Reader Mal sent me this one crazy Gun Controller making hay of another California Mass Killing that happened in Thousand Oaks, CA last night:
Never mind that the first number is the totals for death, never mind that the second number is the total for injuries, adding everything you can’t come up with the 48,946 deaths she is spouting, I can only come with 42,071.
Here is the kicker:
Now, Do I continue to be polite and say she is just plain stupid even for a match teacher or go straight for she is another gun control liar?
Either choice can’t do math and assume the rest of the world can’t either.
Wow, I sure hope she isn’t involved in the recount to send Rick Scott’s dumb ass back to Naples instead of Washington. I know you didn’t allow comments on the Rick Scott thing but I just have to say it, I’m praying that the Democratic stronghold and Broward holds up and Bill Nelson goes back to Washington. I’m not really that excited about Bill Nelson, but at least I know what to expect from him which is not much. Rick Scott, on the other hand I just can’t stand the idea of him going to Washington.
You are confusing mathematics with arithmetic. And, from what I understand, you get credit in mathematics for showing your work. So while her number may be wrong, give her credit for showing her work.
This explains so much. Liberal politicians that that think free medicare for all will cost less than our current system must have been taught math by the likes of Ms. Carter.
P.s If you’re of an age that forces you to be on Medicare you know it ain’t free.
Consider the possibility that Ms. Carter’s mathematics specialty was Hollywood Accounting. Since Hollywood, gun control and fake numbers are a large intersecting set this explains her post.
The thing is, every person in the last five categories is already listed in one of the first two categories (e.g., everyone listed in Mass Shootings was either killed or injured). That means that adding the last five categories to the first two double-counts people. In fact, if the perpetrator of a mass shooting is then killed by police, he shows up three times (Deaths, Mass Shootings and Officer Involved Incident [Suspect Killed]).
This could be due to incompetence (some combination of ignorance and stupidity) on the part of this retired math instructor. I suspect it’s a deliberate, malicious attempt to play on the ignorance she thinks exists in the general public.
The time for nice is over.
Hit ’em hard, hit ’em fast, make ’em wish they were never born.
MOAB all the things.
She’s from Albuquerque. Probably taught at the Albuquerque Public Schools district – which is one of the worst in the nation.
