“Howard High School of Technology”

Obviously the poor girl was a victim of “Calculus Rage”.

I sincerely apologize for not recognizing you as a DU troll earlier.

The actual number of victims of school shootings is but a pale ghost of the numbers killed by gang beatings perpetrated by thugs who value nothing more than their own self-image. This is true notwithstanding your anti-gun BS.
Small batches vs. thousands, one at a time.

Had I known your agenda, I wouldn’t have wasted our time and bandwidth.

The article stated the girl was in a fight with another girl over a boy when she got jumped. The other girls friends came in and defended her, but also killed the first girl.

Again, this was one tragic incident, and is indeed newsworthy, but I would not equate it with a mass murder event.

They’re actually in real Amish country.

Doubt there are many (if any) Amish in Wilmington DE.

Context matters. While I’m quite sure you were serious, how is a young girl being murdered by a gang “ categorically different” to a victim murdered in a school shooting?

I never said it was.

Don’t walk it back. Your opening gambit was that this young lady’s death was not as tragic or disgusting as the deaths of those killed in school shootings.

This leaves a couple of options...
1) That you’re a racist idiot, or worse, a lib troll trying to pretend to be a racist idiot, just to draw attention.
2) That you’re vehemently anti-gun and hoped to grind your axe on that topic.

Initially, I guessed wrong.

Either way, only an asshole would make such a value judgement on another person’s lost life.

More on point however, pick your favorite year for school shootings (or mass shootings in general if you prefer) and total them up. When you’ve finished, compare that number to the same year’s gang related homicide numbers...

You’ll find that the stats don’t support your assertion that it doesn’t equate to mass murder.

It seemed that you did, based on the post that you were replying to. I don’t believe that potp said that middle-class white people were to blame for this, only that cultural rot and a lack of values contributed.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. I’ll butt-out now.

I never did say or imply that fewer people are killed in gang violence than in school shootings.

I did not mention or imply anything about race in my posts and from reading the story there does not appear to be any racial angle to the story.

Simply because I did mention shootings, does not mean I’m anti-gun.

The DemonRATs have to be pissed. Apparently there were no “assault weapons” involved. No dancing in the blood for the ‘RATS this weekend.

Since you didn’t say, or even imply the nasty things I’ve accused you of, again; why is this girl’s death less tragic and disgusting?
