RWDS: A Massacre in Texas and a Warning to Us All

Another horrific mass shooting in Texas over the weekend added to the grim tally of some 200 nationwide so far this year. As with other massacres, the shooter wielded an AR-15 and gunned down people in a public place, this time an outlet shopping mall in the town of Allen outside of Dallas.

The Status Kuo
@jaykuo I’ve been reading or listening to the Sean Duffy novels by Adrian McKinty, which are about a Northern Irish DI in the Royal Ulster Constabulary and set in the 1980’s during The Troubles. After finish the last novel, it made me start to wonder if the U.S. is at the start of its own version of The Troubles, as the author, who is from Northern Ireland and grew up there during that time, describes the terror of that time in great detail.
