I’m such a glutton for punishment. I looked at Everytown’s list of “school” shootings again. Only seven new entries since last I checked.
- 10/27/2019 Eugene OR University of Oregon
“…near the University of Oregon.”
Not a school shooting - 10/27/2019 Clarksville TN Austin Peay State University
Late Sunday night, non-students drug deal turned robbery.
I’m not calling this a “school” shooting. - 10/27/2019 Laurel MD Laurel Woods Elementary School
“…near a Laurel elementary school Sunday night.”
Not a school shooting - 10/24/2019 New Independence Township MN South Ridge School
“Authorities believe the damage happened within the 24 hours before they were called, and likely happened outside of school hours.”
OK, this one was actually a school. - 10/18/2019 Toledo OH Woodward High School
“…near Woodward High School …No shots were fired on school property.”
Not a school shooting - 10/18/2019 Grambling LA Grambling State University
Non-student, but at a campus event.
School shooting, if you count college/university. - 10/13/2019 Nashville TN Tennessee State University
Student murdered in dorm.
School shooting, if you count college/university.
The score today:
3 of 7 of these don’t even meet Everytown’s crazed definition, leaving only 4. That gives them a generous 57.1% accuracy rate; much worse than last week.
There’s a non-student drug deal that was only coincidentally on — university — campus; strike that one: down to 42.9% accuracy.
If you limit it actual shootings at elementary or high schools — you know, where kids might be –, which is what most people think of when you say “school,” only 1 of 7 qualifies: 14.3% “accuracy.” And that one didn’t involve kids; they don’t even know when it happened because no one notice until they found a broken window.
And yet idiot journalists pushing an anti-rights agenda still cite these liars. And Bloomberg continues to pay Shannon Watts for this incompetence.
