it makes the graphs pretty useless
Mass shootings at schools, malls, churches, etc are sensational as F but still an insignificant risk to the population, statistic-wise

You’re far more likely to die to a mugger than a mass shooter

Yea and mainstream media sensationalizing the fuck out of police brutality and never once talking about, fucking at ALL, hero cops giving their lives in the line of protecting others, has completely twisted the Dem sheep’s opinions of police officers

People are so easy to manipulate

Shooting up the most innocents has its validity as a statistic.

Especially in the eyes of the normal voter.

The body count is especially important to future wanna be mass murderers, which is why news shouldn’t saturate their information, manifestos and body counts. Make people who are interested have to dig for it. Most won’t care to

Mass shootings that are sensationalized to hell and back by the media makes us think there’s one around every corner, but like I said, they are a tiny insignificant % of gun murders

Gun murders are often conflated with gun deaths also. Wascally wabbits.

was watching some intellectual on youtube explain it as a meme in the richard dawkins sense of the word and that until we find a way to make it not look "cool" to those who feel bullied and thrown away from society there's no way to fix it. if you open up 4chan /pol/ right now there is probably a hundred posts praising the Dylan Roofs and others. they even have a ranking system of shooters by "high score" in how many kills they got. the more brutal and racially/religiously bent the killings the more praise and memes you get created with your image. the christchurch guy has like hundreds of images of him portrayed as a saint fighting a relgious battle because he targeted a muslim mosaic

Yep. I hate the idea of Big Brother but I’ve seen much too strong of a correlation between a fascination of past mass murders from future ones to where I am completely for anyone who displays more than a passing interest in mass murders to be flagged as fuck in every FBI and DHS database we have. Survey them, don’t sell them a gun, etc

It won’t take long to bust them for something as most mass murderers are complete morons
