Were enough people injured for it to be considered a mass shooting? I thought there was only one person who got shot.

Checking....

Yep, one person plus the shooter. I think it needs 4 injured to be considered a mass shooting for most definitions.

But they are douches anyway, they'd smile like that after any shooting that doesn't directly hurt them.

Yeah not a mass shooting, may not have been an assassination attempt either until a confession comes from the shooter. He may have been pissed at the media and didn't know Trump would be there.

Shooters are always so well organised. Or are most assassination attempts thwarted by not completing the correct paperwork?

  • Guy gets hired or in secret service sting (commonly known as entrapment and is very common these days)

  • Handlers instruct him to write manifesto

The rest is pretty obvious

Thank you for taking a moment out of your day to fight for the actual meaning of words. I am completely serious here.

Yup, I misread. The 2 injured were the one person shot, and the shooter was injured but not by getting shot. So two injuries but only one shooting victim.

The person who was shot probably had some non-zero mass.

I think Leavitt is picturing all the propaganda she can spin out of this

Inconsequential. I'll bet that's how they react when they find out about every mass shooting

I know Trump is fat, but it still wouldn't count as a mass shooting!

I’m sure they’ve just got well-trained media faces. Let’s not go nuts with the conspiracies, this isn’t Xitter.

I'm sorry have you seen any of these people in the past year, in particular Hegseth? The idea that they have "well-trained media faces" is the biggest joke I've heard in 2026. They crumble under even the slightest pushback and have manbaby tantrums. Well-trained media faces, you must be having a laugh mate.

We're talking about people who openly commit multiple felonies on a daily basis. They're openly practicing mass bribery and insider trading. They routinely murder random civilians in the Caribbean. They've been openly flaunting the law on Congressional appropriations from day one. They are a criminal organization.

Faking an assassination is a minor item on their already extensive rap sheet. When they've already committed dozens of murders, what's a fake assassination at that point?

What did their faces look like when they were contending with a lone gunman?

especially MS karoline leavitt said there will be a shooting right before the actual shooting.

Rubio is like "well I guess we're not even pretending." You'd think the freaks were at prom.

There was one person injured, this was not a mass shooting by any definition.

Stop making shit up.

and when one is stopped by the secret service, then it ain't one.

That is kinda how that works, yes.

You reached the end

The faces of people just right after a mass shooting, hmmm | Spyke
