List Of Massacres By Country

If the dems were given their head I suspect they would go all Khmer Rouge on any descent but since we are armed all they can muster is lame insults shouted from the peanut gallery.

A peanut gallery was, in the days of vaudeville, a nickname for the cheapest and ostensibly rowdiest seats in the theater, the occupants of which were often known to heckle the performers.

The least expensive snack served at the theatre would often be peanuts, which the patrons would sometimes throw at the performers on stage to convey their disapproval. Phrases such as "no comments from the peanut gallery" or "quiet in the peanut gallery" are extensions of the name. -Wiki
 
By all accounts the British force called Rogers Rangers massacred a friendly Indian village in upstate NY and Hollywood turned it into a victory in the movie Northwest Passage.
 
Indications are that Japan was trying to negotiate peace terms and Truman refused to talk. The nuclear attack on Heroshima and Nagasaki was probably the most notorious example of a massacre in human history.

You mean at the close WW2? These massacres in schools, movie theaters, malls, churches and grocery stores are like WW2 in your mind?

Are you senile?

Maybe you need to adjust focus on modern massacres or simply define the concept of a massacre. No need to attack posters with the senile card. I accept your apology.

You're one of those who whine about that huh?
 
It's a Wikipedia page. There's no guarantee that it is complete, or in any way consistent between pages. The US page, for existence, reflects Robb Elementary, but no mention of Buffalo, El Paso, or anything with less than about 9 deaths, while the France and Great Britain pages include entries with as few as 1 or 2 deaths.

Also, it includes bombings and stabbings. The current discussion is about shootings.

This is the 'History' forum. If you submitted this to any history teacher on the planet as evidence for an argument, you'd get laughed out of the room.
 
Like it or not the concept of killing as many civilians as it took to convince maniacs to surrender was the key to winning WW2. Germans bombed civilian centers in England and Allies bombed civilian centers in Germany. The problem for Germany was that the Nazi regime couldn't keep up with the losses in a relatively small country that had no willing support among conquered territories. Allies bombed Germany into the stone age with daylight raids on civilian populations. The same goes for Japan. The term "massacre" did not apply in the 2oth century when Allied bombers held enough explosives to wipe out large towns and small cities.
