Professor John Lott on mass shootings

[ja308]

No surprise John Lott has been silenced by twitter for pointing out the motivations of 2 so called "White Supremacist"killers.

"On Saturday, after someone pointed to the Newsweek article, I responded that the El Paso and Christchurch murderers were both environmentalists/socialists who didn’t like minorities because minorities have too many children. The Tweet linked to an article of mine in the New York Daily News, where I discussed the New Zealand murderer’s stated views. I also linked to a piece at the Crime Prevention Research Center about the El Paso killer. But Twitter refused to post this, saying, “We can’t complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful.”

I suggest those interested, follow the link ASAP, as its possible, this really isn't gun related, in the sense of springs, bore cleaners, obscure calibers or anything like that.

Its posted to show the anti gun, anti american attitude with Twitter and their big media pals.

Speaking of which, it has been a while since we had one.

Heyjackass.com delivers.

If it's defined as 4+ people shot in one event, then it has been like 2 days since Chicago had one.

Sunday 8/15
12:25a 1300 E 75th, South Shore, F/30
12:25a 1300 E 75th, South Shore, M/31
12:25a 1300 E 75th, South Shore, M/35
12:25a 1300 E 75th, South Shore, M/45

If it's just a hat trick to qualify . . . There were two of those in Chicago on Sunday as well

2:00a 100 E 87th, Chatham, M/15
2:00a 100 E 87th, Chatham, M/16
2:00a 100 E 87th, Chatham, M/19

2:25a 4400 N Kostner, Irving Park, F/18
2:25a 4400 N Kostner, Irving Park, M/19
2:25a 4400 N Kostner, Irving Park, F/23

But I see what you mean . . . They can't pin this on "tHe GrEaTeSt ThReAt To ThE nAtIoN" so it doesn't matter (to them).

Good point and IIRC there have been others, but the killers and victims did not fit the narrative for media to exploit, as you noted.
Anxiously awaiting alternatives to facebook and twitter. Had Parler and Amazon cancelled them.
Right after that I cancelled Amazon prime and now use theWalmart online app. Cheaper and better IMO.

Thank you for the reply !

They have one every weekend in Chicago but the media hardly notices.

A mass murder (whether using a firearms or something else) is/was defined by the FBI as '4 or more killed not counting the perp'. It was adjusted to '3 or more' during the Obama years, in order to get more of them into the stats (Obama being Obama). The reason it's set at that level is to cut off most of the "regular" crimes and study this particular type of crimes.

"Mass shooting" is a political term designed to sound like "mass murder" while having no definition whatsoever (thus it cam be manipulated in whatever way the particular "researcher" wants). Since "mass murder" and "mass shooting" are pretty much synonymous to a regular person, this is used to pad the numbers by a few degrees of magnitude, from a few per year to several hundred per year. Some, such as GVA, define it at "4 or more injured and firearms were somehow involved" (it's not even necessary that it was used, it just needs to be present at the scene). Some are even less scrupulous.

Funny enough, this then contradicts another one of the left's narratives. Guess who most of the "mass shooters" turn out to be when such lowered definitions are used and the regular crime enters the count. But then the left has so many contradicting narratives they ought to be impervious to it by now.

Um John Lott was censored by twitter for pointing out liberals committed the mass murders, contradicting Newspeek ( he proved it ) but the Taliban is OK to post.
Truly, we have entered the Twilight Zone.

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/08/17/twitter-taliban-can-stay-on-platform-as-long-as-they-dont-get-too-violent/

"Twitter said in a statement on Tuesday that the Taliban will be allowed to stay on its social media platform, as long as they don’t get overly violent. The company claims it will “proactively enforce our rules” but stopped short of saying it would blacklist the Taliban, as Facebook did today."

This cal gunner would like to know. what is too violent ? Clearly Professor Lott's links contained Zero violence.
