The American responses are shocking, no wonder they have a mass shooting near enough every day
The guy was trying to break in, having smashed a window and was working and lock from the inside. He wasn't just drunkenly banging on the door.
😭 Some of us are trying. None of our political parties care enough yet. I don't know how to make them care.
Keep trying, it's good to be reminded that there are people like yourself who don't think this should be normal
Arson (50% jk)
They tried that already, during the George Floyd riots. It just further emboldened each side.
What's it like revolving your life around propaganda?
TIL facts are now considered propaganda
Two things. Site your 'facts'. I'm willing to bet your sources are highly biased.
Also here's the definition for propaganda.
ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.
You weren't aware of that little fact?
Sorry, I was wrong. It's a bit under 2 mass shootings a day.
List of all mass shootings: https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/
They define a mass shooting as a shooting incident where 4 or more people, excluding the shooter, are shot. They have 498 mass shootings recorded so far this year.
We are currently on day 255 of the year.
498/255 = 1.95
Or are those facts too biased for you?
When you use a website that has a purpose of further a narrative, yes that's absolutely biased. That's like people using NRA stats to argue in favor of guns. So until you can use actual data without spin, your arguments are irrelevant. Your website gets its data from somewhere, what's the source and do the numbers still line up to your claim?
