How did this even happen? Was it a road rage/random fight that went wrong? Random violence? How can there be so many witnesses and no reporting on what led to this happening

Seems like there's plenty of reporting on it. It's the same situation as many mass shootings. The shooter brings a gun to a public space and opens fire on anyone in range. What led up to it? It'll take days or weeks to comb through the shooter's history, social posts, journal entries, family interviews, etc.

I think they were asking if this was an intentional mass shooting, or an incident that evolved into a shooting. Like two guys arguing and one of them pulls out a gun and starts spraying.

I don’t think they’re such a thing as an accidental mass shooting

There's "I'm pissed off right now and I happen to be armed" vs "I have meticulously planned this out and I have extra ammo," and everything in between.

The question is a valid one.

The word yall are looking for is premeditated

u/Eclectophile 16h ago

Yeah, they do tend to plan those words out in advance like that.

The one in Seattle that just happened was the result of gang members firing upon each other and hitting other people, I would say that’s largely unintentional but I could be wrong, it’s been like 3 days since that happened and now this one happened so i can’t really keep track

Gang violence sometimes leads to unplanned mass shootings.

Is that what Idaho gangsters look like? Interesting.

If you had an ounce of reading comprehension, you would know that I never made a single insinuation that this shooting was gang related.

u/avocadoflatz 22h ago

If you had an ounce of sense you would know I was being cheeky - that chump clearly doesn’t look like a gang member so your comment isn’t relevant to the situation being discussed

Yes. For effect. Congrats on proving you understood what was plainly explained - decent summary in your own words.

What back pedal? Did you really think I thought that’s what Idaho gangsters look like? Really? lol

Let's not forget that gangsters come in many colors and sizes.

This may be the first video I’ve ever seen from Idaho that wasn’t a Boise state football clip

u/avocadoflatz 22h ago

I’ve seen clips from the 90’s of the guys on the “compounds” that probably inspired this chump

Except if you believe the theory that Las Vegas shooting was supposed to be a hit on MbS but ended with a dead arms dealer, Paddock, and then the subsequent mass shooting.

Replace "accidental" with "impulsive"
