“Between July 16 and July 28th, 2019, There Were 36 Mass Shootings Across the United States: Blacks Were Suspects in 34 of Them” 12 days, 36 MASS shootings. Not shootings, which of course would be a higher number but MASS Shootings where the victim count is much higher than one-on one shootings. A New York Times story from 2016 had stated, much to the surprise and chagrin of the reporters, that whenever there are three or more victims of gunfire, 75 percent of shooters in America are black. As Colin Flaherty notes (buy his book if you haven’t), 94 percent of the 36 mass shootings between July 16 and July 28, 2019 across the USA were committed by blacks. Why?
… On Monday morning, Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, tweeted a nearly minute-long audio recording of rapid gunfire from a shooting on the West Side on Sunday.
“Below is the sound that Chicago needs to change its ways on how we handle gun offenders,” he wrote. “Audio from the tragic shooting at 18th & Kildare yesterday shows that criminals have no deterrent to carrying illegal guns in our city and this is what residents and police are up against.”
Why so many shootings? Every American has a rather easy path to get a gun if they so desire but why do so few Americans shoot other people? Or the corollary; why do so many black people shoot so many people?
