 |
|
Truth: 2015 has only seen 4 cases that legally define as mass shooting. So how did they get 353? By ignoring the legal definition that the FBI uses, and making up their own. The legal definition of a mass shooting is "a public shooting where 4 or more people were killed".
These four cases are the only actual mass shootings in 2015:

Clearly you seem to only include ones that are plastered all over TV and ignore the rest.

You mean I included all mass shootings by the definition recognized by the government?
Quite literally, most people don't realize the left media is lying to them.

All media is lies, you just decided who to trust, your mistake is choosing anybody.

Nope, PBS, the only unbiased news outlet.

I just sent PBS an email telling them to take this article down!
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2015-the-year-of-mass-shootings/
For one, they are citing the anti-gun lobbying website as source. PBS is required by law to be unbiased, if they want mass shooting statistics, they are supposed to use fbi.gov as their source.
Secondly, their math is wrong!
| Quote: |
According to the Tracker’s data, which defines a mass shooting as an incident in which at least four people are killed, there were 372 mass shootings in the U.S. in 2015, killing 475 and wounding 1,870.
|
How can there be 475 deaths from 372 mass shootings if a mass shooting is defined as a shooting which atleast four people are killed?
Can't wait until PBS responds to my email!

Clifford. There is no "legal definition" for the term "mass shooting". The FBI uses the same definition for mass murder.
Stop being an idiot.

| Holy hell, this might be one of the greatest threads in a long time. First Clifford says he only trusts PBS, the unbiased news source, and a week later they publish an article with contradictory views as him, and no one would have even known, but he brought it to our attention. Top kek.

Only the US matters, all other countries are full of communist terrorists.

Four is still a lot of mass shootings if you want to try to bend the data to support your cause. I mean just look at the fucking places that were targeted...
