Make no mistake as to who it is with our Constitution in its crosshairs.
An unceasing assault that began in the ‘20s.
No on will get on the air and refute them. The first time someone says ‘No there have not been 18 mass shootings, most of those reports are of minor incidents’, the response will be, ‘Does it matter? All those children were killed and one is too many’. Which is true, and no one wants to fight a concept with facts. The concept is that school shootings are bad. It sounds idiotic to even say it, because no one opposes that concept. If you set yourself up for being called callous to the victims, it doesn’t matter how many there were. You’re going to put on the defensive.
I read it on the internet, so it must be true.
[/sarcasm]
I heard FBN during 3 o’clock hr say that there had been 18 mass shootings in USA so far this yr ie 2018. I heard the host of show say that at least two times.
Maybe a dozen school building were shot at?
That would qualify as a school shooting.
It would not surprise me that the number of teenagers in Japan who kill themselves (particularly during the springtime national high school exam period) easily outpaces the number of American high school students killed in shooting related incidents (even with yesterday’s tragedy).
We, and Donald Trump, are blessed by the stupidity of our enemies.
Nobody is going to believe there was a school shooting every couple days, and they are going to question the nutcases who push that thought
Fake news now includes misrepresenting accidental shootings and suicides by gun around school as a series of mass murder rampages.
I hate the fake news media. They lie about shootings to bolster their call for gun confiscation.
What else do they lie about? Never mind...
I don’t think I’ve ever heard the media freak out as much following a shooting as they are this time around. It is unreal.
The media perpetuates school shootings to promote their gun control policy.
Idiots are a dime a dozen these days,, that’s why the media is full of them.
Sounds like justification for Australian type confiscation.
No guns no crime!
Here’s an old school tip for you for that kind of column. The arguments with details should start in the second paragraph. The first paragraph should contain a very clear thesis argument.
Most of the more intelligent and caring readers who read more than a headline probably make it through the third paragraph, approximately, before reading or doing something else. They move on and only see the piece as a he-said-she-said kind of write-up instead of reading the necessary facts (the evidence) and disseminating those to their friends.
The media lies.. Constantly. That you can be sure of.
Shame on Fox News for not letting the dust settle before making comments that as it turned out were untrue.
I get so frustrated when the media doesn’t do it’s homework. I am impressed this news outlet did. And the media wonders why we don’t watch anymore.
The other fake news some politician put out as that mass shootings only occur in the US...
As if Brevik in Norway doesn’t count, the shootings and abductions of Nigerian schoolkids didn’t happen at Boco Haraam’s hands, and Beslan didn’t happen.
If they used the same standards they used to come up with the 18 figure for the US then the rest of the world is swimming in school shootings....many a bullet’s whizzed by schools in the ME alone, and who keeps count in Kashmir...
