Oh don't worry, they will manage to spin it in some direction where she was driven to it because of a man.

Is it me or is this getting barely any media coverage?

Detroit police: 7 injured in riverfront shooting

Gunman, six others dead at Wisconsin Sikh temple

Notice the difference?

Being CNN I'm surprised they aren't trying to imply that she was actually a very convincing transvestite.

No name on the shooter?

Can you please cite the article to which you're referring?

A man must have driven her to it right cnn?

These are all isolated incidents. The other incident didn't "prove" the "maleness" of mass shootings and this doesn't disprove it.

If male shootings are associated with "maleness" it probably has more to do with societal pressures than biology.

Sadly, this is going to become more common. When the culturally inherited idea that "women don't do such things" goes, more women start to actually imagine themselves doing such things. It's not as if great upper-body strength is required to kill someone with a firearm, and it's not as if women are inferior to men in the vindictiveness department.

But yeah, it is very rare for women to go on rampage killings/shootings/etc.

... and fails to kill anyone. Best leave the mass shootings to us men.

I don't get it. what should i be looking out for?

the title?

You gotta love the logic around here sometimes...

The overwhelmingly vast majority of mass shootings are committed by men
One mass shooting happens which is committed by a woman
Therefore, mass shootings are no longer a predominently male occurrence
