[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3785006, member: 3099"] That spectacularly confirmed my recollection. I just had a conversation (before seeing this article) that these always seem much worse under democratic administrations. I was thinking back and Clinton had some, Bush had some, Obama had a crap ton of them, Trump very few. Now Biden is telling Obama "hold my beer". Note that per the article Obama had as many as the three prior presidents did combined. When I saw the number of mass murders the other day's shooting I just didn't believe it was that high. So I looked it up and sure enough it was legit. My hypothesis is that Biden has set the country so far back on so many fronts and the overall depression of the country is so bad that's it's causing these numbers to fly through the roof. Those don't include the nightly gun battles in Chicago either, if you add that in there's no way to compare and that crap didn't start under Biden anyway. The politicos either need to get used to these happening or chart another political course. Other things that are different now is the instantaneous news cycle the web provides. Social media and instantaneous news coverage are now a true menace. Instant notification just amplifies the outrage, causing copycats and inspiring other societal outcasts to act. Reagan didn't acknowledge these mass shootings. Bush was slow to do so and took heat for it. Even Clinton kept his comments tempered to the "non-political side" at least for a time anyway. Prior presidents to Johnson in the '60s didn't act on national disasters at all because it was in the purview of the States to do so instead of the federal government. I think there's a lesson in that and Biden is going to use it like there's no tomorrow to do the opposite and fan the political flames. And all the media throughout the world is going to gleefully help him do it... [/QUOTE]
