but persistent grievance over some non-white "others", claims Christian faith, poorly groomed, functionally illiterate, estranged from family members.

How's that?

We only need to fill in who, where, how many dead & injured and of course who starts the thoughts and prayers.

Of course, once it happens, they never heard of him.

I'm making an assumption on gender, but the odds are in my favor.

Who spends time working on a college campus. I can usually take a joke but the thought of it all makes me tear up,shake and my stomach turn.

It's becoming one of my worst fears and living in Missouri I know it wouldn't be hard to pull off.

33. Her school had a young man

On grounds with a few weapons. He tweeted that it would be a day the town would always remember. A teacher forgot something in her car, saw him in the parking lot messing with a weapon and immediately went inside and called for a lockdown. The young man led police on a Chase until he stopped at a parking lot at the local university,where he committed suicide by cop. His original plan was to take out as many as possible.

The local university has had issues with weapons on campus.

Thanksgiving and getting relatives who normally hate each other together is a good bet for the next one. Then the pols will discuss mental health for a day and we'll await the next mass shooting.

That would have the greatest psychological effect on Thanksgiving gatherings.

Maybe an attack on mass transit?
