DonS 3,050 Posted January 23, 2020 So this just happened a block and a half away from my office: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/police-responding-to-shooting-near-4th-avenue-and-pine-street-reports-of-multiple-victims/ (use private mode to get around paywall) The headline in the uber liberal ST includes the phrase "mass shooting": 1 dead and 7 injured, including 9-year-old boy, in mass shooting on sidewalk in downtown Seattle I'm pretty certain someone here stated the mass shooting criteria was 4 people dead. Very confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,050 Posted January 23, 2020 Oh, and the "gang unit" was on the scene, so there goes that 2A argument. The location is the most sketchy McDonald's in the world. Always reminds me of Obi Wan's words of wisdom: Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very confused. If you know, were all the injured shot? If it's seven shot and 1 DOA, I'd say it's a mass shooting. If the injuries are from other things no.

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted January 23, 2020 Depends. What is the race of the shooter? If white, mass shooting. If Muslim, terrorism. If black, gangland crossfire. HTH 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5-Points 2,695 Posted January 23, 2020 Cyclone's criteria are 4 shot to qualify as a mass shooting. The fact that you only have 1 fatality just means the shooter was a terrible shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikings4ever 496 Posted January 23, 2020 Mass shooting = 4 people shot (300+ a year, mostly gang violence) Mass killing = 4 people killed (Only like 4 a year) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,285 Posted January 23, 2020 There isn't a true definition... Some want four people killed, some want four people just shot, some count gang violence, others don't... A "mass shooting" is whatever you want it to be to fit your agenda... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was an argument an then they pulled the guns out, turned their guns sideways, pointed them in the general direction while looking away and running away....if you know what I mean...and I think you do.

Only all the time....oh and it's also constantly pumped out as a national narrative. But no..that's not a thing thats constantly said. Again it's like I said. If you are somewhere in public and there is a former trained police or military person when the shooting happens? You have a chance because they will probably step in... you who goes to the gun range once a month? You're not stepping in to stop a mass shooting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if it's a national narrative you'll be able to easily provide some links. I won't hold my breath though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,401 Posted January 23, 2020 I'm willing to bet that if the shooter had been arrested prior for carrying without a license the nutjobs in that focked up liberal city would have cut them loose with a summons. Why not carry illegally in these areas? Nothing happens when you get caught. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
