    Maybe my brain is just really fucked up, but 60 seems really really low…

    Feels like you could walk into any overly crowded place like a concert, or a sports game and beat that number in about 20 seconds with the right gun.

    I would have expected the number to be in the hundreds, or even thousands. I thought it was going to be Timmothy McVeigh. Assuming we’re disqualifying the 9/11 terrorists due to being not a singular person.

      I’d count OKC bombing & 9/11 as mass casualty events. Same as how opening fire in a public place is a mass shooting.

      This piece of trash killed 60 women (iirc), mostly by asphyxiation, over decades. He would torture them by strangling them to near-death then let them breathe & do it again, not to mention the sexual assault.

      Serial killers are ones who do it over a period of time in different locations. Mass murders do it all at once. The 9/11 hijackers weren’t serial killers.
