My favorite:
63. | 4/21/2014 | Griffith | IN | St. Mary Catholic School | K-12 |
They're including things that no rational person would call a "school shooting" to drum up hysteria.
I've spot checked a few and some do appear to be actual school shootings but some are quite dubious....like this one:
63. 4/21/2014 Griffith IN St. Mary Catholic School K-12
The reality is some guy shot his ex wife in a school parking lot after school hours.

I'm sure the list is littered with things like this. But, as the general public consists largely of low information morons, Moms/Everytown are trying get them to believe there have been 74 Sandy Hooks, and a large segment of the population will take it at face value.
video games and a culture of violence. It has nothing to do with antis...
This recent rash of shootings is a direct result of the media elevating these losers onto a platform of infamy. One of the victims families should sue the media outlets for inciting murder.
so that DEA agent who shot himself in the leg was a school shootings?According to the bottom of the page this is the criteria for what they consider a "school shooting" which seems to increase the #'s in their favor.
"Incidents were classified as school shootings when a firearm was discharged inside a school building or on school or campus grounds, as documented in publicly reported news accounts."

The sad part is that all the polls, news coverage, social media and the like just fuel more of these shootings. In these shit stains' mind's, they see that they are the center of national attention every time they commit a shooting. The attention they receive just makes more f**ked up mental cases want to hurt people.
Fox keeps mentioning the number 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook. Over inflated?

One word: video games and a culture of violence. It has nothing to do with antis. Ok, that is not really a word...
They know they will get more clicks spreading bigoted lies even if they "retract" on page 12...CNN will be chastised and fall in line.

From 2003 to 2012, more than 47,000 people, many of them children, were hit and killed while walking outdoors. An estimated 676,000 were injured. Meanwhile, the number of adults who said they walked for transportation grew 6 percent from 2005 to 2010.
Alissa Walker, of Gizmodo, writes in a recent article that our streets “are enabling our vehicles to become death machines.”
[FONT=baskerville_fs_regularregular]By 1999, there had already been a series of school shootings across the United States. But Eric wasn’t interested in those. They were small-time jobs, amateur hour. Eric was far more interested in Timothy McVeigh’s [/FONT]bombing[FONT=baskerville_fs_regularregular] of the Oklahoma City federal building, which killed 168 and injured 600. Eric wanted to top that. But he didn’t just want to top the body count, he wanted to top the notoriety, the fame, the horror. He wanted to terrorize people and he understood that his best weapon was not the guns he secretly purchased or the bombs he built in his basement — it was television. He would not kill jocks or preps, he would kill indiscriminately, because that’s what caused the most fear and got the most attention. He wouldn’t just blow up the school, but he’d blow up the parking lot, the police cars and the firefighters and the journalists who rushed to the scene. He would, quite literally, go out with a bang, the shockwaves of which, carried by mass media and the internet, would reverberate through the world for decades.

Maybe not the best place to drop this, but didn't think it deserves its own thread. Next time some anti says "if it saves just one life"... point them at this:
