I dunno what kind of math games theyre playing with this “mass killing” definition lately
If they didn’t broaden the definition they wouldn’t be able to include knife attacks in their article.
They aren’t attempting to hide the level of Gun Violence, they’re trying to get clicks by re-spinning the data.
Here is a good source I frequent to get a better idea of whats happening day to day.
GVA is decent but a lot of people don’t look past the number totals to try and understand the problem(s). The majority of the incidents recorded there look a lot like this one.
The salient details are depressingly familiar
Very Late at Night / Early in the Morning
Socioeconomically disadvantaged participants
Alcohol / Drugs involved
Illegally possessed Firearms
You can just walk down the list of incidents and pick them out over and over and over.
