Mass Shootings in America Thread

I like how we’re at the point where no one is surprised anymore that things like this happen.

Seemed you woke up in another mood. Maybe just rant again how there's really less school shootings again as per your MO, or something.

This is all you do now. "You angry" and "you in a mood".

But hey, you do you.

Do you also like how it's because these things get massive media coverage now?

WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!!

I'm curious if the shooter turns out to be left leaning what the reaction will be. We all know if he did this wearing a Trump t-shirt they'd all pounce and blame Trump. So I wonder if they will do the same if it's someone from the other side.

9 dead now. Also apparently more than one explosive device was found and there is potentially a second suspect.

Weapons used were apparently a sawed off shotgun and pistol.

So if they didn’t get coverage it would somehow negate it as one less instance of yet another loss of life in an epidemic of more shootings? Ok flawless logic

A lesson we should all follow

I never said it would negate it. I'm explaining to you why people are not surprised.

Shows how messed up some of the laws for guns in Chicago are. Apparently at one point you couldn't get a handgun without range training. Then they..banned gun ranges lol. But they got sued and over turned, but still made it hard for someone to be able to build a range.

And yep, the city has been run by democrats for DECADES.

We need another party that actually cares about black people and other minorities. Democrats are just giant piles of shit. Republicunts are just more open about their bigotry so I don't see them ever helping minorities.

Typical Democratic Cracker on black people: "OMG! Just throw money at them. Those poor poor savages. Look at me, I'm a good person because I gave them money. See? Look at me. Man, I'm such a good good gracious whitey. Oh, and I feel guilty for being white! Sorry black people for slavery! Ouuuur baaad!"

Which is why black unemployment is at a record low under a Republican president...weird.

Oh, and what did our Democratic president who is pretending to be a Republican do to lower black unemployment? Which of his policies directly decreased black unemployment and is that the U3 statistic or the U6 statistic?

And can you give me the raw estimate on the number of working-age black Americans who are actually employed vs. who are not and then compare that against the white population so I have a control?

Because if you'd like to give Trump credit for that, make sure you have the factual backing to do so.

Hint: I criticized Obama supporters, on this very forum, who inappropriately gave him credit for damn near everything for the economy. If you'd like to support your position, do so. But make sure you have facts and not just silly partisan talking points.

I see you don't have the ability to go to Google. Damn Net Neutrality repeal. So here you go. And here you go. Black employment hit a record high in February with 19,087,000 employed. You can read more about it here.

And a reason that Trump gets credit is (1) Trump has canceled more than 800 regulations that were proposed under former president Obama's presidency, (2) a report from the Wall Street Journal asked economists spread across academia and the business world and takeaways were: Trump was somewhat or strongly positive for job creation, gross domestic product growth, and the rising stock market, that Trump's decision to cut regulations and taxes were a major factor, and that Trump scores higher than Obama because business confidence is higher and business investments are increasing under Trump.

How dare you use FACT to point out the Fallacy of their LEFTIST FASCISM!

It's not my job to prove your points you're trying to make.

No, no, don't finish that sentence. Trump doesn't get credit for that. Only a complete moron would think Trump gets credit for it.

Look at the chart of your own citation:

If you knew anything at all about statistics, you'd need to point to something, anything, on the graph that showed that a direct policy from Trump resulted in a statistically significant change in the variable we are observing: Black Unemployment.

So, please, point to a time on that graph where one of Trump's policies had a statistically significant influence on the variable in question? I'm ready. My body is ready. My butthole is ready.

I'll even make it EASIER on you to prove your point. You can even demonstrate statistical significance in an isolated or relative data set. Stick with just the last 12 years on that graph. Just the last 12. Then demonstrate, with actual math, that a policy of Trump's had a statistically significant difference on black unemployment.

Let me give you an example, the New Deal can clearly be seen as having caused a statistically significant impact on unemployment once it went into place. You don't even need statistical power tests to determine if that is correct because the impact was so strong, it can be seen on a simple graph:

But it is debatable how strong the New Deal influenced economic improvement. The concept of the New Deal lowering unemployment is not controversial among economists. It demonstrably worked and it is part of why we had a Roosevelt Dynasty.

They probably can do "something".

I mean, the TSA was something.

That's the trouble with this country.. On one side, are people with unrealistic expectations and unfeasible solutions. On the other side, are people who create "solutions" like the minimum wage, barely trained workers of the TSA.

There's a happy medium where you do something that works, and spend money on it, but there just isn't any support for pragmatism, and the will to invest in it..
