Numbers for 2019. I guess it was just a fad? It's a little disingenuous that they pump the numbers up with any altercation (even among adults) just because it's on school grounds, including parking lots and sports fields.
Here's a full timeline since Columbine. 2018 was a pretty heady year. As was 2014.
Obviously Covid-19 is a major factor in 2020, but how did we avoid any in 2019? And will the /pol incelsiors seek their revenge once Trump is out?
Most supposed school shootings in fact never happened. NPR found that, out of the 235 shootings reported by the federal government for the 2015-16 school year, 161 of them (that's almost 69%!!!) flat out did not happen . An additional 59 could be neither confirmed nor disconfirmed. Only 11 of them could actually be confirmed; that's less than 5%. (The remaining 4 shootings, NPR found, did happen -- but they didn't qualify as school shootings, and were wrongly categorized as such.)
Nice.
See, I knew there was some kooky accounting going on. I should mention I'm not a skeptic or anything, I'm just curious what happened to the spate of GI Jokes.
