Happening used in a sentence

Happening in a sentence as a noun

This is straight out of the Stasi playbook and happening in the US in 2013.

When it happens slowly, as it does in these cases, it is hard to see the scale of what is happening.

While it's painful that this is happening now and not a year ago, I'm heartened that Hal is heading the internal investigation.

But even less high falutin' fields have similar languages--listening to sports fans talking about what's happening can be quite mystifying to me, given all of the shorthand they're using.
