    While I don’t support mass shootings in general, if someone is so far off the deep end that they’re going to throw their life away in an act of random violence, I at least hope they choose targets like Blackstone instead of a random elementary school. At least they’re smiting someone who deserves it, for once. The country would be a lot better off if we had several hundred corporate shootings and zero school shootings each year. No shooting period would be better. But if you’re going to go on a rampage, at least go after evil people first.

      Thanks for the extended info. I agree about the shootings. I never understood why lone gun"men" always chose schools and Walmart parking lots. If you are crazy and want to go down guns-blazing, why not aim for the real evils of this world, the ones causing so much pain for no other reason but greed, the oligarchs and their ilk?
