It's the classic soft target. But again, most of the school shootings are indigenous to that school. Just like most of the workplace shootings were indigenous to that workplace.
They call it "going postal" for a reason
Mass shootings arn’t exclusive to schools.
Calling it a mass shooting cuts out other mass attacks like mass stabbings and Truck of Peace visits.
I don’t think mass stabbings are a thing
No shooting are not unique to schools. As I said, workplace and hospital shooters.
>shooters dont attack affluent highschools and colleges
If they are then they arn’t as common
How many people have to be stabbed for it to be mass?
4... I imagine
That’s the criteria for gun violence
I don;t think anyone tracks the stats.
When was the last mass stabbing you heard about
Most homocides are with firearms
In places like Japan they track mass stabbings because guns are restricted so knives are the next best thing.
For reasons which should be obvious
They also have a sword fetish.
March 2014, 130 people are wounded or killed in a knife attack in china
Japan’s homocide rate is very low but their suicide rate is higher than any country
And China will not stop talking about the mass stabbing in the far west
Yeah, that
They consider it their 9/11
Id rather have a country where people kill each other than themselves
Um
At least you're responsible for yourself
I'd hate to be killed by an outside agency
Suicide is at least concentual
130 people and they consider that on the level of 9/11? Cute.
Yes, they do.. Because is it politically expedient.
You have to understand that china is an authoritarian police state
The Middle East is looking at us like “3000 casualties? That’s cute.”
Then again, Malt, we considered Oklahoma City to be our "9/11" before 9/11
This exact kind of thing is what the government is supposed to prevent
And it was 168 dead
Oklahoma was at least a Federal building blown up. I also don't remember much back then about the response.
China harps on the Uighur knife incident because it fits their narrative that the Uighurs are terrorists and need to be put down
Who was in that federal building? Children. A child care!
If people are killing each other it means they're angry. If they're killing themselves it means they have no hope .
That Ryder truck went off right next to the child care. It was awful.
Id prefer to live in an angry nation than one without hope.
