Well Ted Crus said the reason is there are too many doors.
Seriously, he actually fucking said that.
Literally entire rest of developed world: a school shooting happening is national breaking news
USA: No school shooting happening for 24hours is national breaking news
Just a small one, as a treat.
Fuck, I laughed too hard at this.
Cold turkey would not work anyway
News channels should have a ticker for school shootings like days accident free
The 0 would cause burn-in in oled screens
well it would scroll like the rest of the tickers
This makes me wonder, when was the last day that the US actually experienced 0 school shootings?
It’s already been 2 days since the last mass shooting, and the number of school shootings per year never exceed the number of days in a year, so it’s safe to say we still have gaps, but especially in recent years, the numbers are… not looking good.
As in: just 15 days out of all of 2023 would have had no school shootings, if there was only 1 per day.
Do kids go to school every day of the year? I thought they where free on weekends and hollidays.
I acknowledge your point but in fairness the question was when was the last day we experienced no school shootings
It also means if we take out the weekends and holidays from the equation that there were more school shootings than school days in that year.
So, technically last Sunday, probably.
Then you need to consider unreported school shootings.
If somebody goes on a Sunday and starts shooting, will they know if the bullet holes are new or from the last shooting?
My sides, that hurts in more ways than one.
Kinda depressing to think it doesn’t stop during the weekends. Fairnff that that was the question tho.
and the number of school shootings per year never exceed the number of days in a year
Well, it wouldn’t be as noteable if the school shooting happened when kids are not at school. If we go by the oen that seems most common, there’s 180 school days in the US (because no other countries need these kinds of staticstics),2025 is even on track for missing 1 a day, since it’s on 159, and we’re almost at the christmas break.
But it is close, and other years after 2021 have been 250+ which is more than 1 per school day, according to your source.
Not sure why the school shootings increased drastically after 2021. 🤷
Damn, that’s insane. I live in the UK, so my exposure to this stuff is mostly either a regular throughline of offhanded jokes about Americans and their guns, and occasionally the news becoming dominated by an especially bad shooting. We’re quite separated from the constant reality of it, because so much of it does just fade into the background, to be highlighted only as statistics
All the students at my local high school staged a coordinated walk out without any adult intervention to march and protest the gun violence on campus. Hundreds of kids. It didn’t even make the news.
Props to them. I’m always heartened to see how much more politically engaged the younger generation is compared to mine.
About 3000 school shootings since 1966, so very frequently

what the actual fuck
Last Sunday, 'cause no school?
Sunday School?
Also, from what I’ve read so far there wasn’t one on the 1st, so it seems odd they’d specifically single out the 2nd
Probably some time during the Clinton administration, if not even longer ago.
What about the Covid period? Kinda hard to have a school shooting when kids aren’t going to school, I’d imagine.
The zoom shootings were just sort of embarrassing for everyone involved, so they stopped doing them.
Imagine one guy in Zoom going “POP POP POP POP POP” in front of his computer and the other kids switching off their cameras one by one as they are “hit”.
Don’t make it a game pls. Like I know we are desensitized because it happens often but making it grandiose only adds to the confusion. There should be 0 zoom shootings like there should be 0 school shootings in an academic year
Kinda hard to have a school shooting when kids aren’t going to school
LifeDeath finds a way
It was just for the statistics ,nothing personal
The streak is sacrosanct.
Propaganda here boys…no way cops would enter a school under attack as shown in photo.
They just tape it off and hang out normally.
no no, you’ve got it all wrong. The school day is almost over and no shooting has occurred yet, so they are here to correct that.
Ah, they are there to shoot the black kids in self defense?
FYI: A “school shooting” is anytime a gun is discharged on school grounds. If I go shoot the soccer field on a Saturday afternoon, that counts.
And the San Francisco shooting? That was one kid purposefully going after another. It was a fight with a gun involved, not some random kid shooting the place up.
All these idiots freaking out over this fact about the United States don’t realize it’s also counting people bringing their guns to the schools on Saturday afternoons to shoot into soccer field.
Only me and you are the smart ones.
Yeah. Or just a regular one on one non-mass-shooting gunfight in the school premises.
We can have a little shooting, as a treat
It was a fight with a gun involved, not some random kid shooting the place up.
Oh ok well that’s fine then.
Is it me, or it sounds like you’re trying to make excuse for this?
