PHATJ wrote:Guys, why is it that you are more likely to dismiss something like this based on discrepancies in the definition of “mass shooter” (specifically when the pic itself defines that term as someone who kills four or more people in one instance), than you are to condemn a media that pushes a narrative that is often not backed by data?

All respect man but it seems unbelievable that this doesn't come off as disingenuous to you

Killing is killing, isn’t it? Gun violence is gun violence, right? Don’t we care as much about gang members murdering people as we do about non-gang members? Or are murdered inner city youth disposable and people killed in WalMart or churches aren’t? That seems racist to me. And isn’t it racist of you to assume that only minorities can be members of gangs? I thought categorizing people like that was only something a racist would do?

I see you neither know what "etiology" means nor did you bother reading the Snopes article.

Incorrect on both counts. I even quoted the snopes article.

Mickey wrote:Oh cool, so you read the article about how this specific use of a broad definition may be both factually correct and still a bad-faith, right-wing conflation, yet are still dumb enough to come in here and try to make an almost identical conflation.
