Am I missing something?
Seems like for a few years there we were seeing about one mass shooting every week. What happened?

Obama left office.
1 Step2TheJep 2017-09-09
You think Obama dun Sandy Hook?
1 Becoming_God_Sized 2017-09-09
Obama didn't "dun" anything, he just let them happen.
1 Step2TheJep 2017-09-09
Obama is a puppet, you silly bugger. TV politics is just for show.
1 Becoming_God_Sized 2017-09-09
What does that have to do with what I said?
1 kylenigga 2017-09-09
The go to. Waaaaaat?
1 BernieBalloonHair 2017-09-09
So the mass shooters hit Obama up before hand and he did nothing?

You think the Bush's and Clinton's are clean?
1 M_E_T_H_O_D_MAN 2017-09-09
they have bigger and better things they're working on, take a look at the weather and natural disasters
1 dystopian_love 2017-09-09
I'm thinking they have one of those spinning prize wheels from the carnival. Trump spun it recently and got "natural disaster: hurricane"
1 jaydwalk 2017-09-09
Maybe they are playing the Illuminati card game!!
1 TheTurtleTamer 2017-09-09
What do you think they're trying to achieve with these artificial disasters?
1 Squirrelboy85 2017-09-09
New narrative.
1 Homer_Simpson_Doh 2017-09-09
Trump already does a pretty good job of scaring the American people without fake false flags.
1 Squirrelboy85 2017-09-09
Oh I realized that. Next on the agenda either the media will convince us that our neighbors are either a spy or liberals will start to protect the rights of pedophiles. But who knows
1 perfect_pickles 2017-09-09
'The Russians'
1 CivilianConsumer 2017-09-09
that's stupid , but go ahead turn it into a trump thing
1 callmebaiken 2017-09-09
The biggest thing getting Trump in office accomplished is no more false flags, because it's pointless if he's not on board to push the solution in the problem-reaction-solution game
1 saxophone_singh 2017-09-09
Hey we're not even a year into it, give the man some time. Watch for that power outage false flag.
1 Squirrelboy85 2017-09-09
That has been pushed lately

The money's been cut off. Just like in Syria, where you see the tide turning.
1 lf11 2017-09-09
You don't understand how things work. The false flag works regardless of who is in charge.
1 obsessile 2017-09-09
The focus of the false flags branch has shifted to inciting friction between Trump supporters and Antifa.
1 lf11 2017-09-09
Also, for any mass shooters acting out on suicidality or mental illness....this year there is hope in the working class. Hope is a powerful antidote for suicidality.
1 MollysBrownPizza 2017-09-09
Pulse nightclub happened last year..San Bernardino shortly before that. Probably all stopped due to the Donald taking office..
1 fowuhhmcoe 2017-09-09
Chicago?

1 Lord_Augastus 2017-09-09
Russia, NK, china, immigrant issues are on the table, mass shooting already paved the way for a more militarised more powerful police state. Now the nation is militatising for war.
1 Digitel 2017-09-09
cars and trucks oh my. wait till they figure out gas leaks.
1 ddd333ggg 2017-09-09
How do we fix this?
1 Dawg1shly 2017-09-09
Ask some democratic staffers. They will know who to contact for the shooter and how to get the right crisis actors to push the narrative.
1 Floorspud 2017-09-09
Seems like they don't get much coverage since they happen so often.

For those of us who want to know beyond people who post links and count on you not reading them:
The first link says two died. Hardly a "mass shooting". A Saturday in Chicago is worse. The shooter himself said "I don't know why I went there and I didn't know any of them". He's clearly insane. So this doesn't fit any narrative - that is why it is not national news.
The second link says noone died.
Gave up on the third one.
Nice links showing incidents that in no way differentiate themselves from normal violence in ANY country - and actually were all less deadly than a Muslim in a truck.
1 TheToesKnowsKnees 2017-09-09
Must be the lack of melanin.
1 Floorspud 2017-09-09
This is kinda my point, mass shootings have been normalised so much that if it doesn't end in lots of people dead nobody cares. Getting shot is not some trivial thing.
6 people shot in the 1st one, 25 shot in the 2nd and 7 in the 3rd link and those were just the 1st few links that popped up on google, I'm sure there are many many more.
They frequency of these incidents and amount of casualties (not just dead) from them is very different.
Which happens how often in comparison? Even add up all attacks across EU and it still wouldn't come close.
1 clovize 2017-09-09
Switched to the cartoon world of vehicles running victims down like sharknado.
1 lowglowjoe 2017-09-09
Not really massive but still pretty fucked up http://krqe.com/2017/08/28/reports-multiple-fatalities-injuries-after-shooting-at-clovis-library/
1 Zerwe 2017-09-09
No. It's terrorist attacks. That is what you are talking about, isn't it?
1 Loffler 2017-09-09
They still happen all the time. I think the GOP baseball practice was the only one to get national coverage, but it's been a long year so I could be wrong. Here is an archive of mass shooting events. The site is biased, but they break down each incident so you can verify yourself
1 The-Truth-Fairy 2017-09-09
A lot of people at my work actually never heard of the GOP shooting. It wasn't covered as widely in the news as you would expect. That's because the perpetrator was a Bernie supporter and left-wing activist, so it doesn't fit the media's narrative of crazed gun-toting right wingers picking off random people.
2017 Congressional baseball shooting
1 Loffler 2017-09-09
That's pretty strange, the coverage seemed pretty wall-to-wall over here and I'm nowhere near Virginia. All of my right wing friends brought it up when they talked to me (a Bernie supporter), as if I was supposed to defend that guy's actions. And it's not like they were hiding the fact that he was a Bernie supporter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States
There just hasn't been an effective one recently. This is obviously just the ones in schools.
A quick google search provides this article from april.
But yeah, don't let this sway you. The entire world is under control and you are the sole resistor.
1 thisisnotmyreality 2017-09-09
Obama not in charge anymore. No more pushing gun control.
1 Capillary_Adhesion 2017-09-09
Like suicides, they are under reported to prevent copy cats.
1 perfect_pickles 2017-09-09
'if it bleeds it leads'
so what central authority tells all the varied MSM to ignore violent news !?
1 EvilShayton 2017-09-09
Thats stupid.
1 Ls2323 2017-09-09
Better social-media surveillance and pre-crime arrest?
1 shineese 2017-09-09
I think when Donald Trump became president suddenly these deranged white men felt like they had victory over everyone else. (which is all they seek anyway) so it's calmed down for a while..but i'm sure it will happen again soon
1 lf11 2017-09-09
Completely false. The shootings continue, but the narrative has changed to something else so you don't hear about the shootings. Rest assured, if a serious attempt at restoring gun rights formed, the blood would pour from the evening news.
1 zenmasterzen3 2017-09-09
Myron May, Aaron Alexis, Baton Rouge shooter etc. etc. ALL BLACK (and complaining of Government mind control).
1 marcsmart 2017-09-09
What a moron way of thinking. Generalizing to this extent, with a pinch of racism thrown in for good measure, and yet you probably didn't even have the self awareness of how fucking stupid that sounds.
1 briandonkey 2017-09-09
It takes time to plan these events. I have no doubt that more is to come.
Has anyone attempted to see if these mass shootings/massacres occur on a specific astrological alignment or conjunction?
1 lf11 2017-09-09
They happen all the time. Small mass shootings are pretty much continual, large mass shootings are simply very rare. What changes is media agenda and reporting.
1 TheWiredWorld 2017-09-09
No, just normal violence that in no way is different than in any other country that has as multicultural of a population as the U.S.
1 lf11 2017-09-09
I purposefully didn't link any of the wildly misleading "mass shooting trackers" but if you actually look at the data there are a fair number of shootings involving more people than you might think on a pretty regular basis. Not every day. Not every month. But it happens.
1 BanMikePantsNow 2017-09-09
Mass shootings only happen with a Democratic regime in power. It would not be believable to have Republicans repeal the 2nd Amendment.
1 Villainary 2017-09-09
9/11 happened on republicans watch so does that mean only the republican regime uses terrorism?
1 MegaLegBeats 2017-09-09
I think you totally missed the point.
1 Villainary 2017-09-09
How so?
I'm assuming they're implying mass shootings are used as a tool by democrats. There's 5 top posts about 9/11 being planned, is that then not a tool used by republicans?
1 BanMikePantsNow 2017-09-09
Actually, my point is that the Republucans and Democrats are nothing more than the tools of the elite. The same elite that blew up the WTC.
1 Villainary 2017-09-09
But then going back to your original statement
how can mass shootings be strictly linked "democrat regimes" if they've happened under both republican and democratic presidents? Why are republicans not responsible for 9/11, but then democrats are responsible for mass shootings?
1 BanMikePantsNow 2017-09-09
Because no Republican can seek to repeal the 2nd Amendment and still pretend to serve their constituents. Just like no Democrat could pull of a bullshit invasion of Iraq credibly.
1 KitN91 2017-09-09
Well Obama sure did a great job of getting us involved in additional foreign wars.
1 MegaLegBeats 2017-09-09
That’s because the media was complicit in downplaying the more hypocritical aspects of his presidency.
I mean he got a Noble Peace Prize for fucks sake.
1 Villainary 2017-09-09
Republicans haven't served their constituents since before Regan.
1 IamNotYourBuddy 2017-09-09
Google is your friend. There are small mass shootings and school shootings fairly regularly.
1 jimmyb207 2017-09-09
It's about labeling people as "racist" if they have an opinion or white skin now,
