I know what you meant. The difference is that shootings in Thailand are often, rightly or wrongly, viewed as a provoked attack whereas the opposite is the often the case in the US mass shootings.

I know killing someone isn't the right thing to do.... But is there any criticism in the comments on the guys who just walk to a random guy and slap him in the face for no reason?
