Mass shooting survivors: 'Everybody just kind of moves on' 03:50
(CNN)Two weeks have passed since the three Atlanta-area spa shootings claimed the lives of eight people, and in that time at least 20 other mass shootings have taken place.
The incidents have stretched from California to Washington, DC, and many have left multiple victims dead.

The incidents have stretched from California to Washington, DC, and many have left multiple victims dead.
...But we only sensationalize the ones that at initial report are perpetrated by white males using ARs. If the facts change, our coverage disappears.
Yup. And we “convert” al Issa to “allysa”...
Most of them were probably minorities shooting minorities and/or criminals shooting criminals which doesn’t advance The Narrative.
Are we being played in order to gin up fear so that we will beg the government to keep us safe?
“CNN defines a mass shooting as a shooting incident that results in four or more casualties (dead or wounded)”
This is not the definition most people use. Most people think mass shooting as a synonym for spree shooting, which of there has been 3 this year.
IIRC the fbi uses the 3 or more fatalities in one incident to classify them as ‘mass’ shootings. Bueller?
CNN is simply redefining “mass shooting” to make thinfs appear worse then they are to forward the filthy RATs’ gun control agenda.
The people at CNN are the enemies of the United States of America. They are working from within to destroy it. They deserve no rights.
Here is the definition a leftist (but not extreme left) magazine Mother Jones uses and they started using it in 2012, so well before Trump.
“Our research focused on indiscriminate rampages in public places resulting in four or more victims killed by the attacker. We exclude shootings stemming from more conventionally motivated crimes such as armed robbery or gang violence.”
I think this is the type of event most people first think when they hear the phrase “mass shooting”.
All of these issues are crap. CNN is liberal, Biden is Democrat. Now Biden is pushing gun laws, and CNN will do the propaganda leg work.
If you were to actually collect the statistics on homosexual men and pedophilia, you’d see that almost all guys abusing little boys sexually are “gay.” But since the FBI stopped collecting those metrics/statistics in about 1993/1994 you won’t find any correlation anymore, and that must mean that this isn’t true, right? The government is full of factual science also. LOL
The point here is that the MSM and what stories they decide to focus attention on and even the so called statistics are all crap. It’s just a game of manipulating the masses with pseudo science/statistics, appeals to emotions/feelings (but then always claiming it’s all based on science), and ad homonym attacks on those that dare disagree: racist, homophobe, xenophobic, sexist, Neanderthal, close minded, bigoted.
Will CNN report on the number of Covid cases among the border and the migrants? How about them not meeting social distancing requirements in these overfilled detention facilities, I thought that was all real science and important stuff according to CNN? https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/21/health/social-distancing-coronavirus-faq-wellness-trnd/index.html CNN has written a lot on Trump and why he’s wrong not closing everything down immediately, but now they are OK with folks being jammed together and practically on top of one another and it’s not even news worthy?
Most of the MSM is nothing more than an “unofficial” public relations arm of the Democrat party.
The heads of near all the major media conglomerates (including big tech) are Democrats. Many in the White House staff end up in the media when their time is up, or they get recruited from the media to serve at the White House, or even as campaign managers... Near all the campaign contributions go to the Democrats. Historically, journalists in polls showed that about 85% lean Democrat... This is what you get.
Statistics don’t lie, but liars use statistics.
Sorry, forgot to write it into my last post.
The wide and ridiculous definition comes from the Brady Campaign. They were founded in 1974, but I am not sure when they started their tracking campaign using it. It was a long time ago though.
A road rage incident, where someone shoots a car hitting no one and the car crashes causing 4 injuries is a mass shooting by the Brady Bunch definition.
Yes the FBI is good at their job.
If we only banned guns, all this horror would go away.
Surely I didn’t need a sarcasm tag?
Lot of gang activity involved. But don’t go after gangs; go after the guns of a law abiding citizen in Nebraska.
The dems are waiting for a big one with a White shooter, and then they [try to] seize all guns.
