Getting shot doesn't count when counting gun violence and shootings?

I'm not even an advocate of gun control or proposing any oughts to the situation right now, this is just the state of affairs.


Lets be real. The much looser definition of mass shooting is clearly being used to get a higher number to be used as a scare tactic to exaggerate the problem and to push for gun control and Democrat support.
Actual homicide rates, firearm homicide rates, and violent crime rates have plummeted since the 90s, but that doesn't sound as good to anti-gun lefties as someone saying there is an 'epidemic' of gun violence. (*cough* Bernie is a lying sack of shit *cough*)

All capital punishment is horrible, from drawing and quartering to the gas chamber.

You know the white South African police pioneered necklacing on the black populace. Payback is a bitch.


Eh, lots of methods are pretty painless.

Lots are unimaginably horrific.

More than one way to skin a cat. All ends the same way. The worse punishments were saved for the worse offenders. Necklacing only happened against black bureaucrats and black policemen of apartheid and only while the media was actively watching. Ending a life is the true horror, regardless of whether it takes a minute or ten to do it, firing squad or burned at the stake or being injected with a chemical that will make you contort so bad your bones break if you weren't strapped down. Existence is cruel.

Yes, state sponsored murder and other forms retributive justice is the lowest form of justice. Restorative justice is the highest form of justice.

Seems like your last sentence defies all the previous ones.

Death is far better than torture.

Are you talking about the terrorist attack on Planned Parenthood? It is a little different when the terrorists are indigenous and domestic I guess.

As for the second meme, women were always the "other sex'. Man is defined through biology, psychology, history, philosophy, and woman has always been its +1.

Read The Second Sex and you'll get a better understanding of why that meme is internally illogical.
