Breaking news on today's isolated incident!

We're at the scene now of today's isolated incident. It seems some crazy person with a gun has just shot and killed a bunch of people. We asked Somebody whether this is anything like yesterday's isolated incident

Somebody: No, as far as anyone knows, today's isolated incident is just another isolated incident, completely unlike yesterday's isolated incident, except that some crazy person with a gun has just shot and killed a bunch of people

That was Somebody's insight on today's isolated incident. It seems people are asking what we can do about these isolated incidents, so we asked somebody else

Somebody Else: The problem with these isolated incidents is that they're isolated incidents. And that's why Americans need more guns

That was Somebody Else explaining why putting more guns in the hands of more crazy people will reduce the number of isolated incidents. Again we're at the scene now of today's isolated incident, where some crazy person with a gun has just shot and killed a bunch of people. I hear we have some footage of A Neighbor.

A Neighbor: I always thought he was fine as long as you didn't talk to him. If you said something like, y'know, "Good morning!" -- well, then, he might shoot out your porch light or set your car on fire, but otherwise we always got along OK

That was A Neighbor of the alleged shooter in today's isolated incident.

And finally, a political advertisement for any Republican candidate for President.

"We're back. . .on our panel of experts are a former Republican Congressman, a member of the Heritage Foundation and a senior member of our sponsor, the NRA."

Only white shooters are crazy lone wolf types. If black then the entire black culture is to blame. If Muslim, then the entire religion is to blame.
