90% of those people are probably involved with gang violence.

when the graphic says that 146 mass shootings are unsolved, then goes on to portray the alleged suspects with no sourcing, outside of his own research, of course, I think we can pretty well assume this is just a load of BS from some racist dickwad.

There have been 6 quadruple murders


Mar 28, 2021, 9:07 PM

in Detroit this year. It’s March 20 whatever....do you hear people screaming about those murders? No, cause it’s black on black crime and that doesn’t stir the pot enough to make change.

Wake up.

Really? WHat were the scenarios? Were they innocent people shopping in a super market? Were they just people at work getting blasted? Was it a mass shooting at a school where people were just minding their own business? Were they like Las Vegas, El Paso, or San Bernadino?

It makes a huge difference to most people. Situations matter. Gang violence is different to most rational people. I see that is much different than people minding their own business in a safe town like Boulder just shopping where some deranged gunman comes in starts massacring people. There is an obvious difference. You think gang violence or domestic violence is the same as Sandy Hook. That's fascinating. We will just have to see things differently.

It doesn't make a difference when libs are trying to pull stats for anti-gun legislation. Also, the only situation that seems to matter is whether you support team "D" or team "R".

I also believe there is a difference in gang members killing each other and grocery shoppers being murdered but I will never claim (like many on my side of the aisle) that pointing it out equals you're a racist.

Sadly, I think we'll soon reach a point where it's racist to point out a black man killed a white man.

I can say it...the same thing many blacks say (like Candace Owens). A major problem is the black culture. Another major problem is no one on the left will say it because they want to maintain the black block vote.

The REAL racists in this country are the democrats and people that keep voting them in office. The Dems use government programs to keep blacks dependent so they never become INdependent.

Please explain why black culture is such a problem. I'm assuming this has something to do with encouraging people to remain in poverty and commit more crimes?

Re: How many people will think you are talking about the people


Mar 28, 2021, 8:01 PM

I think it's because some people view mass shootings differently. SOme people like yourself view a mass shooting of gang violence with a drive by, or 5 people getting shot in a fight at a house party after they argued, drugs deals etc etc, or things similar to that, as the same as any mass shooting. People like myself view them as the ones in Boulder, San Bernadino, Sandy Hook, Columbine, Atlanta, or the Las Vegas madness.

Mar 29, 2021, 6:20 AM [ in reply to Re: How many people will think you are talking about the people ]

Why do we assume a driveby or drug deal gone bad is just another day in the ‘hood?

How many of the shooters in the scenarios you mention have mental illness?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Re: I see your point and think I’m mostly onboard


Mar 29, 2021, 7:13 AM

Because sadly it almost is just another day in the worst neighborhoods of Chicago, St.Louis, or New Orleans etc etc, and there are gang issues and gun violence generally. That's never changing in the worst neighborhoods in the USA. It's sad part of life, but it is apples and oranges. Most people understand the difference. Mental illness probably in very few cases. When someone rents a room at the Mandalay Bay, bust out a window, and plans for weeks to open fire on thousands of innocent people at a concert, then proceeds to wound or kill a combined over 400 strangers peacefully having a good time, for some odd reason people see it differently. It's more shocking. It raises more questions as to why. If the entire country lived in one giant dangerous neighborhood then maybe we wouldn't ask. We don't though. We feel like we should be safe going store without having a mass shooter coming in. That's why the news puts more focus on it. The other deaths in the worst neighborhoods in the USA have just become a statistic. There is no narrative. They are different scenarios.

Re: Mass shooters in 2019


Mar 29, 2021, 7:55 AM

I would say the primary difference among the mass shooters is the issue of motive.

For the gang-bangers the motive isn't societal estrangement. They aren't going on some random spree shooting for no good reason as some final swan song to lash out at the whole stupid world.

Their motives are usually far more rational - turf, profit, or just plain revenge for other killings. You don't have to agree with their motives but it's generally easy to understand why they did what they did, and it's usually: law of the jungle.

That is very, very different than somebody who goes into a supermarket or school and unloads an AR-15 on a bunch of strangers, trying to kill as many as possible, knowing full well they may die in the process. That isn't about profit, turf, or really even revenge (since these random strangers certainly will not have owed the perpetrator 34 deaths or however many the shooter ends up killing); at the end of the day, that's a lot more about significance. Most spree shootings are motivated by an overweening need to attain it by someone who feels society or a group within society has unfairly denied it to.

Lumping these together doesn't really get to the heart of the problem at all, which is: how do we stop all this crap?

One thing I can tell you with absolute certaintude is that the GOP has zero ideas whatsoever on this score. Of course, I'm not sold the Dems really do either, but at least they're trying, though their their myriad prickly identity-politics cliques and loony-tunes ideas about "reparations" and "defund the police" are actually making the issues worse.

Right now I see a lot of people playing this really stupid game of "We're the real victims here." Which is not productive.
