganda enough to actually go outside yet alone take shots at people. And they got TWO of them. It's a bloody miracle is what it is.
 
That doesn't make any sense since the definition of a casualty is a death, but I'll chalk it up to shitty AI updating the article in real time.
I mean, you're not wrong that I am retarded and could be wrong. I'm loathe to Google this shit and give MSM ad revenue for basically glorifying these shootings.
 
Definition of casualty has included injured/incapacitated for a long time
I stand corrected. That's still a really confusing way of reporting injuries, why not just phrase it "8 wounded, 1 shooter dead, 1 apprehended" instead?
 
Might be a good idea to start saving any content you will want to keep from YouTube. I have a feeling that if Google gets hit, most of the old videos, likely anything pre-2020, are going to start disappearing to save costs.

I know this is KF where archiving is everything, but still thought I should put out there.

They don't report that way to keep things quick and to minimize details, especially if say 4 people are dead, 1 is injured in a minor way and another is in critical condition. It's easier to just say "6 casualties so far." when info is still coming in than to report the specifics, especially if people who are injured can quickly become people who are dead. It also lets them add more later without issue. In a situation like 9/11 or a natural disaster the number of dead, injured and missing fluctuates so it's easier to just add to the number of casualties than to specify when you're trying to give people the most info possible.

Anything to imply the death and destruction is at a maximum level. People are less motivated to overturn the constitution when the only people dead are the assailants.
