There Have Been 13 Mass School Shootings Since 1966, Not 27 This Year---Why the inaccurate reporting?

[healthmyths]

Now many of you really ignorant commentators WILL NOT be reading the below because frankly you are lazy... BUT you maybe like me
influenced by the BIASED MSM reporting inaccurate Stories like the below. Again just another way MSM bias presents itself!

An NPR article highlighting this statistic has been shared frequently on social media. The headline, "27 school shootings have taken place so far this year," probably gave many readers the impression that gun-related killings in schools have been especially high this year, even before Uvalde.
Naturally, the prospect of 26 other previously unnoticed mass shooting events in schools should provoke alarm.
It should also raise eyebrows.
The problem here is that three very differently defined terms are being used somewhat incautiously and interchangeably: school shooting, mass shooting, and mass school shooting.
Uvalde was a mass school shooting; the 26 previous tragedies at schools this year were not.
he difference is significant. Education Week, which tracks all school shootings, defines them as incidents in which a person other than the suspect suffers a bullet wound on school property. Many of the 26 previous shootings involved disputes between students in parking lots, or after athletic events, and all of them resulted in one or zero deaths. These deaths are still incredibly tragic, of course. But they are fundamentally unlike what happened in Uvalde.

Uvalde is a mass school shooting.

Just because all who were shot were not killed does not make any school shooting any less of a statistic.

Does it really not count if 8 are shot but only 2 died?

 

[Resnic]

Because fear and anger is their toolset for getting what they want.

The 2 easiest to control and easiest to predict people are ones that are scared and or angry.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

False.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

There has been two since the school shooting.

You guys sure like lying and propaganda.

You put more guns on the street then sell more guns because of the masses of guns on the streets. It's a win win more people afraid and buy more guns.

You have to ask?

Anti-gun politics, of course, resulting in lying and lies.

Yes, I looked at an Internet list this week of the supposedly incredible number of "school shootings" this year or last that the writer was trying to equate with Uvalde.

They were ALL one-on-one crime shootings in high schools, mostly urban. Presumably for drugs or bullying or gangs, but none were anywhere close to mass shootings or Uvalde.

I don't see how leftists can live with themselves, doing all the lying for propaganda that they do. I couldn't.

yes, it does count. Disinformation, lies, and the promotion of hatred harm us all.

Bed wetting leftist filth wallow and splash delightfully in that blood because they can use emotion to promote policies which will actually do more harm to society than anything else.

How would access to all that need mental health help be a harm to society?

Narratives need to be "supported".

 

[Mr Natural]

Only 13.

I'll bet it would count a lot to the 6 that survived & their families.
Gang fights and thuggery on school property does not belong in the same discussion as Uvalde or other psycho mass murders at schools

And you are both

The have been six in Texas in the past 7 years.. since Abbott has been governor. That's why Abbott was booed when he visited Uvalde.

Of course but it is still a mass shooting.

Depends on who is shot IMO. But all the same, take those out and the numbers are still far more than the OP claimed.

Abbott is being blamed for Prog policies that have been put into law over the last several decades. The Prog stage is a mighty one. Get your tickets...for its always a drama with sardonic comedy thrown in.
