    They don't care about spinning this to you.

    Their marketing is specific to a certain demographic and it WORKS. We always ask how on earth do these lemmings accept this? Because it is scientific, targeted and exactly what they want to hear.

    Also remember, humans are easily domesticated. Once domesticated, you can beat them, treat them like cattle, and ignore them....as long as food drops when the bell rings.

    They're trying to classify street shootings as mass shootings now:

    start lumping street crime (gangs etc) into school shootings and it totally changes the discourse.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Well, I guess shooting into a crowd is actually a mass shooting though.

    It takes Marshalls to have martial law.
    Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

    I guess. Maybe I’m missing the point.
    If you’re talking sensationalizing mass shootings, I get it. But a mass shooting is still a mass shooting. Little kids and innocent people have BEEN getting caught up in stray bullets.

    Irregardless of the circumstances, mass shootings are classified using specific parameters. Outside of academic study, and discussions on violence as a whole, it’s a misleading figure that’s used to manipulate people and push agendas. But that’s most statistics. Even if the numbers are accurate, most statistics are bullshit.

    Using gang violence is an easy way to pad the stats to push the narrative. I’m sure the gang members purchased these firearms legally. Think 11 people got shot in a drive by on St. Paul road in Summerton over the weekend.
