Entertainment television continually provides a false impression of those who commit mass public shootings and how they commit them. Show after show has mass public shootings involving machine guns, though that never happens. But another myth is that attacks are frequently by white supremacists. In his first Townhall as president, Biden claimed: “And now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.” CBS entertainment television constantly portrays white supremacists as the most pressing danger facing the country, committing almost all the mass public shootings. Yet, that is far from the case.

Our dataset of Mass Public Shooting List US 1998-January 2021 provides information not only on the ages, political views, and religious beliefs of mass public shooters but also the race and gender of these killers. Mass public shootings are defined as those cases where four or more people are killed at one point in time in a public place and not involving some other type of crime such as a gang fight or a robbery. We also looked at information on the mass vehicle and bombing attacks (though bombing attacks in the US where multiple people are killed are rare). Clearly, we showed that very few of these attacks are politically or religiously motivated.

None of that matters unless it denigrates caucasions and firearms and beliefs.

I watch the show ‘the first 48’. 90% of the perps were AA. Of course the msm doesn’t care about facts.

I remember Law and Order billed itself as “stories ripped from the headlines”, but it was always “ripped from the headlines and changed to suit our narrative”. Now, the so-called “news media” are doing the exact same thing.

Funny how white supremacists are a major concern to demonicRATS and The Fake News Mediums after President Dr. Trump received more black and hispanical votes than your typical Republican Presidential candidate.

That means more white people would've had to have voted for Biden to make up the difference.

There's your evidence of white supremacy.

[Hawleyish]

Is Biden a white supremacist? If not, why not? How do we know?

[Incorrigible]

Bump

[Terry L Smith]

He forgot the Negro who shot up a car or two of evening commuters on the Long Island Railroad.

I watch that show sometimes too. Have you ever noticed, about 90% of the time the cops usually only have a suspicion, but no real evidence against the murderer? But they bring in the person who usually then confesses.

Had a li eral relative, you g idealist that does t like authority of course, tell me “there have been so many killing of innocent people by police”. She of course only meant of black people, and meant that police were racists.

I felt like dropping some facts on her, but nothing Will change the mind of liberals. As Clint Eastwood said “if you could reason with liberals, there wouldn’t be any liberals”

Fact: on.y 2 unarmed black people were killed by police last year unjustifiable, and the officer in both those cases were tried and convicted.

Fact: Only 9 unarmed black men were killed , all of .ast year, 7 of them justifiably for reaching for cops guns, or another weapon on scene

Fact: 54 officers lost their lives last year, [[possibly]] many because they hesitated when confronting black or other minorities, because they were afraid to appear un PC no doubt.

So with millions of dangerous arrests all over the country, and only 2 unarmed b.ack people being killed unjustifiable, and the cops involved in Those 2 deaths convicted, I would say that is a phenomenal record of respecting EVERYONES rights in dangerous situations that cops face every day.

And just for the record, 19 unarmed white folks were killed by police last year, so where is all the supposed “systemic racism” I ask?

[Bob434]

Yeah the media screamed and screamed, still screaming, that Trump is a racist, whe. Nothing could be further fro the truth. Yet Biden has said some of the most racist crap of anyone. He just said it twice again in ,ast town hall, and the media is deaf to it.

[frank ballenger]

Don’t watch TV now but I read that some reality show in the 2000s about crimes had its producer asked if the culprits reflect true statistics. He admitted they leafed through folders of crime reports for probably 20-25 incidents before finding another white who could be chosen to make it balanced.

Reminds me of Jeff Foxworthy: You might be a redneck if your mother has twice been the subject of True Stories of the Highway Patrol.

The False Narrative Of White Supremacists Doing Mass Public Shootings: Racial, Gender, Religious And Political Views Of These Killers From 1998 Through January 2021

Entertainment television continually provides a false impression of those who commit mass public shootings and how they commit them. Show after show has mass public shootings involving machine guns, though that never happens. But another myth is that attacks are frequently by white supremacists. In his first Townhall as president, Biden claimed: “And now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.” CBS entertainment television constantly portrays white supremacists as the most pressing danger facing the country, committing almost all the mass public shootings. Yet, that is far from the case.

Our dataset of Mass Public Shooting List US 1998-January 2021 provides information on the ages, political views, and religious beliefs of mass public shooters and these killers’ race and gender. Mass public shootings are defined as those cases where four or more people are killed at one point in time in a public place and not involving some other type of crime such as a gang fight or a robbery. We also looked at information on the mass vehicle and bombing attacks (though bombing attacks in the US where multiple people are killed are rare). Clearly, we showed that very few of these attacks are politically or religiously motivated.

The claim that these killers are so overwhelmingly white is also misleading. While whites (excluding those from Middle Eastern descent) make up most mass public shooters, that is 7.4% below their share of the population. Hispanics are even lower than their percentage of the U.S. population. By contrast, those of Middle Eastern descent, Asians, blacks, and American Indians are all above their population shares. If you combine all Christian groups together, you get 12.5% being Christian, so that slightly exceeds the number of Muslims, though Muslims and other non-Christian religions are overrepresented relative to their share of the population and Christians and Jews are underrepresented.

These killers are also overwhelmingly non-political (72%). The next most prominent group are Islamic extremists (9%), but you won’t see any of the television shows having Islamic extremists making these attacks. 

However, mass public shooters are overwhelmingly male, with 96% of shooters being male.

Why does the media not fear us?

[gundog]

Colin Ferguson. He gave us Carolyn McCarthy.

[Robert A Cook PE]

True facts = Not a democrat narrative.

[familyop]

I am unaware of any mass shooting that happened in January, 2021.
