propaganda at it's finest

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/crime/2015/12/gun_deaths_map_how_many_people_have_died_or_been_injured_in_shootings_around.html

 

I hit this link on reddit earlier and thought "wow, those numbers are surprising". That was until I picked a random selection from Middle TN. Of the 3 I selected:

 

1.)Potential homicide

2.)Accidental discharge

3.)LEO shot and killed a robbery suspect

 

Granted... the map is there to represent shootings, regardless of the reason. But the article specifically calls out "What you’re seeing, then, is gun violence in all its other forms: homicides, attempted murders, assaults, self-defense shootings, and accidents.". I'm sorry but a LEO shooting a robber is not what I consider violent crime.

More indoctrination for the sheep.

Any way they can inflate the numbers, they will use.  They hate the fact that the FBI says murders and crime in general have nothing but go down over the last several years.

All shooting deaths are homicides. If you shoot an armed robber that has a gun in your face and is pulling the trigger; it goes in the homicide column. Edited December 9, 2015 by DaveTN

Has anyone noticed the subliminal BS the drive-by media is pulling with the election? Pictures of the crazy lady are of a smiling face, full posture person with an air of authority. Those of Trump are of him with his face in a distorted shape look and him in a hunch back kinda position. Considering the appearance they show to the camera, which one would you vote for?

Pretty much any pic of Trump wearing his rug looks distorted ...
