The comunity decided to make it US centric and the moderators agreed. I posted a story about a mass shooting outside the US, several users flagged it as off topic, then Duketrout removed my post and moved it elsewere. When I asked about it Orenwolf supported it with:
“He wants to project his anger on to the world and described media attention from mass killing as the only way the world would take notice.”
I never removed it. I just moved it to a topic with a closer match, namely, the 2020 Uprising thread.
Your post was about a government’s violent reaction to protesters. It had nothing to do with international vs. US; it was about context.
My post was about a mass shooting perpetrated by a government and or it’s thugs. The US vs International was stated by Orenwolf, not me.
I am not griping, quite the opposite, I have been rather impressed with the overall moderation here. I was answering the question as to why someone might have created this post.
I dont know why the original topic became a US-only topic. I didn’t set it up for that purpose, and had personally posted international incidents.
(Not sure why it would not let me properly quote)
RIP Cyrille Morel 45, Remi Dupuis 37 and Arno Mavel 21.
Interesting their names carry no designation.

Wasn’t this thread only opened because a now-banned member felt that the other thread had a high US event count?
I don’t think they liked the exchange rate.
Mass stabbing. The perpetrator has said that he was inspired by the Joker.
