[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was at an upscale outlet mall by the way.[/quote]

Is the implication that we should only expect this to be normalized in poor areas?

On top of the tragedy itself, this is yet another affliction to the poorer working class who work in public-facing retail jobs. They must increasingly live in fear every day and second-guess their safety as they head to work. Meanwhile we WFH and have cushy high-security office buildings.[/quote]

I suspect the point is that this area was targeted to impact a certain community and demographic. The shooter didn’t live there.

3 kids were shot in DC in the last day, and it doesn’t make national news.

A shooting at a school or public space in an affluent community makes national/international news and the murderer lives in infamy forever.

Plus: the average Joe lives in fear of school and public space shootings but doesn’t really worry about the daily crime in inner city areas they never go near. [/quote]
