Bloomberg update: "Mass shootings only happen in America"

[paulbot24]

Yes he actually said that. Somebody needs to stop and frisk this man for a brain.

Norway.

And what is remarkable is that the Norwegian people, alleged "socialists", didn't freak out and scream that everybody's rights be taken away and that the shooter be drawn and quartered and everbody placed under surviellance.

War is basically a big mass shooting.

Wasn't it China this week where some guy killed a bunch of students? But he didn't use a gun- he had a sword or knife instead (looks like lots of injuries but no deaths).

BEIJING A man wielding a knife attacked students Friday at a school in central China, leaving 22 children and one adult injured, according to state-run media reports.


The attack occurred at the gate of an elementary school in the village of Chengping, in Henan Province. Police arrested the attacker, who they identified as local resident Min Yingjun, 36.


Children as young as six were among those hospitalized after the attack, suffering injuries including slashes to the ears and head.


An official at Guangshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, the local facility, told CBS News at least two students had been transferred to the larger city of Wuhan, not far from Chengping, for treatment. The editor of the local newspaper which first reported the story said none of the children had injuries severe enough to threaten their lives.


The attack marks the latest in a series of violent assaults at elementary schools in China. In 2010, a total of 18 children were killed in four separate attacks. On March 23 of that year, Zheng Minsheng attacked children at an elementary school in Fujian Province, killing eight.


One month later, just a few hours after Zheng Minsheng was executed for his crime, another man, Chen Kanbing wounded 16 students and a teacher in a knife attack at another primary school in Fujian. The following month, on May 12, a man named Wu Huangming killed seven children and two adults with a meat cleaver at a kindergarten in Shaanxi Province. That attack was followed by an August 4 assault by Fang Jiantang, who killed three children and one teacher with a knife at a kindergarten in Shandong Province.


In 2011, a young girl and three adults were killed with an axe at an elementary school in Henan Province by a 30-year-old man named Wang Hongbin, and eight children were hurt in Shanghai after an employee at a child care center attacked them with a box cutter.


Some Chinese bloggers have blamed the lack of freedom of expression for the attacks, suggesting people frustrated by their own circumstances but lacking the means to seek justice or voice their concerns with the all-powerful communist government, lash out instead at the least powerful members of society.


China's lack of mental health care facilities may also be partly to blame for the attacks. There are almost no mental health care facilities in rural communities, which have experienced dramatic changes over the last several years as China's economy has grown.

Are you silly people trying to confuse a liberal politician with facts?

Bloomburg doesn't care about facts. He's trying to make up your mind for you.

And by the way, Mr. Bloomberg. The guns in the house were all legal (as far as has been revealed).

aHEM!! http://en-maktoob.news.yahoo.com/five-injured-russia-shooting-003211951.html
Moscow, Aug 23 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Five people were injured Wednesday in a random shooting incident at a market in southwest Russia, an official said.
The incident took place in Stavropol.
Five people came to a market and got into a conflict with vegetable sellers. The reason of the conflict was unknown.
The men started firing, as a result of which five people were injured, said Stavropol interior ministry spokesman Yevgeny Arnautov.
He said the suspects fled the scene by car, but the owner of the car was identified.
A witness said five or six people rushed into the market and said they "would establish order here", and then opened fire.
"My son was shot twice, he had two wounds to the chest. Six of my relatives, nephews and brothers, were also injured," a market vendor said.

'Conservative' American Exceptionalism: We are the best and we have to improve everyone else even if we have to shoot them to do it.

'Liberal' American Exceptionalism: We are the worst and we have to improve ourselves before Hollywood exports all our bad habits to the poor, unfortunate rest of the world.

Libertarian American Exceptionalism: We were the best, and can be again--if we stop listening to all those jackasses^^.

Proof that de Tocqueville was right when he said: "In America a minority takes care to supply a number of ready made opinions for the use by the majority, who are thus relieved of the necessity of thinking for themselves."

There is no better description of a gathering of liberals or neocons.
