4 Dead, 5 Others Shot After Mass Shooting at Biker Bar in Southern California

Four people have died and six others were injured after a shooting at a biker bar in southern Orange County, California.

California State Sen. Dave Min, D-Irvine, said in a statement that he was "devastated" to learn of the shooting.

"Our district is one of the safest areas in the country, and yet we too are repeatedly afflicted with the scourge of mass shootings," he said.

Safest areas in the country? To the best of my knowledge, there are no safe areas from gun violence in the USA.

Sadly this was another case of domestic violence turning into a mass shooting. CBS reported that a man was searching for his ex wife in a domestic dispute. Misogynistic control and guns and men will continue to have an effect on all of us as a society. If men especially liberals and women here don't start being vocal about misogyny and violence we will continue to be a very regressive country. We need feminist activists and male allies and gun control activists to work on there messaging and do something about extremists whether its online or in person targeting women, minorities and etc. Its getting out of hand.

mass shootings. Animal abuse in young children is a high predictor of adult antisocial behavior.

You'd thing we could put two and two together, right?
