  A large percentage of those of us that live here don't understand the culture either. For the most part, it seems to revolve around money, masculinity and the perception of freedom.
context: Sadly (hopefully?) , that’s below the average for 2022. 
  But January is cold and summer is when the numbers add up. >
  
  I was just thinking this today as I drove by the spot two high school kids were shot by a third kid a few days ago. It’s not even summer. >
  
  Unfortunately, 2 kids getting shot isn't a "mass shooting" in today's standard so it won't even count towards the statistics. >
  
  This is a horribly sobering comment. Gun violence is so rampant in our country that we have ways to categorize the deaths for the sake of statistics. >
  
  I live a 2 miles from here. That are of town is sketchy at night, and it is bordered by some great areas to live. Pretty standard news in Baton Rouge though >
  
  That looks like the type of place where you’d go to get yourself murdered. >
  
  That's how I feel about the whole state >
  
  2 mass shootings on one night? A new world record >
  
  It's Gunday in America ... these things happen. >
  
  Everyday is gun day in America >
  
  It's five o'glock somewhere! >
  
  Almost 19:11 here. >
  
  Fewest deaths occur around 02:27 >
  
  Wth? People gotta relax. There's no need for all this bloodshed.
  I hope anybody out there thinking about making a new headline like this takes a few moments to have a snack and a nap before they decide if that's really how they want to be. >
  
  Not  lot of thinking going on prior to these incidents. >
  
  I'm lost for words. I live too far away to have advice/opinions as I have no understanding of culture and laws but... By all the gods I know the name of, I hope this stops.
