JAMA attributes mass shootings to shit they made up
From CNN:
Structural racism may contribute to mass shootings, study says
Mass shootings in major metropolitan areas in the United States disproportionately affect Black people, and structural racism may play a role, according to a study published on Wednesday in the journal JAMA Surgery.
Researchers at Tulane University analyzed data relating to the 51 largest metropolitan areas, including demographic and income data as well as reports of mass shootings from 2015 to 2019 compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit organization that tracks gun violence in the US.
CNN and the Gun Violence Archive define a mass shooting as a shooting that injured or killed four or more people, not including the shooter.
The study found that in areas with higher Black populations, mass shootings are likelier to occur compared to communities with higher White populations. There are also more Black people injured and killed when mass shootings take place, the findings say.
The first thing to note is how they count mass shootings.
I actually agree with this definition. The problem is that the media likes to focus is only on high profile mass shootings, which skews the data.
This definition covers gang shooting, shootings at house parties (which are usually gang related), drive by shootings, and other violent incidents that aren’t what the news portrays as mass shootings.
Once this is understood, it explains exactly why JAMA came to the conclusion that it did.
They were expecting angry white men shooting up schools and churches and got gangs shooting other gangs at drug deals and house parties.
Researchers intended to find whether mass shootings are a consequence of structural racism, which they described as “the normalized and legitimized range of policies, practices, and attitudes that routinely produce cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color.”
Since they didn’t get the results they were looking for, they need to come up with some bullshit to explain it.
So they take black gangs shooting other black gangs and turn it into the white man’s fault through thr nebulous concept of structural racism.
They correlated the cities’ Black-White segregation index, demographic data, poverty rates, educational attainment and crime rates.
Chicago had the greatest number of mass shootings during that period with 141, which led to 97 deaths and 583 injuries. According to the study, Milwaukee had the highest segregation index, which tracks racial disparities in schools and neighborhoods, while Baltimore had the highest unemployment rate.
Cleveland had the greatest income inequality.
Researchers said the study did not find a link between income and mass shooting events, but further research may be needed to define how income equality and poverty have an influence in mass shootings.
It’s not a simple as being poor and not having a job means more mass shootings. The Left has consistently pushed the poverty causes crime idea for decades. If only some people were given more welfare, affirmative action, or some other program, there would be less violence.
A little yes, but fundamental, there is a criminal element in society that exists independently of other economic factors.
Chicago gang culture is that factor, but they can’t acknowledge that. So they have to study it some more, which means figuring out the linguistic bullshit to explain how this is still the white man’s fault.
This is amazing because we’re watching in real time people have an obvious answer from the data and trying to use it as confirmation bias to their ideology.
This is anti-gun hackery, not science by any means.
I didn’t have thr Starship Troopers movie on my dystopian bingo card
For the last few years, it seems that the Left has turned every dystopian science fiction into reality. Everywhere you look you can see aspects of 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and even Demolition Man in real life.
I never expected the terrible Starship Troopers movie to be one of those fictions made real.
I was wrong.
An 18-year-old military recruit forced to shower with biological males as part of the Biden administration’s transgender policies is complaining about being placed in an “extremely uncomfortable position.”
The report was first raised at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday. The girl is afraid to speak out of fear it will harm her career, Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) told Fox News Digital in an interview. Her options were slim and included resigning from her early-career position.
It was believed raising the matter in a complaint could have harmful impacts on the new recruit’s military career.
According to Rounds, the military recruit, 18, is complaining about being forced to sleep in between “two individuals who were supposedly changing from male to female.” The girl also has to shower with the individuals and reported significant distress about the matter. The individuals housed with the 18-year-old had initiated chemical interventions to change genders, but without having reassignment surgery, their genitalia were fully intact.
Who can forget this NSFW scene?
The military has coed naked showers, except that it’s much less sexy and a lot more horrifying.
Honestly, this wasn’t on my bingo card, but this is where we are.
Why do I need an AR15 and boatloads of ammo?

Rhode v. Becerra (Bonta) S.D. Cal. short update
Judge Benitez is hearing this case. I believe there are a few other cases he is hearing as well. Earlier this month there was a hearing. He has now set the schedule for the trial on the merits.
This is the point at which he will hear all the evidence, decide which are “facts” and from there he will issue his opinion.
On June 30, 2023, judge Benitez set a hearing date of July 17, 2023, at 1400. He issued the following order:
Pursuant to F.R.C.P. 65(a)(2), the Court intends to consolidate the hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction with a trial on the merits. At or prior to the hearing, the parties should be prepared to address, among other things:
- The Plaintiffs’ continuing Article III standing;
- Whether Plaintiffs’ conduct is covered by the text of the Second Amendment;
- Relevant historical analogues;
- The Dormant Commerce Clause (First Claim for Relief);
- Preemption by 18 U.S.C. § 926A (Ninth Claim for Relief);
- Whether judicial deference is owed to laws produced by ballot measure Proposition 63;
Applicability of footnote 9 in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111 (2022);
Whether additional discovery is necessary, and if so, the specific discovery needed.
—Rhode v. Becerra, No. 3:18-cv-00802 (S.D. Cal.)
The state responded with:
First, Defendant intends to request at the hearing an opportunity to engage in discovery, which has not yet occurred in this case. See Dkt. No. 81 at 9. Defendant will request an opportunity to depose Plaintiffs and declarants, particularly with respect to Article III standing. Defendant will also propose that the parties be afforded an opportunity to engage in expert discovery concerning relevant history to inform the Court’s evaluation of Plaintiffs’ Second Amendment claim under New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111 (2022).
Second, Defendant may submit additional documentary evidence at the hearing in support of his arguments that the challenged Ammunition Laws, enacted by Proposition 63, as amended by Senate Bill 1235, are constitutional. Defendant intends to mark and introduce any such exhibits at the hearing.
—Rhode v. Becerra, No. 3:18-cv-00802 (S.D. Cal.)
The state isn’t willing to tell the court, in writing, before the hearing what their arguments and evidence are. They are reserving that for the day of the hearing.
