Yeah Americans need to get used to School shootings so you dont even notice them anymore and dont have too fix them. Down here in NZ we got used to the daily school shootings years ago and no longer notice them anymore. I think thats right... lemme check my notes a moment...... oh wait, WE DONT HAVE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS! I think the only 2 places where Children die in school is the USA......and Gaza. Wonder why that is hmm.... its a mystery.
Depending on who's counting and what criteria they use, yep. If you see articles about the frequency of school shootings, this is the kind of thing that's maybe worth taking exact numbers with a grain of salt. There was one I remember seeing a couple years ago where a sizeable amount of the instances were things like a isolated suicides or homicides that just happened to take place on school property after hours (like parking lots or athletic fields in the middle of the night). And, these are /1
awful things to have happened, but when people are talking about the frequency of school shootings and how they need to be prevented... these kinds of things are not what we're talking about. It just adds to the noise with numbers that, while technically true, are still extremely deceptive and actively impedes anyone genuinely trying to get accurate facts. Sigh. Rant over, bad data and misleading reporting just REALLY grind my gears. 2/2
It was singular. we need another example of a Trump ally being shot while giving a speech at an educational institution to make it plural. At the moment, it's just a good start.
Oh I believe it’s terrible, but could get even worse! This could just be the start to a series of high profile political assassin nations like in the 1960s but with retribution killings against uninvolved civilians.
"assassination" is a funny way of saying "comedic irony". He was a terrible person who was killed while doing terrible things. Get off your high horse, the air is pretty thin up there.
Right, and I’m sure you fully honored them because of your performative superiority right? Definitely didn’t just throw them up as a prop against me right? I condemn all forms of political violence because I’m not a moron and I know what happens when this is normalized

It seems like you think you're making a point here.
Niagaran
What point exactly do you thing they're -not- making here?
I can't speak for blue states but most of the world doesn't have school shootings with any frequency, even the "scary brown" countries.
wandermanspacebot
Not sure why you're calling them scary and brown.

Correction I just checked with the IDF and the correct terminology is enemy youth battalion training centers. Totally a legit military target.
bigk001
& I heard the Gaza part on the news, but US Republicans say the news is 'fake news', so I guess not in Gaza?

Aw man there's a ton of countries with school violence and kidnapping. Ever had of Boko Haram?

What school do his kids go to? I assume shootings aren’t a fact of their lives
DVSBSTrD
They go to private school. That means shootings are still a fact of life, but they don't tell anyone.
bigk001
i don't care enough to google but home schooled is a safe bet

Usa 🇺🇸 is #1 in the world for school shootings , just another day in this wonderful country
PumpkinDriver5
Yeah but shootings are supposed to effect “those people” not important rich people.

Huh, I guess this does technically fall under a school shooting doesn't it.

Yes, but the fact is he was a guest speaker giving a talk at the collage.
So it does meet some of the standards for a traditional school shooting.

We need to get Trump back to school... Y'know, just to speak to the youth...

If you are talking to JD Vance, you might want to send it to the White House.

Yes, we are aware. That's why people are celebrating.

No shit. I bought a bottle of scotch after work to celebrate.

In a few days there will be another shooting to talk about and we'll have moved on from this one. Of course it has to be today

The guy who said gun deaths are worth it for the US's gun fetish died today to a gun, yes.

To all the people replying, think long and hard on whether it is a good thing to have political-motivated assassinations happening
