Michael Bloomberg Claims ‘21 Students Are Shot Every Day’ Under Trump

Democrat presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg claims “21 students are shot every day” under President Trump.

In other words, Bloomberg is claiming that the 14 students killed in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, 2018, were only part of the picture that day. Seven others were allegedly shot somewhere else, if Bloomberg’s claim is to be believed. And the next day, 21 more were shot, and then 21 were shot again the day after that, and so on.

Bloomberg offers no substantiation for his claim. Instead, he released a video this week claiming there have been 263 school shootings since President Trump took office.

Two things need to be noted. First, Bloomberg’s video provides zero substantiation for the claim of 263 school shootings.

Secondly, the phrase “school shootings” is very subjective and, as Bloomberg’s gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety has shown, it can lead to massive amounts of exaggeration.

For example, in December 2014 Everytown released a report claiming “100 school shootings” had occurred since the heinous December 14, 2012, attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School. Breitbart News examined the “shootings” listed by Everytown and reported that the list contained non-school shootings, shootings that did not occur, and accidental discharges of firearms that were legally possessed on campus.

In fact, Everytown cited an Idaho State University instructor who accidentally shot himself in the foot with his concealed carry firearm as an example of a “school shooting.”

Bloomberg and the likes of him, just like in the Weimar Republic days,
incessantly debasing, demeaning and undermining our culture and institutions.

It won't end well, never has.

They want us disarmed:

[[[Bloomberg offers no substantiation for his claim.]]]

Like most liberals they usually pull their claims from their asses.

It’s almost like he’s part of a (((group))) that wants to disarm us so that (((they))) can send us off to the camps. The guy is really sick in the head.

”[…] Bloomberg is claiming that the 14 students killed in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, 2018, […]"

As a side note to this thread, please consider this.

If the FBI was warned about Parkland shooter before the shooting, was the FBI allegedly too preoccupied trying to connect Trump with Russia to investigate allegations concerning shooter?

"FBI was warned about alleged Parkland shooter nearly 5 months ago, tipster says” —WPTV (Note possible problem with article posted / updated dates)

After all, PDJT’s mock impeachment showed that House cannot walk, chew gum and impeach at same time.

The shootings in Chicago are pretty bad. But they’re not even close to “21 people per day” bad, even if we include all victims, whether students or not, and whether the victim dies or not.

Nancy botched it up really bad

Looks like the Impeachment is Null since Nancy failed to do it correctly and submit it over to the senate. McConnell should just send a statement that Nancy had enough time to appoint the manager(s) and submit impeachment to the senate, since she failed to do her elected duty, impeachment is considered Null and void by the US senate, if Nancy doesn’t like that, take it up with the supreme court.

He says “Under” but means because of. So Trump is being blamed for the non-existent shootings.

He wishes that we would forget about the shootings in democrat-run inner cities, directly attributable to democrats.

Dems just toss out Jell-O to see what sticks to the liberals so they can continue to call Trump Hitler or whatever their miniscule minds can dream up.
