Re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]
The way I see it, cars are borderline essential to some of these shootings. I've noticed that a lot these guys show up with like 4-5 guns. Most of them are scrawny little ****ers who have never put in a day's work. How do they move 4-5 guns around? Well, they put them in one of those gym bags, but you can only carry them so far before you tired out.
Many of these shootings also happen in places that could be considered 'car-towns'. That's what I call places where there is a sizable percentage of the population that lives out in the country. Vermont has tons of them. They're anywhere between 20K and 200K people. So with that said, I definitely see a correlation between cars and these shootings. Inner cities have drive-bys and gang violence, smaller cities have shootings. Just look at the list of school shootings and such:

Most of them happen in places that don't even reach the 200K mark. Sure, you get the occasional shooting in places like Detroit, and NYC but they're vastly outnumbered by the places that one could call 'car towns'. It might just be that cities under 500K are everywhere, it may just be pure coinkidink, but I think that probably plays a far bigger role than mental illness or even drugs.
Didn't he manage to drive something like 200 miles before he was caught?
