Probably never. Liveleak though wouldn’t suprise me.

hopefully never. There’s a Reddit community for ... videos ... that make you appreciate how fragile life can be.

Ugh, I hope it gets taken down.
I have a friend whose extended family lost 8 people in that tragedy. I can’t even....

This partly inspired my rant the other day about gun violence in this country.
I was listening to a podcast today that was unrelated, but talked about risk and fear and personal feelings of security, as related to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. Here’s the point being made: the things you see in the news, those aren’t the things you need to worry about. They’re news specifically because they rarely happen. It’s the things you don’t hear in the nightly news that are the real threats to you, personally.
I worry that this kind of thing is becoming so commonplace that it ceases to be talked about. Not that national news outlets won’t pick up the stories, but I kid you not, I have heard not a peep about this from anyone I’ve talked to since it happened. It’s a huge deal; an absurd, senseless tragedy, and yet, it’s kind of
just another one
to most people. And THAT scares me.

How would there be video...? Unless surveillance camera(s)? Who takes their phone out to record stuff when there’s dozens of bullets flying?

That church recorded and youtubed their services. Camera was already going apparently.

The linked story explains it. The church would record their services and stream them later. A camera was running when the shooter was active.

There is daily carnage in the cities of America that never gets coverage because not enough people are killed all at once.

The daily carnage in America’s streets get no coverage because it’s not easily politicized. It’s the result of failures to employ, educate, and support people in poverty. No one talks about that because those issues are really challenging to address.
Mass shootings are heinous and random. Banning guns is the quick and obvious reaction, even if it is impractical. The media knows how to handle that much better than generational poverty and criminal recidivism.
