Again this comes down to defining what you consider to be a mass shooting and why you are only calculating that specific crime and not all other crimes of violence against humans.
If we can agree a mass shooting is 5 or more dead in a single shooting event in a single location then there were 21 in the US in 2023. 2 involved were transgender identifying humans.
So how do we assess this information? Obviously there are more transgender identifying humans, so there should be an increase in crimes involving them. 2 out of 21 is a low percentage when evaluating only those numbers, but its a high percentage when calculating it against transgender to non-transgender of the entire US population.
But why aren't transgender identifying humans measurably committing more domestic violence events, child abuse, road rage etc.? How are the drugs or whatever causing a focus specifically on guns, and only guns in areas of congregating humans?
Not sure that’s correct unless you’re especially talented at playing the piano….
Colorado Springs shooter: nonbinary
Nashville school shooter: trans
Aberdeen shooter: trans
Denver school shooter: trans
Iowa school shooter: trans/genderfluid
Lakewood Church shooter: trans
But more importantly, I don’t subscribe to that definition. The subway shooting in New York, the other day, involved one death and five injuries. If all of those people had been killed, it would’ve been determined to be a mass shooting. But I don’t put that in the same category. Those people knew each or had a fight and likely more than one were carrying weapons. It will be hard to find information on this since it’s likely they were a class of people who are protected by the media.
The mass shooting we’re talking is different. These are random mass shootings in a location where all the targets are not personally known. This is the type that garners attention and for good reason.
The reality is when you narrow it down to that group, and the question is: are trannies over represented? Certainly seems so. I don’t get paid to be a criminologist and I’m not investing hours to put a specific number on what I’m sure I’m more right than wrong.
And while I know you’re fond of ignoring main stream news, imagine for a moment if that list above all wore MAGA hats…..
