There were 90 mass shootings in the US in that 15 year period. 1 in Norway. Applying the Norwegian population over American population multiplied by the American mass shootings gives an expected 1.41 events in Norway over the 15 year period. The numbers in the second study have always been for the 1998 to 2012 period.
Americans seemingly can do math better than some others. Stay away if it suits you, for whatever reason. Too much traffic as it is. Last edited by Rogerbh; January 18th, 2019 at 07:35 AM.. |

Regarding another part of this subject, the idiots who want to be the leading Mass Shooting killer, that idiot at Sandy Hook was obsessed with the number of people killed at such events and he picked 6 year olds - I would think because 6 year olds couldn't defend themselves. That Norway idiot picked that island for the final part of his attack because there was only one security officer and limited options to run away from the shooter. The Las Vegas shooter picked a crowded event with 7,000+ people in a confined area to spray fire in order to be the leading mass killer. He probably went to his death believing he had killed more than the Norway shooter. I am sure and probably you are sure too that somewhere in the world, someone is planning an event that will beat the 68 killed in Norway and become in their warped mind - the winner. |

I noticed these articles today. A Brit who had a "home made gun" site - https://thehomegunsmith.com/index.shtml He seemingly had the same thoughts that extremists do. What I found interesting is that the British authorities visited 50 or so people who downloaded stuff from his site.
If and when they outlaw porn in the UK, I guess they will be visiting those of you who download stuff from this site. http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2010/tle551-20100103-03.html Then you too will have the pleasure of Law Enforcement going through the contents of your house. *a story from one of the fifty - http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2010/tle579-20100718-07.html Last edited by Rogerbh; January 19th, 2019 at 10:18 PM.. |

I am jumping in mid-talk, but what about armed murders in general? Spousal killings with firearms, etc? That is also part of the argument, not just mass killings. Mass killings will more closely reflect a mental illness profile, so you might expect closer to the population average for industrialised countries, but firearm murders and attempted murders is a more valid comparison, because then you are comparing countries with fewer firearms and different licensing arrangements - that is, actually looking at the effetc of having the bloody things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._homicide_rate
I have made this observation before, the US is just north of a number of narco states which have huge murder rates. Gangs and drugs are the main drivers of these crime rates and they aid in making our Black and Hispanic minority populations have crime rates up to 6 times of the average. Any country placed in our geographical position with our mix of races would have similar crime rates. Note most of our murders are in our large cities and 80%+ of the victims in large cities have criminal records. I am an Asian American. If you look at crime rates of Asian Americans (leaving out those Samoan and Tongan populations) our crime rate would be like most European crime rates. White American stats are mixed with Hispanic American stats or otherwise I would think that they would also not be much different from European totals. Hell, even now our murder rates are half of Russia's. You may think that the US is a dangerous place to be and if you lived or visited in the Black or Hispanic parts of the US, you'd be right, but the bulk of the US is as safe as any place in the world. There is a reason why the Reverend Jesse Jackson said he was ashamed that he felt a sense of relief when he sees that it is a white man walking rapidly behind him rather than a black man. |

Apparently a Hispanic neighborhood. 5 perps targeted someone for money, jewels, unknowns. Attack late at night, target had an AK47. 3 perps dead, 2 wounded - they shot at target, but didn't hit. Appears perps were Hispanic based on the crying women in the video. https://abc13.com/5-shot-and-3-dead-...uston/5097015/
This will count as White on White crime. |
