What they don't say in that statistic is "mass shooting" includes all of the drive bys and street corner shootouts among drug gangs. So what? That's not the bulk of them. https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/r.../mass-shooting It’s not? Long Beach has major gang problems, East Palo Alto, like wise. Most of those were gang shootings on the first page. |

The WaPo says 168 since 1966 (the Texas clock tower). https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...=.f41549c95252 But they also say "It does not include shootings tied to gang disputes or robberies that went awry, and it does not include domestic shootings that took place exclusively in private homes." When I looked at BAOs list there certainly seemed to be a lot of targeted shootings if you actually followed the links and looked into the story. |
