Media conflate data on mass shootings to inflate number, blame white men
The Washington Times ^ | October 10, 2017 | Bradford Richardson

Whether you agree with the widely reported statistic that there have been nearly 300 mass shootings this year might depend on how you define “mass shooting.”

In the aftermath of the Las Vegas massacre, left-leaning media outlets have been playing fast and loose with the data on mass shootings to inflate their number and suggest that white men make up a disproportionate share of the perpetrators.

I think anyone with a brain knows that minorities commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime in this country. But the morons on social media who spew this white man mass shooter nonsense aren’t interested in facts. Facts are racists and get you banned.
This social media generation of millennials are the most ignorant, and intellectually lazy group of people ever. The media reinforces this lie.

Assaults by Hollywood moguls are also being blamed on White men as a group.

Mass shooting or mass murder? Feds define mass murder when 4 or more victims, excluding the perp, die.

The media create false facts and national perception. They are far left sycophants.

It's like we said, hey let's make the best country EVER with the greatest form of government. But let's build in a glitch just to keep us on our toes. We don't want this to be TOO easy.

Wait, let me rephrase. Diversity is our strength. Yea, that's what I meant.

Obvious conclusion:

Obunga was helping cause the shootings, or his "peoples" decided it was open season.

I'd be curious how they define mass shootings. I think of them as mowing down random people. I wonder if they count like domestics or gang shootings as mass shootings.

Not the same, to me.

That was a profound error as proven by the plethora of ongoing consequences.

Some crime statistics classify hispanics as “white” further obfuscating the actual numbers.

It's a cold fact that white people have committed 100 percent of all shootings committed by white people.

You play the hand you are dealt. We can cure a lot of ills by MAGA, because the rising tide will lift all boats. In any case we can be thankful we learned early and didn't just import millions of jihadis and have to learn about that the hard way.

The ultimate solution is to make it work out through grit and determination and leadership, like they do in the Army.

I think this presumes too much. The past is full of suffering, let the future be full of hope ... “I said that” ;-)

“Make the mistake of importing Africans? “

... And release 10 million slaves into a population of 40 million after the civil war?

If “mass shootings” can be attributed to white men then all other forms of murder don’t have to be discussed at all and strict gun control is, of course, necessary to keep guns out of the hands of White Men. If White Men can be barred from legally owning weapons then Peace and Harmony and Democrats will rule in the land.

They are counting shootings of, I think four or more persons. Maybe it’s four for any reason. If you and your wife are assaulted by a gang of thugs with head to toe tattooing and guns in their handskill four of them you are a mass shooter.
