It's kinda wild that someone opened fire at a campaign rally, wounding a presidential candidate and killing one of his supporters, and then when the shooter turned out to be an alienated young white dude everyone was like, 'meh, that's just a normal day in America.'

@JoshuaHolland Stats: it was the 291st shoot-em-up since newyears day (shoot-em-up defined as 4 or more people experiencing unexpected abrupt lead poisoning); over fifteen hundred people have stumbled into one of these gunfests, and over 300 did not make it home. There have been 9 more since that one. It was, meh, a typical July afternoon in the US. Not sure why it should be considered different from all the others.
