so you were saying, Donald?
Partisan hacks being partisan hacks, who'd a thunk. Try using the same numbers and same time frame used in the speech, then prove it wrong. WAPO can't do that because he was using their numbers. I don't like dump one bit, I like regressive liars even less.
As usual -- the fighting between USMB gangs begins without ANY attention on what a Twitter "fact" actually means. OR if it real. OR if there aren't MORE important facts like..

SOOOO.. What do you conclude? Wanna count deaths from Animals? Heart Attacks? How come if Obama's "score" is 62 -- That there have been 68 already this year and it's only fucking July?
And that was just the FIRST link I pulled up to try and understand this Twit nonsense. Wanna bet the numbers are fudged in some half lying way? Jillian HATES liars. Would she get appalled if won the bet?
From what I understand, WAPO use numbers from Jul 2015 to Jul 2016 compared to the same period a year earlier. So to relevant you'd have to use the same period.
Then -- those partial year tallies are not as statistically valid as "averages" over longer periods of time. That's just the reality of statistics.
Just as comparing your risk of dying from lightning to being killed by a terrorist is a stupid and meaningless comparison -- a lot of nuance is missed by tossing THESE numbers around.
What matters is the motivation and inspiration for the killings. Like the guy running out into the street after Baltimore and shooting a police officer sitting in his car at a traffic light. THAT is the inspired killing that shouldn't be happening.
