Just another Saturday in the land of the atomized and untethered.
An Alabaman had a sixteenth birthday that got real unfestive:
A shooting at a teenager’s birthday party in Dadeville, Alabama has left at least five people dead and more than a dozen injured, according to witnesses and local media. Only few details are currently available.
The shooting happened at around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio in Dadeville, a small city in Tallapoosa County, where a Sweet 16 birthday party was taking place.
And Louisville capped off a rough week with more of how it started:
Louisville Metro Police Department is investigating after six people were shot and two were killed in Chickasaw Park.
LMPD responded to the call around 9 p.m.
Police say that two people were dead on scene, and four victims were taken to UofL Hospital. One is reported to be in critical condition.
LMPD deputy chief Paul Humphrey says there were hundreds of people in the park, but there were no witnesses to the shooting.
There are no known suspects at this time, and LMPD homicide unit is handling the investigation.
And it seems that all anyone can think of as a response is to be one kind of gun-policy yay-hoo or the other: disrupting state legislatures in session to insist on curtailing gun possession or gathering worshipfully to hear the Very Stable Genius blame mass shootings on transgenderism and cannabis.
If you got rid of all the guns, puberty blockers and gummies, post-Americans would find some other way to "make a statement" or distract themselves from the transformation of their souls into barren wastelands.
Yes, I know that the vast majority of people in our country spent their Saturday completely free of mayhem or even the danger of it. But the increasing frequency of these incidents is going to continue to up the premium of such luxury,
