Mass shootings an American Problem

[Walter]

US has about 1/4 the numbers of murders compared to Brazil and has about 50% more people than Brazil.

 

[Hoid]

Yes America is slightly less violent than the third world.

But not in terms of mass shootings.

Mass shootings are kind of specific to America

MAGA

 

[Curious Cdn]

In Sao Paulo, the police kill poor street urchins just to keep their numbers down. Even American cops haven't stopped that low.




... yet.

Police shoot 1000 or so a year in America. Although some are presumably criminals

 

[Walter]

383 people were shot and killed by law enforcement the US in 2018 and only 136 in 2017.

They shot 1000 but only killed less than 400? They clearly need more target practice. Their aim is currently so bad, we should consider de-arming
them

in fact the police kill about 1000 a year in America. Who knows how many they only wound? Or miss altogether.

[TalkingTogheter]

It's a lot less violent, believe it or not.

Uruguay and Brazil worse of Western world.

Not surprising though. There seems to be more and more of you nutters every day

That is the 19th mass shooting in New Zealand.

That's over its entire history since the 1700's.

There's been over 60 of them in America?

This year?

Does this illustrate the problem America has?

 

[Hoid]

Interesting remarks from the Australian Prime Minister who seems to be avoiding the fact that one one shooter they have is Australian.

While stressing that there is no evidence of a coordinated effort or heightened threat to Australian mosques or muslims, they have stepped up police presence throughout Australia.

Seems prudent.

There really no problem here unless your at the wrong end of the gun. :lol:

No .

I see the biggest "nutter" on the forum making reference to other "nutters". How hypocritical can one get?

How has the strict gun registration and confiscation worked out for them?

 

[JLM]

Is mass murder restricted to only a few countries or ethnic/religious groups or is it a phenomenon rampant among the human race?

Rather well as compared to America

It's present in many cultures but it's rampant in America
