That chart tech posted is laughable..it's so one sided and "cherry picks" what it considers to be a mass shooting. (even then the black number is pretty high considering they are only what...11% of the population).
Here is an interesting article pointing out the fact there is no consistency on what is considered a mass shooting/killing. People pick and choose them to fit their agenda...as I mentioned earlier though the motive isn't that important to the dead people and more are killed nightly in the cities and barely make the local news.
https://www.keranews.org/post/what-mass-shooting-why-we-struggle-agree-how-many-there-were-year"Congress defined mass killing as “[three] or more killings in a single incident,”" - that would therefore include said Chicago dumbfuckery.

Mass shootings only represent 0.0001% of all shootings, and yet they are the ones that get all the national news coverage and political spin. And you think that's just an accident. A big coincidence.

The funny/sad thing about liberals is how they go out of their way to twist the facts and truth to support their moronic narratives.
All that energy on being wrong.lol. Talk about narcissism and egomania.

The power of the media on weak minds is astounding

Again Stl,
Gang violence is different than randomly picking off total strangers.
Here’s the breakdown by race from the 1980s to the present.
Whitey holds top honors

^ people who were shot during gang violence are more likely to recover.
gun shot wounds acquired during gang violence are also less painful and have a faster recovery rate.
stray bullet from gang violences are inert and dont cause injuries to the unintended targets.

Of course the Hispanics are fairly unrepresented because they just behead people and throw the bodies down abandoned wells rather than use guns...they like it up close and personal too.

It's no coincidence this has all happened in the last 30yrs or so (spree shootings by angry kids).
Corporal punishment pretty much "outlawed" in the same period. Kids now threatening to call CPS if their dad gives them a thick ear. Teachers having zero power, parents fined if the kid doesn't show up for school...and then the parent pretty much having his hands tied on how he can then punish the kid.
Fucking recockulous...in my day you were scared of your teachers and the caning you'd get if you stepped out of line, the teachers were mean looking 50/60yr olds not hot 23yr olds. You got an asswhooping at school and then another at home.
A complete lack of discipline, unrestricted internet access, social media, violent video games, horror movies..they all play a part in the mentality of the last couple of generations.
Stop treating your kids like entitled princes and princesses and they wont grow up thinking the world revolves around them.
Again guns have been around for centuries...these spree killings have been the last 30yrs...It's not guns that's the problem..it's society.

I remember as a kid I broke a fence and the owner chase after me, marched me to his house and called the cops. The cops came, scared the shit out of me then took me home, told my dad what I'd done and I got the ass whooping of my life.
These days if that happened the guy who chased me down would be arrested for kidnapping and I'd probably get victim support counseling.
