As we have said many, many, MANY times before, we are hardly experts on many of the things we write about, which means we know enough to be dangerous. Or in our case, sufficient to mock people and make snarky commentary.
And while we are certainly not experts in mass shootings or terrorism, what Amy Swearer shared here about the Brown shooting seems very important.
Almost as if this could give us an inkling not only into what the man yelled, but why he was there in the first place.
Again, we can neither confirm nor deny the motive or name of the gunman, but this seems important:
Amy Swearer (@AmySwearer) ~ Oh. The shooting occurred in the classroom of Professor Rachel Friedberg ... who is Jewish, part of the Program in Judaic Studies, and whose research focuses on the intersection of economics and Jewish Studies?
That seems like it might be incredibly relevant.
Steve Lookner (@lookner) ~ "Rachel Friedberg, a Brown economics professor, said the mass shooting happened in a review session for the final exam of her Principles of Economics course."

Add this to the Bondi Beach shooting, and gosh, it looks like a trend.
Amy Swearer (@AmySwearer) ~ Look, is it entirely possible that these things are unconnected and that when officials vaguely said the gunman "yelled things" during the shooting, they meant he yelled "I really hate this econ class because it's super hard?" Sure. Possible. But, increasingly unlikely.
Larry Sellers (@larry_sell38385) ~ Well, that might explain the news blackout just a bit.
Yeah, if this man had yelled, "THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY, WHOOO DAWGIE," we'd already know it. That we do not know for sure what he yelled says a lot.
CYNDI (@CYNDI_TX_) ~ I think it now explains why the President of the University claimed last night “she didn’t know what the students were doing in that class”!
Yeah, she didn't want to say that the perpetrator is likely a mooslim goat-defiler or one of their white, self-loathing apologists.
This is true; she was less than helpful.
Norm Macdonald, RIP the Master (@dcblerg2015) ~ A muslim slaughtering innocent Jews and others? Must be a day ending in "Y."
