    I'll hold your hand and help you out this time ...

    From the article ...

    "Between 1982 and May 2021, 66 out of the 124 mass shootings in the United States were carried out by white shooters. By comparison, the perpetrator was African American in 21 mass shootings, and Latino in 10. When calculated as percentages, this amounts to 53 percent, 17 percent and eight percent respectively..."

    When you adjust those raw statistics with the percentage of each group within the population ... the numbers are vastly different

    I hope that helps you out

    <sigh> You're continuing to ignore the statistics about men v. women. I moved past the racial numbers and posted about gender numbers in post 32, the one you're quibbling about. Statista reported on race and gender and you're focusing on race only. I'm aware of percentages but that doesn't make the numbers look good for white men.

    Let me hold your hand here. Also in the article... "Broadly speaking, the racial distribution of mass shootings mirrors the racial distribution of the U.S. population as a whole." Each group is equally bad when the numbers are matched with race. The bottom line is that most mass shootings are carried out by white men. Not black men, not black or white women. White men.

    What Anchovies "forgot" to mention:

    Quote Originally Posted by Legion View Post


    Early Saturday morning, a gunman shot and injured at least 19 people outside an Austin, Texas, bar.

    But the city’s flagship newspaper, the leftist Austin-American Statesman, refused to release the description of the suspect, a dangerous mass shooter who was still on the run, because—you guessed it—it would be racist.

    The newspaper white-splained in an Editor’s Note appended to its main story on the shooting:

    Editor’s note: Police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter as of Saturday morning. The Austin American-Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes. If more detailed information is released, we will update our reporting.

    The description circulated by police was not, by any stretch of the imagination, “vague.”

    The description, in fact, dramatically reduced the suspect pool in the Austin area, narrowing it down to black males wearing dreadlocks.

    If you’re a police officer (or a citizen at risk from an at-large criminal) wouldn’t you want to know that information?

    And then there’s this bit from the newspaper’s report: “Police said they had zeroed in on two suspects involved in [a] previous dispute and were rapidly working to arrest them.”

    In other words, the Statesman knew that the police knew who the suspects were.

    If the police said the suspects were black, why didn’t the newspaper take the police department at its word?

    I’ll tell you why: the Statesman wants to perpetuate the fictional narrative that dangerous, gun-toting white supremacist rednecks are roaming the city of Austin, hunting black people.

    The Statesman would have us believe that everyone in the Austin area was a potential suspect, when, in fact, the newspaper knew that not to be true. (On a related note, the same public safety issues arise when no one knows whether a suspect is a male or a female because assuming someone’s gender might result in hurt feelings.)

    Austin is not alone in prioritizing the woke agenda over safety.

    San Francisco police released the picture of a black suspect who lit a woman on fire on a BART train, but blurred out the assailant's face, purportedly to avoid perpetuating racial stereotypes.

    Austin and other U.S. cities continue to demonstrate that they care more about being woke than protecting the public from dangerous criminals.

    "White" is a gender?

    Interesting it doesn't report the average age of these shooters...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    is there some sort of payment system for everytime one of you racewar baiters mentions the evilness of white men???
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    The same payment system for every time one of these racists mentions only the crimes committed by black men and ignores the rest.

Now let's take a guess or three why the poster showed only black men. The first two don't count.
