Were enough people injured for it to be considered a mass shooting? I thought there was only one person who got shot.

Checking....

Yep, one person plus the shooter. I think it needs 4 injured to be considered a mass shooting for most definitions.

But they are douches anyway, they'd smile like that after any shooting that doesn't directly hurt them.

[–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

Thank you for taking a moment out of your day to fight for the actual meaning of words. I am completely serious here.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah not a mass shooting, may not have been an assassination attempt either until a confession comes from the shooter. He may have been pissed at the media and didn't know Trump would be there.

[–] kuhli@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 days ago (4 children)

This is from his manifesto, 100% an assassination attempt

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 5 days ago

what an ODD THING to SAY, and very specific that doesnt include KRAZY eyes KASH.

Shooters are always so well organised. Or are most assassination attempts thwarted by not completing the correct paperwork?

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Least cowardly American

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago
  • Guy gets hired or in secret service sting (commonly known as entrapment and is very common these days)

  • Handlers instruct him to write manifesto

The rest is pretty obvious

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The shooter is in custody, I don't think they were shot. So just one person.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yup, I misread. The 2 injured were the one person shot, and the shooter was injured but not by getting shot. So two injuries but only one shooting victim.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And the dumbasses here think that's a mass shooting.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

The person who was shot probably had some non-zero mass.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 62 points 6 days ago

These sociopaths have no idea how to behave appropriately.

[–] mikenurre@lemmy.world 58 points 6 days ago

..and then they all shouted out in unison "We NEED that ballroom!"

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's a "Yes, the ruse worked" smile.

[–] stormeuh@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I think Leavitt is picturing all the propaganda she can spin out of this

[–] Butterphinger@lemmy.zip 27 points 6 days ago

"hehehe I'm paid to protect a pedophile lmao"

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Inconsequential. I'll bet that's how they react when they find out about every mass shooting

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

One person wounded is not a mass shooting, just to be clear.

I know Trump is fat, but it still wouldn't count as a mass shooting!

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 6 days ago

I mean, Trump is made of matter..

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I’m sure they’ve just got well-trained media faces. Let’s not go nuts with the conspiracies, this isn’t Xitter.

I'm sorry have you seen any of these people in the past year, in particular Hegseth? The idea that they have "well-trained media faces" is the biggest joke I've heard in 2026. They crumble under even the slightest pushback and have manbaby tantrums. Well-trained media faces, you must be having a laugh mate.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

We're talking about people who openly commit multiple felonies on a daily basis. They're openly practicing mass bribery and insider trading. They routinely murder random civilians in the Caribbean. They've been openly flaunting the law on Congressional appropriations from day one. They are a criminal organization.

Faking an assassination is a minor item on their already extensive rap sheet. When they've already committed dozens of murders, what's a fake assassination at that point?

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

What face was I making when a thing happened?

[–] Axle182@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm not American enough for this

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

That is a good thing.

[–] frightful5680@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Rubio is like "well I guess we're not even pretending." You'd think the freaks were at prom.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

marco rubio looks confused hes not sure if he should be smiling or frowning.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What did their faces look like when they were contending with a lone gunman?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

especially MS karoline leavitt said there will be a shooting right before the actual shooting.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

To be fair, it's always right after a mass shooting in that fascist shithole

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There was one person injured, this was not a mass shooting by any definition.

Stop making shit up.
