If there is no information out there about Nashville, then how do you know anything? Your concern is not breadth of coverage. Your concern is that you can't find a way to use the Nashville information to distract and deflect from the concern about mass shootings in general and the use of military style weapons by the perpetrators.
I'm sorry your distraction doesn't fly in this context. Perhaps you should try to stay within the bounds of the discussion.
Actually, the crimes are profoundly different even it the results may be the same. The violent home invaders you describe operate with a discernable even if despicable motive. They're violent thieves. It's the same with your carjackers. Violent felons trying to steal and exercising their more brutal inclinations.
The Walmart killer, the guy(s) in Florida, the church and synagogue shooters, the guy who shot up Sandy Hook and the bloody child murderer of Uvalde represent violence and capability and motive that are alarming in their execution. None of these men had motives related to gain for themselves. There is no way to predict where such men will strike.
In your home, you can take measures to secure yourselves: locked doors, alarm systems, security services, and the bedside pistol. In your car, you can be careful about how you stop in traffic: leave room between you and the car in front to drive off if need be. Avoid areas that have experienced car jacking. Maybe have mace or a pistol in the car. In short, there is enough predictability in the possible crime to give you some chance of preventing or eluding the perpetrators.
Shopping in a Walmart, teaching elementary school kids, or going to a social gathering in a synagogue are not events likely to attract violent criminals. The woman in her car (handicapped spot, I noticed) in Jacksonville has no real defense against a series of military rounds smashing through the windshield of her car. Why would anyone do that? Same for the other mass shoootings named in this horrifying thread. This is the reason they're so WTF?
Compared to other violent crime, the motive is either indescernable or founded simply in hate. The AR-15 magnifies the damage that can be done.
Like my first answer above, this is irrelevant to the topic. Addressing the topic of those crimes is not essential to the topic of America's gun culture and the resulting mass shootings. You mention fear. If a wolf is running me down, should my fear or focus be diminished because somewhere else a guy is being run down by a tiger?
I missed all of your concerned off-topic posts about dog-poisoning or human trafficking. I guess you are a hypocrite. Either that, or the form of "argument" you think you are employing here is fallacious. I'll let the people decide.
The intentions of someone concerned about cleaning the water supply in one village is not diminished nor made into hypocrisy because the person isn't taking action for all villages in the world.
This is a symptom of what the hate engine and Rush Limbaugh and his ilk have done to discourse. You believe that criticizing the scope of someone's concern proves the person's hypocrisy thus allowing you to dismiss all else associated with that person and issue. This substitute for reasoning is maybe the most pervasive and cancerous of the right's attempt to destroy the republic.
I've seen this idiotic tactic used many times over the decades. A GOP who wouldn't offer a street person a sandwich he found on the ground turns the magnificent engine of his intellect on the DEM. "So you're all about loving humanity, but you didn't raise a finger to help the people starving in the Sahara! I think I'll go and be smug now as I do absolutely nothing for anybody anywhere."
It's hard to determine if this practice is more despicable or cretinous.
Because of the things I wrote above, this post is what reasonable people are left with. You make yourself the stone on which the toe is stubbed. Implacable deliverer of pain.
Ditto
Many people responding to you had voted GOP most of their lives. There are recent defections from the GOP as well. Good people have trouble sustaining lies. Good people eventually recognize when all the dogma about policy is just a sugar coating on a poison pill. They admirably make that step away from something that had been a big part of their identity.
They don't embrace Dem policies; they just have no home where their political philosophies hold sway.
I've been persuaded to change my mind about different things here. There is no argument strong enough that I would consider voting GOP. I can imagine arguments and political developments that would sway my voting tendency from the Dems as a party despite the presence there of many excellent leaders and persons who truly care about the republic.
