The School Shootings That Weren't

(1/1)

Ghost:
This is a positive article from (believe it or not) National Public Radio.  NPR researchers found that a lot of the school shootings that are quoted as statistics never happened.  An interesting read.

Saw that, I can't believe they actually reported that.  Blows up some of their talking points.   :laugh:

GreyGeek:
NPR posted that article on their FacistBook page and FacistBook promptly took it down.   :o

https://truepundit.com/facebook-takes-down-npr-report-questioning-the-accurate-number-of-school-shootings-from-2015-2016/

Executive Summary:  NPR called ALL 235 schools at which a report claimed were sites of school shootings.  Only ELEVEN confirmed, most denied the claims.

The Left is shooting its wounded and eating their young.

Better download that article from the NPR site before NPR looses their courage and self-censors.

Back in February, just after the Parkland shooting, I copied this data down after some "news" stations tried claiming there were 18 school shootings in 2018 (as of 2/15).

--- Quote ---Was there really 18 school shootings this year?  Not if you look at the facts, where they included far more than actual shootings (or even attempted shootings).
This broad definition places
•   two separate suicides,
•   a January 9 incident where a man shot a BB gun at a bus window resulting in no injuries;
•   a January 10 incident where a student in a criminal justice club accidentally shot a peace officer's real gun at a target on a classroom wall instead of a training gun resulting in no injuries;
•   a January 9 incident where gun shots were fired from somewhere outside of Cal State San Bernardino, which struck a building on campus without injuries;
--- End quote ---
They also included an incident at a nightclub on campus

--- Quote ---•   the murder of a Winston-Salem State University student at a nightclub on the Wake Forest University campus
--- End quote ---
Then finally, they listed two actual incidents of shootings apart from the Parkland incident.

--- Quote ---•   the January 22 shooting of a 15-year-old at a Dallas-area high school,
•   and Tuesday's Marshall County High School shooting which left 2 dead and 18 others injured.
--- End quote ---

I see a whole lot of gun free zones in that list.
