Saturday night in Indianapolis. 7 wounded, all between 12 and 17. The mall actually closes at 7pm, and the shootings took place as approx 11:30 pm. This is newsworthy because of the ages of the wounded. Other than that, it's just another day in America.

Do you know where your 12 year old is at that hour?

If only we had universal background checks and AR-15 bans, none of this would ever happen.

AFAIK, the race of the shooter and victims has not been given to the public, so I would make no assumptions at this point. And does it really matter? 12 years old?

Has anyone noticed how the media has categorized the normal violence of black urban youth as "mass shooting"?
This way they can hide the shootings in urban black areas as not to stigmatize. The BS never ends...

Terry told reporters that officers have noticed a pattern of young people leaving the mall after it closes at 7 p.m. and circulating in the nearby downtown area for hours. She said that if parents don't know where their 12-year-olds are at 11:30 p.m. before Easter, that should "be a priority."
Well, it's not. Give it another few years and shootings involving kids 14 years old and younger will be considered routine.

4 1/2 hours after the mall closed. So 12 year olds hanging out at a closed mall.

Mom, dad or their guardians f'd up bad, if they give a hoot.

What Dads? That is most of the problem right there. Young men need dads. Many don't have them.

Many have fallen victim to drug addiction when the CIA intentionally brought crack cocaine into the inner cities, or they have been incarcerated by unfair policing.
We should be blaming our government for breakdown of society.
