And to all you flamers - honestly, how many times does something have to happen at such ‘perfect’ timing before you smell a rat?

There have been plenty of small-scale "group" (rather than mass) shootings on school campuses, ranging from murder-suicides to 3-4 people wounded or killed. ALL of them are proclaimed to have "perfect timing."

The reality is that there are enough of these that they happen with some regularity, so that one will always be close to some date or issue relating to gun control that someone perceives as significant, through pure randomness.

And as I mentioned deviations from randomness creating unusually closely-spaced sequences of such events (mind you, even if they are completely random you will still get closely-spaced sequences of incidents) are easily explained through copycats.

Not happening is as significant as happening.

Like isn’t it just perfect that during a time when the libs DON’T want to talk about gun control, like during the last two presidential elections, nothing happens.

How does a ‘random’ event know an election is going on?
