4 Killed in Mississippi homecoming celebration.
“It’s just senseless gun violence. What we are experiencing now is just a proliferation of guns just being in circulation.”
- Mississippi State Senator Derrick Simmons.
Guess what party he's affiliated with. Go on.
I'm calling this blood dancing because I notice a lack of quotes from law enforcement in the article. It's nearly all Senator Simmons grandstanding.
However, I notice that my knee-jerk reaction is to speculate that it's people from a certain subculture who ended up in the same place because of the homecoming celebrations.
Sub-groups of this subculture often have significant friction with each other and that, too often, results in violence.
I am saddened that this is my initial response because it's far too often the rational response to reports of violence where no political motive is apparent.
I eagerly hope to be proven wrong. (Unlike a lot of others).
