Teenage girl kills classmate and herself in Russia school shooting
Teenage girl kills classmate and herself in Russia school shooting
At least one teenager airlifted to a Moscow hospital as five people wounded, local authorities say
I can only imagine how desperate and helpless an entire generation of children feel in Russia right now, with their fathers sent to die in a worthless war.
School shootings aren't going to win you American support, Russia. Stay in your lane.
They don't need to, that's what the bribes and social media are for
Meh, leave it to Russia to bungle the whole concept of school shootings. If less than two kids get killed, that's just a normal school day here in America. And really what is so tragic about kids getting shot? Life is best to those who live the least of it.
Fucking wow, a mod deleted a whole comment chain because it wasn't directly related to the post. That's pretty fucked. So much for being able to have any sort of discussion here.
Got it mod. No conversation between Lemmy users. Yes sir. Way to be so much fucking better than reddit, huh?
Yeah, there's a lot of censorship going on here.
The modlog is nice, but it's still possible for entire chains to be wiped from view if the post at the top gets removed.
I think we should have the option to see what mods censor. That way everyone wins.
Wtf is this comment trying to say?
Are shootings that occur near a school but don't involve any students let alone kids really school shootings? Not enough people look at the details of reported "school shootings". They are massively inflated with events that I would not consider a school shooting.
How is that any better? So when a shooting isn't at a school but near it it doesn't danger the children at all? Is there a magic barrier? I mean ye, it's not technically a school shooting but it is still fucking mental. The anxiety those kids would feel when they hear shots, "am I gonna die now?". No child should be afraid like that, the adults are failing them in the States.
Oh shit guys yeah Phew thanks. We can all relax now. No need to do anything .

Or you could stop believing every bullshit thing that the anti-gun groups make up...you know it's bad what NPR can't find everything they report as true and calls into question what's real.
Yes, let's not rush into to taking any sort of precaution to protect our kids. Much better to have this wild West situation we have going on now just in case me, Clyde, and Peepaw need to go toe-to-toe with the US Government in some sort of hypothetical hyperbolic David vs Goliath scenario. Totes makes fucking sense, dunnit.
As a gun owner, I recognize how absolutely lax the gun laws are. Let them make it harder to buy a gun. It won't hurt you. At least then I know fucking "Off-His-Meds" Jeb down the street from me won't be able to buy an AR-15 and mow down my family because my weeds keep "blowing on his lawn" or whatever inane shit he constantly yells as me about.
Maybe you could stop being susceptible to all of the gun lobbyists arguments and learn to think for yourself at some point. I don't know. That's just my 2¢. Maybe once you have a kid or grandkid going through school your tune will change.
Just look at counties without school shootings, the answer is pretty obvious: none of them have... video games, mental illness, or Democrats.
The fact that they don't have an insane amount of privately owned firearms, or the ability to purchase them legally, easily, and with barely any restrictions, is just a coincidence. Definitely not relevant.
And Ajit Pai just joined
NPRThe American Public TV Board of Trustees. I'm not entirely certain if they and NPR are the same organization.so I'm sure the journalistic integrity is going into his giant Reese's Mug, to be thrown in the toilet.https://indiawest.com/ajit-pai-elected-to-public-television-board-of-trustees/
Edit: found the article, will leave the original text up as the sentiment remains the same, just struck out.
So far, anti-gun groups have never made up anything. They don't have to, the stats are there for anyone who isn't completely ignorant to see for themselves. Two mass murders in the U.S. in the past two days, and this is what you come up with? It's no wonder humanity is plummeting into mass murder and insanity keeps rising.
The worst is the Gun Violence Archive and their "mass shooting index" which gets quoted uncritically in the media, so you get headlines like:
https://abcnews.go.com/US/mass-shootings-days-2023-database-shows/story?id=96609874
"There have been more mass shootings than days in 2023, database shows
The United States has experienced 627 mass shootings so far this year."
The problem is they define "mass shooting" differently from how the public sees a mass shooting.
Their definition is a shooting event where 4 or more people are injured or killed.
So were there 627 events similar to the UNLV situation where a nut with a gun shows up in a public place and starts shooting indescriminately?
No.
Most of the shootings listed on the Gun Violence Archive are situations where there was a party, alcohol or drugs were involved, two parties got into an argument, the argument turned into a fight, and people got shot. That's not how most people define a "mass shooting".
I'd argue for a mass shooting definition of "person(s) arrive at a public location with the sole intention of shooting as many people as possible."
That would rule out the bar fight incidents, or robberies gone bad, or people who go nuts and kill their family in their own house. We should distinguish between psychotic episodes that put the public at risk, vs. normal crime, vs. domestic vioence that does not involve the general public.
So Russia can list all of their school shootings for the past couple years with details in a condensed lemmy bot post….. very tragic still but damn it usa needs gun reform legislation nationally.
I don’t think we could list all of our school shootings in the past month this concisely, let alone going as far back as the 2020’s.

We literally can. Because the vast majority of reported school shootings never happened.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The 14-year-old girl walked into her school in Bryansk, in western Russia, close to the Ukrainian border, with a shotgun registered in the name of her father, according to local authorities.
“The families of the killed girl and injured children will be provided all the necessary assistance,” Mr Bogomaz said on the messaging app Telegram.
Alexey Kuznetsov, Russia's deputy health minister, said one victim was undergoing surgery, without specifying details.
In March, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Ms Lvova-Belova and Russian President Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes, accusing them of responsibility for the abduction of children from Ukraine.
In September 2022, a gunman opened fire in a school in central Russia, killing 17 people and wounding 24 others before shooting himself dead.
In May 2021, a man opened fire at students at his former high school in the Russian city of Kazan, killing nine people including seven children.
The original article contains 347 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 56%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The middle paragraph is so disjoint. It's only mildly more relevant in the full article.
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said the teenager killed one of her classmates and that it was looking into a motive.
Gun was her father's.
