I’ve noticed a lot of mass murders in the news.
I have to wonder, is the rate of mass murder really increasing? Or is the rate of reporting of mass murder increasing?
These are two quite different situations, and have very different implications.
Columbine happened once, but there were hundreds of stories on it.
Sandy Hook happened once, thousands of stories on it.
The rate isn’t higher - the reporting of them and fixation on them has grown.
the definitions once again are distorted by libtard hoplophobes. there is a difference between a school shooting ie columbine, and a shooting in a school ie the divorced wife walks into the principal’s office and shoots her husband. but the msm reports both as a school shooting. and the number of deaths needed to be called a mass murder seem to have gotten much smaller.
of course unless it’s a bunch of urban thugs in major dim controlled cities like chiraq killing people. then it’s not even news.
