Statistics Can Be Fun

The Liberals and their Democrat flunkies have started Kabuki Theater 3.o recasting the Russian Collusion Delusion into the Ukrainian Impeachment Delusion.

So while Schiff For Brains does his very best to prove President Trump committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors based on a half dozen political flunkies from the Entrenched Bureaucracy who will report that they heard someone tell them someone told them something that somebody told them"  

Let's look at how the sycophants in the Media lie constantly.

Check out this asinine approach to convince America that "Mass Shootings" are out of control.

As of September 1, which was the 244th day of the year, there have been 283 mass shootings in the U.S., according to data from the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive (GVA), which tracks every mass shooting in the country. The GVA defines a mass shooting as any incident in which at least four people were shot, excluding the shooter.

Now first notice the reporter, Jason Silverstein can't even get the definition of a mass shooting correct.

Federal statutes define "mass shootings" as three or more people killed, regardless of weapons. 

So simpleton Silverstein says shot while the Federal Government says killed. Hmmmm.... big difference No?

But let's go with Silverstein's definition but check his data.

He says as of Sept 1st its 283 mass shootings, the Gun Violence Archive for that period is actually 287. Poor simpleton Silverstein can't even count!

But what does the data really say?

From Jan 1 through Sept 1:

Top 10 states "Mass Shootings"

1. California - 34 shooting 40 Killed 131 Injured 
2. Illinois - 31 Shootings 17 Killed 140 Injured
3. Texas -20 Shootings 58 Killed 102 Injured
4. Maryland - 16 Shootings 8 Killed 66 Injured
5. Georgia - 14 Shootings 13 Killed 55 Injured
6. Pennsylvania 14 Shootings 8 Killed 66 Injured
7. Louisiana 13 Shootings 8 Killed 51 Injured
8. Missouri 11 Shootings 17 Killed 33 Injured
9. Virginia 9 Shootings 20 Killed 38 Injured
10. New Jersey 9 Shootings 5 Killed 40 Injured

So 171 of the 287 (59.6%) mass shootings were in 10 states while the remaining 116 were in 38 other states. Wyoming and Hawaii had no mass shootings for this period. But, Washington DC would have fallen into position 16 with 6 Shootings 3 Killed 23 Injured

Now what were the top 10 Cities?

1. Chicago 29 Shootings 17 Killed 131 Injured
2. Oakland/San Francisco 22 Shootings 20 Killed 81 Injured
3. Baltimore 13 Shootings 7 Killed 52 Injured
4. Philadelphia 10 Shootings 4 Killed 47 Injured
5. St. Louis 8 Shootings 16 Killed 26 Injured
6. Houston 7 Shootings 12 Killed 23 Injured
7. Washington DC 6 Shootings 3 Killed 23 Injured
8. Miami 5 Shootings 1 Killed 31 Injured
 9. Columbus (OH) 5 Shootings 10 Killed 38 Injured
10. Newark 5 Shootings 4 Killed 18 Injured

So folks, it seems Silverstein's article which had no real point failed to point out the majority of Shootings and Killings occur in Blue States and Cities.

But it seems we know two things about the Media, they don't know how to do analysis or research, but they do know hoe to lie. I guess they think we won't check to see if they are slinging Bullshit.
