Well sir, with numbers like that to reassure and inform us, why would anyone be dismayed at the fact of 20 some killed by a pantywaist?
Your statistic is of "violent crime." Tell me which mass slaughters by US peoples against other US peoples have been perpetrated without firearms? There are some, McVeigh and that ass in SoCal with the Buick, probably an accident. Such attacks are a very small subset of "violent crime."
I believe the topic is the mass slaughter of the week. |
In the data, I believe 'slaughter' is not addressed as a category but perhaps 'violent' encompasses it? What do you think?
Guilty! I can't help myself -- I am burdened with requiring facts and from them, derive a rational opinion. I recognize it prevents me from intuitively reaching for the stars, unbound by reason, logic or even facts. Here I plod in Real World. Where my opinion must adequately explain facts, not vice versa.
I haven't found comparative mass slaughter data. Maybe we can imagine what it should be and go from there.
