Another day, another mass(ish) shooting in America. At YouTube’s hq in California this time. Fortunately (relatively) only 3 people were injured and it wasn’t at a school. This was on a different kind of ‘campus’. A Google campus.

But this shooter was different. This shooter was a woman. A gel. A female. Ya get the drift, I’m sure. The shooter was a ‘she’!

Yet in a world of equal opportunity, why shouldn’t it be? Its actually discriminatory to assume that all mass shooters are men. Or should be men. But really, if women do expect equal pay in the market-place, they need to compete on equal terms. Three people injured represents relatively low productivity for a ‘mass shooter’. I mean, 3 people shot is just a spilled beer on a Friday night in Tennessee. Its just a row over a parking space in Downtown Tallahassee.

Would you expect woman shooters to be neater? Clean up afterwards?

2 people were shot here on Monday night. Separate incidents but it made the headlines. In the States it probably wouldn’t even make the news. Done by a man or a woman.

But maybe there is change in the air. Because of the recent marches across America, the youth are protesting loudly and clearly about gun laws. And if for ‘youth’ you read ‘voters soon’ then at some point even the most retarded of NRA-funded Republicans must start to take note. As was noted on the marches, the right to bear (ridiculous, military-grade, automatic) weapons is more important than the right of children to be safe at school.

Some day… and then there’s just the small matter of the 320 million guns already in circulation out there.

More importantly, Liverpool play Man City tonight in the Champions League quarter final, first leg. And that is a mouth-watering prospect. The two most attacking teams in the country, the highest goal-scorers, the biggest… whatever. And whilst City might appear to have the slight advantage that they can often manage to defend at the same time, something slightly lacking in the Scousers (Scousers: Mo Saleh, Manio Sade, Roberto Firmino…), it promises to be wonderful.

Though I’m still drooling over Dele Alli’s first goal on Sunday. Even though Ronaldo scored with a wonderful bicycle kick last night. And I thought… nah, Dele’s better.

Happy Wednesday
