    unprovoked violent threat; victim so calloused to violence they still communicate simply and honestly; assailant sparing the innocent and guiding them to a safer area

    Is this an american day to day occurance?

    It’s pretty much every encounter I’ve ever had with a gang member.








  • I think I hear about a school shooting about once every two or three months. And, I believe underreporting at a national level paired with myself not having time to keep up means that I hear about roughly one in every hundred shootings.

    Typically there’s about 180 days of school per year.

    Crunching some vague math, my guess seems preposterous: ~340 school shootings in 2024. That’s almost two per day. But, the more I thought about it the less preposterous it seemed.

    TL;DR - My guess is a seemingly preposterous 340 school shootings in 2024, or almost 2 per school day.
