Cont: Today's Mass Shooting (part 3)

Hercules56 said:
If we go by the following info, there is NOT a mass shooting in the USA every day. Only several a month.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States

This info also suggests that during the 90s and early 2000s, there were only several mass shootings a year. Some years only say seven

Notice how as we go back in time, shooting events where 3+ people are shot in poor urban areas are not even mentioned.

Coincidence? Not likely.

Someone figured out that if we include all the crime and gang related events, where targets are usually not random, the event is not planned and mental illness or ideological agenda is not at play, the number of mass shootings goes up dramatically, which is great for a certain political agenda and narrative.

Only problem is....it makes the problem look like its mostly non-white, urban and crime related.

Any chance you will answer the question I asked you?
 
That's not the FBI definition.
It's an event in which one or more individuals are “actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. Implicit in this definition is the shooter’s use of a firearm.”
The FBI has not set a minimum number of casualties to qualify an event as a mass shooting, but U.S. statute (the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012) defines a “mass killing” as “3 or more killings in a single incident.”

I'm not a fan of that definition because it suggests that if 25 people are shot but only two are killed, it's not a major event of any concern.

I prefer the definition of four or more people shot, and shooter has a political agenda his targets were random and the event was planned.

They don't have a definition for a mass shooting.

Sure they do:

"For the purposes of tracking crime data, the FBI defines a "mass shooting" as any incident in which at least four people are murdered with a gun. This survey adopts this definition of a mass shooting, making it a representative sample of shootings in which at least four people were murdered with a gun. The survey findings indicate that mass shootings compose a small share of the total number of U.S. firearm homicides, constituting less than one percent of gun murders recorded by the FBI in 2010. The survey also found that assault weapons or high-capacity magazines were used in at least 13 (23 percent) of the incidents."

Splitting hairs.
 
just to point out convoluted this is about expanding the definition of mass shooting to include way more so they are reported on every day, while then turning around suppressing basically all of those stories they artificially created when they expanded the definition in a plan to only report on the white racist lunatic shooters

That's not true,and I suspect tht know that full well.
The actual definition is an event in which one or more individuals are “actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area". There no set minimum number of casualties to qualify an event as a mass shooting.
The Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012 defines a “mass killing” as “3 or more killings in a single incident”.
