At least 20 injured, multiple dead from shooting at Alabama birthday party, reports say

Yes, I've been counting the crickets.

 

For the life of me I don't know why anyone would want government to be their deity, and for it to have even more power than it deserves. Boggles the mind.

 

That's because if we proceeded to discuss the groups of men that would be RACIST.

 

From the national reporting that I have heard, on this story, with much more, no doubt, to follow-- your two predictions turned out to be totally wrong.

Well, what do you know-- is this leading either of you to re-examine the assumptions, which had led to your quite erroneous expectations?

 

So you don't believe me, you don't believe all the studies, you don't believe the data. But you do believe your gut instinct. Noted.

 

Alabama mass shooting: What to know about the 4 victims - ABC News (go.com)

Simply heartbreaking. My grandson, a star quarterback, will be attending college this coming fall on a football scholarship. He shares the same dream as Phil. To get to the NFL, not impossible if one has the talent and the work ethic. May this young man RIP. Such a senseless tragedy. Btw, nothing on the shooter yet that I've been able to find. Anyone?

 

Yea, white people seem to have a thing about offing themselves while taking a few innocent people with them. It's horrible.

With that said, once again you focus on the very few instances of mass shootings instead of the vast majority of murder. A simple Wikipedia look will show you:

Homicide

According to the FBI 2019 Uniform Crime Report, African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 41.1%, and "Other" 3% in cases where the race was known. Including homicide offenders where the race was unknown, African-Americans accounted for 39.6% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 29.1%, "Other" 2.1%, and "Unknown" 29.3%[49]

Among homicide victims in 2019 where the race was known, 54.7% were black or African-American, 42.3% were white, and 3.1% were of other races. Including homicide victims in 2019 where the race was unknown, 53.7% were black or African-American, 41.6% were white, 3% were of other races, and 1.7% were of unknown races.[50][51]

The per-capita offending rate for African-Americans was roughly eight times higher than that of whites, and their victim rate was similar. About half of homicides are known to be single-offender/single-victim, and most of those were intraracial; in those where the perpetrator's and victim's races were known, 81% of white victims were killed by whites and 91% of black or African-American victims were killed by blacks or African-Americans.[52]

If you don't care to look at the data, there isn't much hope for a solution.

 

This incident was uncalled for

 

Are we gonna keep up posting page after page of irrelevant ant crap or is this Thread still about the latest mass slaughter of kids?

 

Before we got off track, we were discussing WHO committed the mass slaughter. Any guesses?

 

No....I'll wait until official sources reveal who the killer was and what weapon/s they used.

But...it now seems beyond doubt that guns are the cause of death of most kids in the USA.

Why the upsurge? Maybe because there has been an upsurge in the number of guns in the place. Maybe.

But, 'you' guys just cannot keep ignoring it, or excusing it, or blaming every thing other than.......weapons designed to kill en masse.

 

still sticking with that blatantly erroneous claim? it's bad enough that you are complaining about a country that you are not a citizen of-but what makes it worse is that your complaints are completely devoid of facts

 

Maybe it's an upsurge in suicides since they are a major part of that number. But you won't believe that it's not the gun's fault anyway.

 

Many, many disputes among some folks seem to be settled with guns these days. Perhaps you’d fly up here and introduce them to Judge Judy so those disputes can be settled more amicably. The bigger problem here is overdose deaths coming from drugs out of Mexico. If only we had a very deep and very wide moat around our country like you do.

 

Nothing erroneous in what I posted Matey. I'll repost it for you.

 

Weird. The two graphs seem to disagree with each other.

 

thoughts and prayers from the right?

 

ending the war on drugs, thus stopping funding gangs would be a good start

 

There is no doubt the USA is winning.

 

How about putting them in jail?

 

how is that working out, always a new one to replace the old, just like with alcohol prohibition

 

Ummm, no…thats the point…..

 

But again, with all due respect, isn't the prevalence of guns, that are easy to obtain illegally because there ar so many, part of the problem here ?

 

I very clearly claimed (in the post you just cited) that it it “the prevalence of guns because of lax laws”. Meaning that we create more firearms because their are no limits on their creation!!!!!

Holy crap man, read whats posted and quite trying to create straw men

 

I see it reported in pretty much every outlet.
