@NiftyWhite because mass stabbings in Europe and the UK are so much better... 🤔

@NiftyWhite You might have a point 🤔 I feel like the US experiences more school mass-shootings in a row than any country

@NiftyWhite I wouldn't be too sure about that. What about countries in Central America where crime-rates are much higher than the US?

These kinds of arguments that use circular reasoning just irk me...
assuming we're talking about firearm related crimes, reported crimes, particular crimes (involving schools), then sure... things look bad here...
completely ignorant that many of the countries making those comparisons are a fraction of our size, have a fraction of the population, have a less ethnically diverse population, have a higher number of unreported crimes, have a higher number of non-firearm related crimes, etc.

It's like feminism. we have women in western countries complaining on how hard they have it here...
meanwhile, women in middle eastern countries aren't even allowed to show their face in public, aren't allowed to own property, are treated with less value than livestock, assaulted/beaten, molested, sold into sex slavery/bondage, not even afforded the basic human rights that most of us take for granted, etc.
and which gets the most media attention & public outcry?
if you complain about western feminism, you're labeled a misogynist
if you complain about middle eastern treatment of women, you're labeled a racist and/or islamophobe...

Anyways. School shootings is my answer to the post.
