Nope.....you can't lie about that...Mother Jones

That's one source with a very narrow definition.

My definition is, any incident where more than one person is wounded or killed.

600+ a year. Every year.

So often they don't even make the news unless you get a big bodycount, and you show up here like they just lit the Bat Signal splattering the page with spam.

No...not a "narrow" definition, the actual definition.....you want to lie about mass public shootings because their low number each year doesn't give you the emotional black mail against uninformed people.....

Not at all.

Mass shooting - more than one person shot.
Single shooting - just one person shot.

See. Simple definition.

We have 600 Mass shootings a year.
We have 85,000 single shootings a year (combined injuries and murders).

See. That was simple.

Now, because of the dystopia created by you ammosexuals, we don't even notice the single shootings anymore, and the mass shootings only register if a lot of people get killed.

You find it difficult to understand but the orders of magnitude increase in crime rates can be directly attributed to leftisexual policies that enable criminals.

Then why does crime spike when Republicans are in charge? We hit a high under Bush the elder of 758. It spiked again under Bush -43, and spiked again when Trump took office. Could it be that when Republicans are in charge, that's also when we get recessions?

US mass shootings, 1982–2022: Data from Mother Jones’ investigation

Dating back to at least 2005, the FBI and leading criminologists essentially defined a mass shooting as a single attack in a public place in which four or more victims were killed. We adopted that baseline for fatalities when we gathered data in 2012 on three decades worth of cases.
-------

• Here is a description of the criteria we use:
  
  
  • The perpetrator took the lives of at least four people. A 2008 FBI report identifies an individual as a mass murderer—versus a spree killer or a serial killer—if he kills four or more people in a single incident (not including himself), typically in a single location. (*In 2013, the US government’s fatality baseline was revised down to three; our database reflects this change beginning from Jan. 2013, as detailed above.)
  • The killings were carried out by a lone shooter. (Except in the case of the Columbine massacre and the Westside Middle School killings, which involved two shooters.)
  • The shootings occurred in a public place. (Except in the case of a party on private property in Crandon, Wisconsin, and another in Seattle, where crowds of strangers had gathered, essentially constituting a public crowd.)
  • Crimes primarily related to gang activity or armed robbery are not included, nor are mass killings that took place in private homes (often stemming from domestic violence).
• 
  
  • Perpetrators who died or were wounded during the attack are not included in the victim tallies.
  • We included a handful of cases also known as “spree killings“—cases in which the killings occurred in more than one location, but still over a short period of time, that otherwise fit the above criteria.
  ----------------------

Our research focused on indiscriminate rampages in public places resulting in four or more victims killed by the attacker.

We exclude shootings stemming from more conventionally motivated crimes such as armed robbery or gang violence. (Or in which the perpetrators have not been identified.)


Other news outlets and researchers have since published larger tallies that include a wide range of gun crimes in which four or more people have been either wounded or killed. While those larger datasets of multiple-victim shootings are useful for studying the broader problem of gun violence, our investigation provides an in-depth look at a distinct phenomenon—from the firearms used and mental health factors to the growing copycat problem. Tracking mass shootings is complex; we believe ours is the most useful approach for studying this specific phenomenon.

Yawn, defining mass shootings down to high numbers.

we have 600 mass shootings every year.

No, they use a definition you like

Instead of a common sense one of any incident that causes more than one death or injury.

A lone nut walking into a public space to commit murder is a different crime with different solutions from gang members shooting at each other over drugs, girlfriends and social media insults......you doofus.

The FBI that has a vested interest in defining crime down and under-reporting it?

Right... the later scenario doesn't involve white people.. and we know it only counts when white people die.

Why does crime spike under lawless leftist policies of defund the police, release career criminals from jail and turn your misfit heroes onto the public?

No one defunded the police. In fact, Chicago increased police spending.

Crime spiked in 2020 because thanks to Trump Plague, you had a lot of people locked in their homes with people they could barely stand to live with when they were working most of the time. Most murders are domestic violence, not gang crime.

This is a syndrome that afflicts the leftist mind. "No one defended the police" and the expected. "I blame Trump".


Here are just two examples which contradict your loopy conspiracy theories. The most difficult aspect in doing with goofy leftists is their inability to reconcile a really based worldview.

I'm afraid it's childish and disingenuous for leftists to continually screech out their "I blame Trump" mantra as they retreat into a safe-space but not taking responsibility for the results of your actions is pretty typical for the leftist addled.

I went to high school with a girl who moved to Texas and from what we could see and what we knew, seemed she had a wonderful life and family. The front door video camera caught it on tape. Her son beat her to death. I search to see what ended up happening but it's impossible to find anything. But our entire class knows about it.

I said back then it's because these families are all cooped up in the house together. Mom's being a bitch. Dad's being a dick. Yelling all the time.

A lot of divorce happened during covid too.

But also a lot of people got pregnant during covid too.

Except nationally, police spending increased...

Defunded means exactly that, you stop funding police. We didn't do that. We increased funding to the police while social services (which do far more to prevent crime) are being slashed.

Except Lightfoot increased funding to the police. She did this despite massively decreased revenues due to TRUMP PLAGUE.
