We don’t.

We have candy asses that collect false statistics pushing an agenda.

These people count a school bus in the motor pool having a window shot out with a pellet gun on midnight Saturday as a school shooting.

I thought the same thing but I heard Glenn Beck rattle off the math behind it. I believe he said you are 4.3 times more likely to get killed in a mass shooting in Sweden or Switzerland than here. Then he named some other ones.

This thread scares me as to how dumb people are even here.

You see the number and just accept it.

Be smarter.

Glen beck makes up lies to push an agenda, just like the liberals do. Don’t believe extremist sources.

There have been 10 significant US school/university shootings in the last 20 years.

Can we get some real analysis which excludes gangbangers and pellet guns, as well as buses caught in the crossfire?

Not saying that the above is not an issue, but the media is lumping whatever they can together to justify their position.

What is the one thing that is different about the U.S. from other 1st world countries?


It's actually many things. Ethnic diversity. The military-industrial complex. The prison-industrial complex. Fluoridated water. Gun rights. Evangelical Christianity. Chain restaurants. Automobile culture.

The USA is just different.

You want to compare frequency or magnitude?

Beslan school siege in Russia

Add up all the school shootings in the US over the past decade or so and I bet we don’t get close to the 300+ dead in one incident in Russia.

Didn’t some terrorists hold up a movie theater in Russia. The police ended up shooting in canisters of fentanyl and ended up killing everyone involved.

Point is that a school is a soft target and that is why they get targeted by mentally ill frickers, terrorists, and anyone else looking to rack up a body count and get attention.

IIRC, the most school deaths in US history actually involved a bombing in the early 1900s by someone upset at the school. No firearms involved with that one.

We have way more millennial weirdos that cant get laid. They lock themselves up in their dark bedroom jerking off and playing violent video games. They get depressed easily and are weak minded. They soon decide to kill random people like they do on the video game. The weirdo perceives that the innocent people he kills has a better life than he does.

In most all cases, the rest of us do have better lives.

It's really gag simple.

Parents, yank your kid out of his bedroom or basement and make him get outside and play sports, get a job or do something. Dont keep producing these pussy cowards.

We don't have more mass murders than the rest of the world.

and the lax definition vs. who comes up under the lax definition didn't work so hot did it?
