Mass Shootings in the United States - 2019 (to date)

As of August 12th Wikipedia lists 266 Mass Shootings in the United States.  (The link presents the definition of "mass shooting" applied to arrive at this number.)

 

Poor old DonDiego has perused the list to determine a pattern to these events.  He has failed.

 

Nonetheless he can offer some advice:

__Do not spend time in a "park" in Chicago; in fact, avoid Chicago altogether.

__Avoid nightclubs.

__Avoid home invasions.

__Avoid block parties.

 

I like Wiki too !   And I encourage everyone to donate a few bucks to their annual fundraising event.   But I digress..

 

As I've made the point many times in recent days "Mass Shootings" is not synonymous with "Terrorism".

 

Wiki also has a comprehensive list of terrorist attacks in the United States going all the way back to the 50's....and lists them by the motivating ideology.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States#2010%E2%80%93present

 

Since our current president has taken office there have been 14 confirmed acts of domestic terrorism on US soil:

 

11 -  motivated by  neo-nazi, right wing ideologies

1   -   motivated by left wing lunatic ideology

2   - motivated by Extremist Islam

 

Among the 11 right wing acts noted is the recent El Paso shooting that people on this board try to falsely conflate with street crime.    But I'm sure that wasn't the purpose of this thread, right?   I would opine DonDiego's statisitcs make a pretty solid argument for gun control.

Since 1966, Obeyme's tenure leads the list of mass shootings at 24. That is correct, 24. The next highest total was 8 for Clinton and 8 for Bush. So far, there have been 4 instances during the Trump Presidency. Source, LA Times, October 2, 2017. From article "National Affairs", summer 2019.  That's right, PJ, your Daddy's 8 year's in the White House was and is the worst total of mass killings in the United States. Now go ahead and twist and deflect those facts...

I counted 10 attacks (4 in one day) since Trump became president


tom says-"I counted 10 attacks (4 in one day) since Trump became president"-- Were these considered MASS shootings or just a typical day in Chicago?

Did you run out of fingers?    If you pull down your pants you might be able to get to 11.    Maybe.

 

 

 PJ says-"Did you run out of fingers?    If you pull down your pants you might be able to get to 11.    Maybe." ----- It is apparent that you have not run out of lies and insults - after all, that is all you got.

I see that now that PJ has been found out as a liar after twisting the truth about mass murders, he has abandoned this thread and started another asinine thread. And, as usual, PJ has gone to his standby, last resort tactic of insulting one for speaking the truth. PJ and Mark - a pair of lying, word twisting liberals who would rather lie even if telling the truth was easier.

Very well said.

Do you two have each others phone numbers?

 

I posted my truthful information...from the same source DonDiego used.    And it made you very constipated, didn't it?   And speaking of insults....here's  a little game to play.  Try and find a thread on this forum where David Miller contributes a post that is not an insult to myslef or Mark.   

 

You'll find about as many instances as black people at a Trump rally.
