Darmik 03/01/18 4:35:13 PM #16:	Sephiroth1288 posted... There are some weird ass mental gymnastics in that article. They're measuring 'frequency of mass shootings' by solely looking at the death toll. Norway's single mass shooting shot them up to the top of the list. The CPRC has also collected data on the worst mass public shootings, those cases where at least 15 people were killed in the attack. There were 16 cases where at least 15 people were killed. Out of those cases, four were in the United States, two in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. But the U.S. has a population four times greater than Germanys and five times the U.K.s, so on a per-capita basis the U.S. ranks low in comparison actually, those two countries would have had a frequency of attacks 1.96 (Germany) and 2.46 (UK) times higher. Small countries such as Norway, Israel and Australia may have only one major attack each, one-fourth of what the U.S. has suffered, but the US population is vastly greater. If they suffered attacks at a rate adjusted for their population, Norway, Israel and Australia would have had attacks that were respectively 16, 11, and 3 times greater than the US. Wtf is this shit? On top of this the article is sadly dated; On March 22nd, 2016, Belgium had a bombing attacks at an airport and subway that killed 31 people and wounded 180. That is worse than any mass public shooting in the US in terms of fatalities and woundings.A --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:897004063] in What is th...
