How many mass shootings took place this week

[malaise]

and how many were stopped just in time?

There was the supermarket massacre in Colorado, another one in Virginia Beach last night; a man was arrested at a hospital in Kentucky - he had guns and explosives and there were others.
This is madness.

3. 2020 had more mass shootings than 2019.

There was just almost no coverage of them, probably because of the Pandemic, and with schools closed there just weren't any at a school. I don't think.

Basically, there's at least one mass shooting every day of the week.

4. The murder rate here in Jamaica also went up last year

People are at home, unemployed and many are living in horrible cramped conditions.
Curfews and shutdowns means the seething anger explodes in the communities.

I am very worried about all the schoolchildren at home facing abuse from unemployed, angry young men.
