As an American, I've woken up multiple times just this week alone to see headlines about various school shootings. I believe in this country less and less every day that I wake up in it
We're being driven to it. Well aside from being Britain's former penal colony (before independence made them switch to Australia) and the lead in the gasoline until the mid 90s (being more technologically advanced does have its drawbacks) which dropped IQ and raised aggression 4X. Aside from those line items, just like Israel keeping its population traumatized (trauma stacks and can be passed through genetic markers 4 generations) to keep/develop the psycho mode we have building over here. We're not gung-ho for war enough for our overlords. They require more bloodthirsty grunts to do their bidding.
That list of 2026 mass shootings is like an everyday occurrence. And it doesn't even cover shootings of less than 4 people sooo... factoring that in is bananas (looking at you Harambee, you sweet prince)
Well that's even more recent, so there it is. No hate on yall, bro is just acting like large scale violence with a deadly weapon is an exclusively american thing.
When i say large scale i mean an event with multiple victims, not frequency, and as most first world countries ik of have at least some events with a weapon and multiple victims it literally isn't. That's like saying deep fried food is exclusive to america just because most other countries only do it on occasion.
When i say large scale i mean an event with multiple victims,
Also higher rate in the US.
Seriously what angle are you going for here lol?
If you want a 'US good' statistic cite total GDP, wages, or number of billionaires (many would argue actually not a good thing but still). Don't go for things the US is notably worse at in comparison to comparably-wealthy countries.
thank you for admitting you were wrong, but do u see how alluring the temptation of always demanding you are right is? a lesser man would double down and blame all the immigrants in a sanctuary city for lying about the statistics or some liberal conspiracy, you just admitted it and moved on. FUCKING THANK YOU for doing that
if you strip away suicides and look only at criminal murders, the gap is still massive:
• Hawaii (Population 1.4 million) = ~20 gun murders per year.
• The UK (Population 67 million) = ~32 gun murders per year
Not even, and the arndale manchester mall was a stabbing with multiple victims, but dude was acting like large scale violence with a deadly weapon is exclusive to america.
I don't think it was a conscious decision, because saving an animal over a human could open them up to criminal liability for manslaughter. I think they just didn't reach him in time.

American discovering that the UK’s solution to a problem, isn’t shooting things in the face.
