Political sites inflating mass-shootings in certain situations, but not in others?

(any instance of a school shooting is not listed here, this is just any instance at all in america, excluding gang-related, terrorism, or shootings for profit/robbery, that have resulted in 4 or more deaths excluding the shooter themself)

wow, quelle suprise

"any instance of a school shooting is not listed here"

<:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>

well yeah, if one guy wounds 3 dudes

thats not a mass shooting

even if its at a school

Columbine isn't included?

it only counts school shootings

above 4 deaths

thats why i said not "any" school shooting

so analyzing the remaining 7 mass shootings we have here

Can we get some memes in here tbh

one of these was a latino man who shot 2 men at a trucking station, then killed his ex-wife, and then killed a man and his daughter

it is assumed to be domestic related, as there was child custody and court date related shit

and it happened at 3 different places in 40 minutes

so not exactly a "mass shooting in a public place" since 3 of these killings happened at people's homes

so the number is narrowed to 6

if we look at another one, the Capital Gazette shooting

Jarrod Ramos shot up the offices of a local newspaper, which had previously put out articles about him disparagingly.

now, while it does not occur at a necessarily "public place", ill still list it here because it was a workplace shooting. not exactly a senseless shooting, but a more targeted one

nightclub shooting, check

synagogue shooting, check

santa fe highschool shooting, check

now we have the waffle house shooting

(yes im serious)

20 days before the shooting

he seemed to be paranoid and thought people were after him. he has had a longer history of weird shit being done, since 2017. was also a SOVEREIGN CITIZEN

nobody has any idea why he shot up the waffle house

just think he's crazy

@Miniature Menace Cat Ladies in a nutshell TBH

so i'll checkmark it

high school shooting, check

Odds are, he IS crazy

Not that there's any causation or anything, but a LOT of school-shooters are mentally-ill

its a pretty strong causation tbh
