Joe is talking about his blasting his diapers. The SS code for it is “mass shooting.”
Actually, Biden isn't wrong.
It's just that most people associate "mass shootings" with disgruntled white shooters and high fatalities when in reality, every day, there are mass shooting in the inner cities committed by blacks that result in low fatalities with multiple injuries.
It's the "Sailer Law" named after the excellent VDare columnist Steve Sailer: If the number of fatalities is greater than the number injured, the shooter is likely white. If the number of injured is greater than the number of fatalities, the shooter is likely black.
This is due entirely to typical 'hood shootings where someone just empties a firearm, typically held sideways or over the head into a crowd, in an effort to shoot someone who pissed him off and winds up injuring a bunch of innocent bystanders (and possibly killing a few, usually children sleeping in a bedroom blocks away).
Technically, these are mass shooting events but the news media tends to ignore them.
Maybe Joey is seeing into the future of what the IRS is planning?
I predict the new IRS agents will come from the same pool of applicants as current DMV and USPS workers. Angry black women with little understanding of tax laws and a whole lot of positional authority.
There is mass snorting every single day in Hunter’s room.
Worst three years of my life, working at that awful agency.
But we know that’s not what he means. He means mass events using “weapons of war”. It’s very difficult to ignore the actual violence everyday in these big blue shitholes while simultaneously trying to gaslight folks in to thinking school shootings happen every day. Which is Biden game.
The official FBI crime statistics used to define a mass shooting as three dead - excluding the shooter.
The definition also excluded family related mass shootings, gang related mass shootings, and shootings that involved other unlawful activities like robbery or drug dealing.
What is the current definition of a mass shooting?
Anything the MSM and Political Left say it is!
Every day you say?
Enter the left wing whackos on queue to start going after ‘communities’ with violence with a MAGA hat on.
Biden could ask his fellow democrats to stop committing crime. He won’t.
