"We" and "them"? Massive, pointless generalizations passed off as insightful or profound.

Both are acts of terrorism, difference is that the US government is able to find and punish the perpetrators with more ease than in middle eastern countries

the U.S government make a bigger deal about the Muslim terrorists than they do the Christian terrorists.

before the shooters were identified as muslims, the shooting in san bernando was attributed to work place hostility, and was treated as just another shooting. But after they were identified it automatically became terrorism.

You can argue the semantics all you want, but the logic is quite sound

No it's not, as the article stated we have become so numb to it that the media really only covers the rampages with huge numbers.. That shooting in california was not wven the only or first for that matter of the day.. Just fyi a mass shooting involves 4 or more victims so it doesnt take a dozen to qualify.. How sick is that? 4 people can die at once by gunfire and people can shrug and say oh thats not really that much

plus since those are just "mass shootings" and not as necessarily 'senseless' and the number is "shot" not "dead". do not confuse me as condoning any of it, its merely the media appeal i am trying to explain here... many of them are things we expect and dismiss, gang shootings and the like, the media likes to latch onto the ones that feel more random and don't involve "thugs" because normal Americans tune in in the attitude of "THIS COULD EFFECT ME THAT COULD BE ME" instead of the normal blase "ugh if you don't wanna be involved in crime don't be around it" mentality. the media only cares about the ones that they think will leave you scared, not so much the numbers.

While I agree I still say that the "infograph" that the duck theduckknight is referring to is still wrong

while i think its a little liberal with the term mass shooting, (only a few people need to be shot to be count, and it counts pretty much any injury and any type of shooting event) i am pretty sure the actual stats its using are correct... but theres is a misleading nature to it i feel.

Google it stoner.. You will find no shortage of articles to back up my claim, and not from some questionable site in the dark recesses of the internet.. Im not the one to make a specific comment without knowing what the f*ck im talking about

We see the mideast as them, however we seem to forget that they see us as "them". In our desperate attempt to erase evil by bombing and starting wars, we slowly become the enemy in the eyes of the innocent people who lose their homes and loved ones.

As a war veteran, this kind of shit disgusts me. When you see mothers strapping bombs to their children and Americans prisoners getting decapitated... You'll see a difference

hey omglmnop no offense but calling yourself a war veteran without proof really doesnt automatically legitimize you argument, also vaguely referring to mothers strapping bombs to their children without any proof that is was used in any war further makes your arguement sound like shit spewed from someone who enjoys fox news. :)

So why state you're a veteran at all then

To give the illusion that his opinion was molded by his "experiences" of war and not by the identical shit spewed by fox news and other propaganda esque news sources. Also taking the time out of your day to intentionally write a comment means that you do care, albeit a little bit.

Automatically assumes I'm talking about one incident that involved arabs, nice one. America has plenty of nass shootings.
