The truth is most recent mass shootings were committed by MAGA types and the media won't report on them because the media is run by red pill types who actually want the MAGAs to overthrow the government so they can start enslaving women and exterminate everyone else.

Yeah this, they love money so trump and violence is the best outcome.

Plus, most law enforcement and federal agencies are ran by MAGA types, so while we peons might notice the coinkydink that MAGA/QAnon/conservatives are murdering people every day, there's no big broad response.

Like, literally literally, they invaded the capital, they tried to overthrow the government, tried to murder the vice president, tried to bomb the new vice president. And the response is basically nil. The politicians and public/media figures that aided and fostered it haven't been punished, they've been rewarded.

End times poo poo.

Not that weird!

quote:

GVA uses a purely statistical threshold to define mass shooting based ONLY on the numeric value of 4 or more shot or killed, not including the shooter. GVA does not parse the definition to remove any subcategory of shooting. To that end we don’t exclude, set apart, caveat, or differentiate victims based upon the circumstances in which they were shot.

A Mass Murder is 4 or more shot AND killed.

According to their front page there have been 131 mass shootings and 5 mass murders in 2022 so far. I don't think any of those 5 made big international news, at least not enough to really register with me anyways, so the idea that people are numb to US mass murders seems legit to me.

After Port Arthur we haven't really had any. We've had shootings but not really "mass" but more "American kerfuffle". I think 2019 four people got killed and that was loving immense. Wild poo poo.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

My brother-in-law owns a deli in the middle of nowhere and open carries a pistol at the deli counter. Imagine getting a half pound of swiss cheese from a guy who looks like he's ready for the OK Corral.

It's hilarious but I'm also waiting for the day I see him make the news because, go figure, he's also insanely paranoid and super racist.

Ah I think I may be confusing it with something done via Reddit or a really weird definition that was used for school shootings.

I don't know what people are so excited about. There's only been 5 mass murders so far.

remember when that guy shot over 400 people in las vegas for absolutely no reason and had like 30 rifles in his hotel room and he shot himself afterward and then the cops and feds were just like "yeah man i dunno" and then you didn't hear about it anymore

his reason was he was trying to shoot up the bus/plane that shuttles area 51 employees/contractors to the base

This was cool, even the police union was against it but we had state reps making statements like "well when I was a kid I wanted to be a cop and I believe if I had become one I'd be in favor of this bill".

OP is the shooter right? He was annoyed there weren't anymore so he made one himself. Plus that area is a lot of lower income and Hispanic people, just the kind of people a CHUD would want to kill.
