Among the best, yea.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Gee, I guess this does not mean 'Murica has a gun violence problem.

The last mass shooting in Denmark occurred in 1994. The last mass shooting in the US happened... yesterday?

What's their ethnic population like?

And they are a country of 5 million versus a country of 350 million.


But I think the answer lies within that first point.

How many mass shootings did Denmark have this year total as of January 1? How many did USA have this year?

[Facepalm]

When Denmark has a shooting it is shocking. When the USA has a shooting it's just another day of "thoughts and prayers"

January 6 at the capitol last year was such an embarrassment.

What is Denmark's ethnic population like? You know, the people that commit the most crime. Now compare it to the United States.

I also find it hilarious how you WHITE Liberals always compare the smallest and Whitest of countries over in Europe to the United States. It's like you're almost saying these WHITES have their shit together and this melting pot over in the United States does not. Which actually indirectly proves my above point. :lol

We're not talking crime in general, we're discussing gun violence and mass shooting. In the United States, the vast majority of those crimes are committed by whites. Are you implying that minorities are the reason that white people in this country regularly go on murder rampages?

LOL...you have your statistics backwards. Its the 13% of the population that causes the majority of the deadly crimes commited in the United States. We are also ignoring all the minor crimes that no one prosecutes. But if you include those, it would be 13% of the population causing 90% of the crimes.

Majority of murders committed in the United States are committed by Blacks. While people want to focus on the term "mass shootings", the majority of gun-related deaths in this country are perpetrated by Blacks. Simple facts. FBI also records crimes committed by Whites as also including Hispanics, so the numbers are skewed a bit. This inflates the numbers of gun-related deaths by non-Hispanic Whites.

Here's the data: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/table-43


Apparently there isn't any data yet from 2020 and 2021 where we know crime and murders skyrocketed.



And yes, majority of crime in this country is perpetrated by Whites when you factor in that 75.5% of the country is listed as "White" which includes Hispanics as well. But our focus here is on gun crimes and on murders. It's the whole reason we are comparing the United States and Denmark in the first place.

Mass shootings yes by whites but gun violence in general is disproportionately done by blacks. This is a fact.

[Shogon]

Mass shootings yes by whites but gun violence in general is disproportionately done by blacks. This is a fact.

Not even true though, not by the literal definition of what a mass shooting is.

The overwhelming majority of "mass shootings"(which is like 4 or 5 people at once) are done by black people.

However, I will say... the stories that typically end up on the news where 20+ people have been shot up are almost always white male shooters, yes that's true.


But black people gunning each other down 4+ at a time is considered normal and ok. It happens with such frequency and because the shooters are typically black that it has been normalized.

But when 20+ people die at once, it gets a different type of emotional reaction of "that's not supposed to happen" and people lose their damn minds.

Meanwhile we lose a shitload more people 4 or 5 at a time with it not even being remotely comparable in terms of raw numbers.

It's not about life and death and shooting or not shooting... it's about people's emotional reactions to the situations and what has been normalized over time. Period. There is no other way to put it.
