Tonight I was challenged to write up an article on mass shootings. This has been done many times before as I am learning.
Which means my work will be fairly easy to make this happen.
I was intrigued by a post on my friend’s facebook wall about a mass shooting in Canada, regarding a “Pro-Trump Right-Wing Terrorist, Murders Six People at Mosque”.
This was unique and I responded to it with my shock, and noted that usually mass shooters are liberal/progressives in the USA.
But of course this was Canada, so the other thing that surprised me is that this was a pro-Trump person. Im not seeing the connection, of how this person cared so much about a president that doesn’t govern his country. But ok.
First of all I just want to mention that there are several mass shootings in recent American history that are being challenged as faked.
Recent legislation, and past legislation allow our government to deceive us with “fake news”.
Reference:
Obama Quietly Signs ‘Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act
H.R.5181 – 114th Congress
I recently released a few article showing historical US government based fake news as well, which includes the FBI and CIA “Counter Intelligence Programs”, and the recent Pentagon propaganda videos that the Pentagon paid a UK based PR firm $560 million dollars to create fake terrorist videos during the gulf war.
You can see my article here; https://disruptarian.com/fake-news-is-fake-news/
Now to the mass shooting hoaxes, there is currently a lawsuit regarding the Sandy Hook shooting against the Mainstream Media, which accuses the media of staging the hoax, and references fact on cause of death census for Connecticut that year, telling that the lives allegedly lost in Sandy Hook were not listed on the census.
http://www.newstimes.com/local/article/Sandy-Hook-conspiracy-theorist-wants-to-be-heard-8981298.php
Sandy Hook Hoax: How we know it didn’t happen | Veterans Today
I am not the judge or jury on this lawsuit, so I am not going to make a judgement, it is just best to mention this, since litigation is pending on this issue.
So with that, I am going to attempt to list all of the mass shootings in the USA in the last 20 years, and try to identify if the shooter was liberal or conservative, based on the criteria in the conversation below, which is what challenged me to write this.
Because of a high amount of gang activity, such as in Detroit and Chicago, I will deal with that information separately. This is the same way Mother Jones reports this.
The way we will look at this, is all mass shootings that exclude gang activity and domestic violence.
Reference this list (without notation of the political persuasion)

Tonight I saw a post come up on my feed about a shooting that took place a few hours ago in Quebec Canada.
Pro-Trump Right-Wing Terrorist Murders Six People At Mosque
My response was:
That is interesting. Most of the recent shooters in the news have been far left liberals. Its a rare thing to see this. Especially since he was Canadian.
My friend says:
I don’t know what statistics you are looking at. Seems to be different than the ones I have seen.
I responded with the ones that I could think of, just off the top of my head;
Here are a few of the recent ones.
– Nidal Hasan – Ft Hood Shooter: Registered Democrat and Muslim.
– Aaron Alexis, Navy Yard shooter – black liberal/Obama voter
– Seung-Hui Cho – Virginia Tech shooter: Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff, registered Democrat.
– James Holmes – the “Dark Knight”/Colorado shooter: Registered Democrat, staff worker on the Obama campaign, #Occupy guy,progressive liberal, hated Christians.
– Amy Bishop, the rabid leftist, killed her colleagues in Alabama, Obama supporter.
– Andrew J. Stack, flew plane into IRS building in Texas – Leftist Democrat
– James J. Lee who was the “green activist”/ leftist took hostages at Discovery Channel – progressive liberal Democrat.
– Jared Loughner, the Tucson shooter – Leftist, Marxist. dem mass murder– Ohio bomb plot derps were occupy Wall St leftists.
– Harris and Klebold, the Columbine Shooters – families registered Democrats and progressive Leftists.
– Bill Ayers, Weather Underground bomber – Leftist Democrat.
– Lee Harvey Oswald, Socialist, Communist and Democrat – killed Kennedy
– Omar Mateen – Islamic fundamentalism killed 49 people in a gay nightclub, was revealed by friends and family that he might be homosexual

The other side of the conversation said:
Seriously dude few recent ones? Lee Harvey Oswald isn’t recent. You have the columbine shooters who were highschoolers not even old enough to vote. Go sell that somewhere else. http://time.com/3934980/right-wing-extremists-white-terrorism-islamist-jihadi-dangerous/
My reply was;
and following;
Study: “white terrorists deadlier than Islamic terrorist”
Definitely. I mean Muslims make up such a small fraction of our society. There is no doubt that makes sense.
However, this was not about race. This was about political ideology. Liberals are the most likely mass shooter.
The title of the original article is what I was responding to, which was about political ideology. I was just surprised that this one happened to be a right wing guy. Especially being a Canadian.
Usually, mass shooters are far left liberal extremists.
But saying “it is unlikely for a Muslim to commit crimes in America”. Or “most shooters are white”.
Yes, white people make up 68% of the population. So it makes sense. Why is it always about race?
That is when we got down to settling this up, and writing an article on on mass shootings
The terms are below; (I had a screen shot, but since the other party asked me not to screen shot things (even though I black out names, faces, etc), I gave them that, and told them I would remove the screen shot. I will copy links and words, and paste them however. I mean, I have no problem quoting someone, and that does not violate privacy. And anything I write, is mine, so I will screen shot it)
The basic point is, that first the headline was; “Pro Trump, Right Wing Terrorist Murders Six”
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/accordingtomatthew/2017/01/pro-trump-right-wing-terrorist-murders-six-people-mosque/
Then the next article posted by the other side of this conversation is: “White Terrorist are Deadlier than Islamist in the US“.
http://time.com/3934980/right-wing-extremists-white-terrorism-islamist-jihadi-dangerous/
First it is about political ideology, then about ethnicity.
My point is yes, white people make up 68% of the US population. The Muslim population is 1%.
According to a 2010 study, it is followed by 0.9% of the population, compared to 70.6% who follow Christianity, 22.8% unaffiliated, 1.9% Judaism, 0.7% Buddhism, and 0.7% Hinduism. According to a new estimate in 2016, there are 3.3 million Muslims living in the United States, about 1% of the total U.S. population.
As a point of reference, I used many sources, depending on how comprehensive the information available was. In many of the older cases, the information was vague.
So in some cases I used Wikipedia.org, and in others I used murderpedia.org, there are various other sources throughout the article. I always recommend researching these things yourself.
As a subnote, because I said that I would publish information on the other murders in the USA, here is some data on that;
White males make up around 38% of the population and account for around 38% of murders.
Black males make up around 6.6% of the population and account for around 50% of murders.

- http://www.salon.com/1999/08/16/naacp/
This is the statistical information from the FBI and DOJ:
Yet despite a much lower incident rate with police that white people have, white males are killed at a much higher rate by cops than black people are killed by cops; White suspects account for over 62% of police killings.
Females only make up 6.7% of the prison population, and males make up 93.3% of the prison population. Nothing is truly “equal”, but it is important to look at the underlying reasons why things are the way they are.
Also around the globe the same trend shows. A study in Germany showed that only 15% of mass killings were by right wing people, and the rest were left wingers. It also showed that 92% of left-wing activists still lived with their mum.
