It's a report of attacks, not shootings, and it appears to be done with an eye on examining attacks and attackers with the purpose of protecting the president and others.
This isn't intended as an intensive study.
Surprised it's not more >

It is more than that, but there is a massive cover-up and the lame-stream media is in on it! >

I love the "lame-stream" media term. It completely characterizes the right. Completely unoriginal and uncreative, and hypocritical at the same time. They love to gloat about how poor the ratings on CNN and MSNBC are, and how Fox News is the #1 watched station. How can CNN + left wing media by "mainstream" if they have more viewers... >

Kinda like the most well documented liar in human history coining the phrase "fake news" >


coining the phrase

No, but he appropriated it. >

Oh heres an important distinction for sure. >

Surely it's a coincidence that republicans and their supporters regularly traffic in conspiracy theories and hateful ideologies... >

Not a coincidence.....it's a feature (and their only identity). >

The cruelty is the point. >

...I kind of find it hard to believe that 3/4 of mass attacks are NOT driven by hateful ideologies.
They say a personal grievance is the number one cause, but it seems difficult to imagine a personal grievance elevating to a mass attack without an underlying ideology that is hateful or tolerates hate. >

That seems shockingly low.

The report details 173 attacks that hurt three or more people in public spaces, including churches and schools, from 2016 to 2020.
a personal grievance of some sort was the single most common motive

The number of attacks studied seems low as well. 3 weeks into 2023, and America has already had 39 mass shootings. Looking at 173 over the course of 4 years is odd. There were over 600 mass shootings in 2020 alone
