manicholic 3,694 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The attack Wednesday in Alexandria, Va., is the 154th mass shooting this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit organization that tracks information on shootings in the United States. On 165 days through the calendar year, that averages out to a little less than one mass shooting per day. The shooting at the congressional baseball practice is in fact the sixth such incident this week. On Tuesday, eight people were shot in two incidents in Baltimore. On Sunday, nine people were shot during an incident in Chicago, four were shot at a lounge in Tennessee, and four teenagers were shot at an apartment complex in Houston. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/14/the-gop-baseball-shooting-is-the-154th-mass-shooting-this-year/?tid=sm_tw&utm_term=.ec3e207e266c There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

Goosey 3,017 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 "Other sources like Mother Jones use a narrower definition. To be considered a mass shooting under the outlet’s guidelines, the perpetrator, or in rare cases perpetrators, must kill at least four people in a single location, usually a public place. Mother Jones also excludes most crimes that are primarily related to gang activity, armed robbery or domestic violence. Using their definition, there have been four mass shootings so far this year. Wednesday’s incidents are not among them." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/congress-mass-shooting_us_59414b06e4b003d5948c8364 "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.

So people on a pop music forum don't care about the world because they're too busy discussing pop music? ...on a pop music forum? I care about this crap too, but chances are I'm gonna get my info by watching the news. CNN isn't gonna cover what Britney is doing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
