Something odd about all these shootings?

Posted on 01/30/2013 12:15:45 PM PST by ConservativeMan55

Why do all these shootings seem to come in waves?

Sometimes multiple shootings or gun related crimes happen in one day?

For instance an office shooting in Phoenix AND.. this other crazed guy who took a child hostage down in a "bunker"

This happened a week or so ago where we had two or three shootings in different cities on in one day??

What's going on???

I think it is a “shark attack” reporting trend, where the media fixates on a story type and reports anything that is related. It makes it seem like there is an increase in the incidents or that they are all related when it just the attention paid by the media to something they would normally ignore or not cover so extensively.

Yep, all overseen by the JournoList gang.

I can see why in an economy like this where you are worried about losing your job every single day with capitalism hating president in charge. Add to that worrying about having your constitutional rights stripped, handing over your handguns, not being able to protest without being cooked by microwave guns, the price of everything going through the roof because of no-collateral backed slips of paper that resemble dollar bills, your savings declining, your taxes going up, being forced to buy Obamacare, worrying about gays molesting your kids in the BSA, etc, etc, etc... AND you wonder why people are losing it?!...LOL

Disenfranchisement of MEN in our society. Emasculated males and Females control everything. The chickens are coming home to roost.. The left knows exactly what they’re doing.. Gay military, females in combat, gay Boy Scouts..

All media outlets are digging for any stories about gun violence after Sandy Hook. It sells so they run with it. It will taper off after a time.

Obama’s been a busy little community agitator!

The state run media can make anything fit their agenda.

Incidents of catacylsmic and self-destructive violence seem to spike during times of economic stress and pessimism, with publicity causing a copycat effect that spurs imitators.

When ‘big oil’ was the culprit, how many did we hear?
When ‘climate change’ was there, before all the emails and stuff came out, how much did we hear?
Now, when ‘guns’ are the thing, it is the drumming, again.
When we should have invaded Iran, drums?
Iran put a monkey in space, drums?

America’s dying, drums?

There is no coincidence here, all of the mass shooters have been on prescription psychotropic drugs.

Without these drugs, there would be no massacres, going ‘postal,’ or other manifestations.

Time to end their use; they’re good for nothing anyway.

#1 - We live in a very large country, so there are usually going to be multiple incidents of any type of crime on any particular day.

#2 - Sometimes, when a crime gets a lot of media attention, it produces copycats.


#3 - It now fits the leftist media agenda to report as many of these events as they possibly can.

It’s the Media trying to shape public opinion to fit their and the Administrations agenda, guns are bad and must be banned, plain and simple.

I remember when Clinton was in office one guy sprays the White House with an AK and the following week some guy flies a Cessna 150 into the White House.

The reason is one that the media will never touch. Obsessive media coverage and glorification of the murderer gives other crazies the idea.

Somehow, the shootings in Chicago never get the breathless media coverage that shootings elsewhere receive.

As this country disintegrates, the violence will increase.

Too, the Marxists want you to believe there is chaos in the streets to justify martial law, so the MSM is publicizing all acts of violence that fits this narrative. It's part of the current gun control push.

Truth is, violent crime is down in the USA.
