The same video games and movies pretty much are played and watched in

mass shootings we do? Could it be the easy availability of guns and a
gun culture?


We have a much more violent culture over all. We have more people
beating other people to death with their bare hands than most of those
other countries have, total murders, in any given year.
To those other countries, Grand Theft Auto is just a fantasy. If you
live in Baltimore or Chicago, it looks a lot like your daily life and
you probably know guys who steal cars for a living.

I know the news only wants to report white people getting killed at
school or at work but if that was the only murders we had, we would
look better than Sweden. The fact remains drug and gang violence, just
like those video games, is what drives our murder rate.

Next time I get bored I will load the new 2016 FBI crime data set into
a database manager and give you all some "views" you don't see on TV.

If I just slice out "europeans" killing "europeans" I bet we start
looking a lot more like Europe.
Of course then you will call me a racist.
