Mass shooting in British Columbia

[Michael K.]

Have they found a way to blame it on Trump yet? Or how about "toxic masculinity"? That's a fun scapegoat! Oh, I know, how about climate change made them do it? The guns made them do it? They just needed a 'mental health' day? Anything but personal accountability, right?

Trump Derangement Sydrome forced her to feel hopeless and he had no option?

I have zero problems saying trannies are demented and are a massive problem.

They belong in the looney bins, not reading to our kids while dressed like Disney princesses.

People who can't acknowledge the tranny problem are the same ones who don't understand per capita while reading crime statistics that show blacks are the problem.

So I see that as always, you're hanging your hat on something that some completely random person says on social media. I mean seriously, do you have ANY opinions that are your own and not somebody else's?

And by the way, I don't know about some of those other shooters but the Uvalde shooter wasn't trans.

As always, you're right there to swat away any information that's not fed to you by Fox News.

Absolute clown. Almost funny to hear you say anything about having an original opinion. Lol.

So let me get this straight: all you ever do is post other people's opinions from social media, and your defense is to mumble some straw man mumbo-jumbo about Fox News, which I never watch. I mean, what a weird reply, it's like a bot wrote it.

As for me having "unoriginal" opinions, you don't see me cut-and-pasting something that Haywood Jablomi posted on Snapchat. But I know that you don't really think that and just said it for the sake of saying it.

Is posting something you agree with posting other people's opinions? You post any type of link, it's not you agreeing with it, it's just their opinion? I get that that's Don Gorgon's approach, but not typical.

LOL, I figured at least you would catch my "typo".

SeattleorBust: Does the chart imply that there were NO mass shootings anywhere else? (Haiti? Venezuela? Kenya?)

DavidGee: It is a good question, if the poor parts of these cities are like the poor parts of the US cities you cite. But, correct me if I am wrong, aren't the mass shootings in the US typically committed by people who grew up in suburbs and or rural areas? (i.e., rather than poorer inner city areas)

Probably, your city ones are just criminals who target one person or a few people, view it as "business" and their intent is to get away with it whereas your mass shooters are random madmen who can be from anywhere, want the notoriety, are just going for the biggest score and fully expect to be captured or, more likely, killed. They all add up, but your run-of-the-mill criminals contribute far more to the scoreboard than the madmen do.

Our murder issues, whether small-scale or large-scale, are much more sociological than they are "availability of guns"-related. We have a lot of criminals and a lot of whackos that many other countries don't have. It just cracks me up that SoB actually believes that Americans are just like New Zealanders.

I've given up trying to figure this out, but I know it's important. Why do you think we have higher murder rates than other "developed" "first world" countries? If that answer is that we have more whackos and criminals, it begs the question, WHY do we have more whackos and criminals. (I mean, wasn't Australia established as a panel colony?)

Let me know if you still need help figuring it out...

Love a good 'panel' colony, I mean the vans there are epic.

I doubt the US has a higher rate - likely a higher reported rate - which is then blown up by the media and politicians exploiting it for thier own gain.

want a society of whackos? Here's your playbook - just destabilize the fabric of society - manufacture "outrages" and "protests" every week for 15 years. Isolate people behind iphones, then destroy them with a pandemic - leave them lonely, isolated, angry, directionless. Then let Phizer tell you they magically have all the answers with one of their many pills - do tis nonestop thjorugh endless TV commercials and magazine adds. Oh, then open a dispensary on every corner to further erode will power and the brain, causing more isolation and confusion. Oh, try to convince people that dudes dressed as women should be allowed in bathrooms with women and little girls - causing more confusion. Also, side note - pretty wild people trying to tell you that's normal - are the same people going to Epstein's island - but people are too medicated to connect the dots. Oh, add in radical political polarization to the point of mental illness - go watch people protesting ICE and harrassing the agents - all in concert with "defund the police" and the non-fucking-stop "chaos agenda" siege we have been under for 10 years now - which has been orchestrated - completely different than organic protests and outrage. No society - NONE - has a weekly outrage or protest agenda - none. But yet you see it happening. It's to create division, chaos and confusion. Done long enough it rots the brain.

^^^^ Gil, add up these circumstances that have played out over the last 15 years - massively accellerated over the last 5-10 (also, the same timing as all the Epstein stuff - gee what a convenient distraction) and you find a whole wave of lonely, confused, drugged up, angry, directionless, radicalized people - whackadoodles. Sadly, most of it isn't thier fault, they've been brainwashed, hoodwinked and ruined by drugs and big pharma and the shocking scam that was covid.

What did you expect as a result? You think it's coincidence?

LOL good one. Van life.

That is a pretty bleak picture you pain, AuroraAve. Two questions: [1] Haven't other countries had the same "social" pressures as the US, and [2] With all off this horrible stuff, why is the homicide rate so LOW (the highest number on bpj's chart is 30.4 per 100,000 per year. That is a lot of people who are NOT killing each other.

bpj: You chart presents a big racial disparity. Still, the rate for whites in the US is higher than the rate in just about any other developed country. Why is this? Are the effects AuroraAve describes having a bigger effect on the population here than in other places?

If you look at just the White line, ~2 per 100k, it's almost perfectly in line with other civilized countries. Africa and South America not included in that discussion, obviously.

The United States rate is 5.9/100k

When you add in the Blacks and Hispanics, we start looking like their continents do. Surprise.

According to Grok, blacks account for 13% of the US population, but committed over 55% of the murders.
