You can't complain about cnn calling it a school shooting everytime a firearm goes off on a campus and then try to add this to the their list

If no one is shot or the objective of discharging the firearm is not to shoot a person is it really a shooting?

I really don't understand your angle here. I really can't figure out if you are just that dumb or just an a-hole. At first I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm beginning to believe it's the former.

Wonder if that gun owner is over 21 -- I mean, Dick's won't sell it to you if you're under 21.

WTF is wrong with people???

They were saying this was one of those dumb incidents that will be labeled a school shooting.


It will be labeled as a school shooting that will probably be just a shooting that took place on a campus.

That 18 school shooting BS that was floating around a few weeks ago was pathetic. One of them was a man that committed suicide in an elementary school parking lot while school wasn't in session.

Didn't take long for one of you to take it there. Solid.



You're right, let's focus on the mass shootings that kill an insanely small percentage of people per year and completely ignore the actual problem.

Is is dishonest for CNN to call a one or two victim killing by an associate that happens on a school campus a school shooting? Knowing the connotation leads to images of Columbine and the like?

I'm guessing more people will agree with that than not, since it was the common opinion in the thread about that CNN school shooting list.

My angle is that this appears to be a shooting that happened to take place at a college. The term school shooting is meant to rile people up and think of it as more than it is.

You're angle keeps changing to argue with people.

No, my angle from the start was that this had nothing to do with school and mass shootings.

Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're just trying to argue. Don't think so highly of your opinions that no one could hold a different one.

If an individual is intellectually honest, hand guns and gang/inner city/poor violence dwarf school shootings.

You're arguing with everyone in this thread and that's what you do in every thread. I honestly don't even know what your opinion is on this because it keeps changing depending on who you are arguing with.

My opinion is it's dishonest of the media to call something like the LEO's gun going off a school shooting or calling a murder a school shooting in the context of how we all think of it in the mainstream way. While it is by definition a shooting at school it is not a school shooting in the way the media makes it out to be.
I think we agree on this, but I'm not sure because your posts are so incoherent and wishy washy that I'm not sure.
