Central Maine Medical Center said staff were “reacting to a mass casualty, mass shooter event” and were coordinating with area hospitals to take in patients.
Definitely not for Maine though. This guy was a military weapons instructor for the army. My cousin was at West Point with him this summer and he is the one who got him a psych eval. One day on the shooting range I guess he had a psychotic breakdown talking about the voices in his head and wanting to shoot up places. The shooter was absolutely pissed about having to get a psych eval. The shooter is still at large and it’s terrifying especially because he might be going after my cousin.
This one shooter is likely to nearly match the TOTAL homicide rate for Maine last year (30). I think that when a state is looking at HALF THIER TOTAL MURDERS being from a mass shooting event, its time to stop treating them as an insignificant aberration and as a legitimate contributor to overall violence.
Problem is statistically they are an anomoly. You’re more likely to shoot yourself than be a victim of any definition of mass shooting by any compiler.
Your point is more a point of “how statistics can be used to mislead.” It sounds like a lot when you say you “doubled” something, for instance, but if there weren’t a lot to begin with (say 2,) there will still not be a lot of the thing when doubled, (like 4).
While your argument is sound it doesn’t dissuade from the point the preceding argument was trying to make. Which maybe you missed, or maybe you just like to debate? Guns as they are now in this country are a big fucking problem. Anomalies are just as bad, and likely preventable, as any other thing with a higher number on some chart. Many might argue >0 is a number to large when it comes to loss of life.
Except that they’re asserting they aren’t exactly what they are, a statistical anomoly, and they are attempting to fear tactic people into “zomg half?!”
Good luck getting the 600,000,000 guns out of civilian hands who don’t want to give them up with no registry to know who/where they are, and the trillions of rnds of ammo stockpiled with them, lmk how that works out for you (though since it would involve killing a lot of people, with guns, for the crime of wanting to retain their legally purchased property that happens to also be guns, I suspect I’ll already be aware.)
Just a nornal day in US
