    A shooter is on the run, they know who he is and don't give us a name and description?

    Anyway, Austin is San Francisco lite and welcome to Biden's America.

    Why do mass workplace and school shootings go up when Democrats are in power? We need to keep guns out of the hands of Democrats.

    Not just national news. It's the BBC and Pravda and CBS and every other news source you could name. White Anglo-Saxon policemen are killing young black males at an alarming rate. Seems to be centered around the US cities of Minneapolis and Chicago for some unexplained reason.

    I'm guessing you wrote this having no clue what the data actually says.

    this does not appear to be newsworthy

    it is not atypical.

    Wow, yeah those darn liberals who think news over mass shootings is an "liberal agenda"!

    BTW, I believe the requires 3 dead in a single incident or rampage. And that is pretty much every day, average.

    And I am an old guy, so its very sad the more and more news or discussions fail to even mention beyond initial comment the 10 (or 25 or 50 or 150) wounded seems significant, especially since the standard weapons for mass shooting are often very damaged, being incredibly disabled, in misery, or blind or brain damaged.

    Suicide from people who have lost their abilities, and hopeful futures most people damaged in shooting lose everything from losing earning ability and enormous costs for care, even when the victim has health insurance (especially living in the USA).

    Yeah, that disappearing headline thingy has been happening alot lately. Ex NFL star murders a family in S. Carolina ... lunatic in San Antonio shoots up the highway & airport. What happened to Fatahun Woldesenbet? Biden issued a stand down order til such time as US service members were vetted for extremism. Somehow this extremist got overlooked by Biden's personal pick at the pentagon? Must not have fit the "profile" they're focusing on.

    When there is a new shooting almost daily, then it is no shock that the headlines change pretty often.

    The headlines change the second the suspect is identified as anything other than white, conservative or Christian.

    I wish you people would just get on with the gun confiscation and spare us the foreplay.

    That doesn’t hold well to the data

    upload_2021-4-18_19-17-58.png

    Can you find the spikes?

    I would say school shootings went down last year because there was no school... but I’m no expert...

    Amazing how people here want to make people who have been killed about guns, Democrats, or Republicans instead of mental illness or straight out evil!

    Guns are responsible for almost all crimes committed in the US according to reliable sources. And grey hoodies too. They seem to go together somehow.

    Here's a picture of every mass shooter in 2019. A lot of them don't seem like the conservative type. Did they ever identify the Knoxville school shooter?

    Oh yay! A portion of a 4chan meme!!!

    That you felt the need to edit down an already selective image is interesting...

    I bet you think you have something there as long as you ignore the federal and law enforcement definition of “mass shooter”.

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mass-shooter-shooting-mugshots/

    Also, this has nothing to do with what I posted.
    Where did I mention conservative? What does your assumed political ideology on these individuals have to do with the OP or my remarks?

    Then it seems this one sholud stay in the headlines for a while if you are correct.
    Can you give the name for each person in that picture to verify that it is accurate?

    Thanks

    I didn't edit anything. But did you catch this gem from your fact checker?
