Losers going on mass shootings general thread

[slowdive]

Why all these shooting are called "mass shootings" when in most of them the dead victims are less than 10?

i guess it's because it happened in a place where there could be mass death (10+) so they have to label it as so

conflation between mass shootings and active shooter situations.
Wondering about the whole two shootings a week thing too myself.

Because a mass shooting is defined as having more than 4 casualties, regardless of whether those casualties are killed or just injured.

In addition to this, many states separate this into gang related and non-gang related mass shooting so when comparing statistics you need to watch out for that in order to get a good comparison on where most shooting occur. In Texas's case (since they have been in the news for a bit) I believe they use both. They make up about 9% of the US population and have roughly 7% of the mass shootings, leaving them slightly underrepresented overall.

Personally, I think the high presence of non-gang shootings in the USA is due to the USA having a higher affinity for narcissism compared to other countries. As shootings like this are highly narcissistic in nature.

That's a retarded excuse. It's like killing a few people and call it "genocide".

The real reason they call them "mass shooting" is to create more moral panic. Besides most shootings of that kind are caused by feds. That's why ALL of them happen to places like churches and schools but NEVER to places like banks and politicians' buildings. That's why most of these HAPPEN to use types of guns the politicians want to ban. That's why many of these shooters get expensive guns and shit that people can hardly afford, let alone poor ones. That's why authorities don't act immediately and let the shooters kill people while same authorities will immediately arrest parents that try to get inside the schools to save their kids.

We see much more deaths in daily basis at ghettos and shithole areas but you don't see politicians and moral panic [email protected] complaining about that. And in the bottom line I don't want to hear about gun control from politicians that give/sell lots of guns to terrorist organizations and other countries including socialist dictatorship countries. I don't want to hear about gun control from war veterans that have murdered innocent families in other countries. And finally I don't want to hear about gun control when authorities can't protect me from criminals (including the government itself).

So, nobody's ever laid eyes on it but it's increasingly clear that the Hale manifesto is night and day different from all other mass shooter manifestos thus far. It's become an open, brazen cover-up. It has been kept secret deliberately so that the employees of the religious school they shot up can spew red meat like this:

If this crap keeps up, barring a Snowden/Manning-level act I don't think we'll ever see it. I can't even remember how many mass shootings have happened since then and it's been forgotten, as intended.

Is the Hale manifesto going to join the ranks of the destroyed Gitmo tapes, the Bin Laden helmet cam, the giant pile of blackmail cd-rs found at one of the Epstein residences, et cetera? When they really want something gone, it's gone, and this is going that way.

The Covenant School files a motion to stop the release of some shooting documents

Attorneys for The Covenant School filed a motion of intervention in two separate cases asking the court to withhold some documents in reference to a mass shooting on its campus.

"In its motion for intervention, attorneys for the school said they were filing to "protect its interests" relating to the release of records sought in the matter."

It is undoubtedly the basement tapes 2.0, it'll never be released. The people opposed to releasing it will claim that doing so would inspire copycats. There's probably some minor degree of truth to that, but everyone knows the real reason why it'll never be released even though the entire world knew that the recent Texas shooter was totally definitely a super duper white supremacist. This story is (D)ifferent.

"In its motion for intervention, attorneys for the school said they were filing to "protect its interests" relating to the release of records sought in the matter."

The only rational explanation for this bizarre development is that Hale wrote about some terrible thing that happened while attending the school. Regardless of if it was something that had actually happened, it would make the school look bad.

I didn't even know about the basement tapes until recently. Columbine is such a deep history event that any tampering with it (and there's been more than just this) stinks to high heaven.
