You may have noted over the years that the number of mass shootings widely varies and this is because of the various definitions of mass shootings floating around, and the media just picks the one that advances their narrative. Kevin Downey Jr. raises this point in an article at PJ Media where he points out:
The Rockefeller Institute of Government, a left-leaning "think tank" affiliated with the State University of New York (SUNY), has a different definition of a mass shooting (I added the bold again and will explain why):
A mass shooting is an incident of targeted violence carried out by one or more shooters at one or more public or populated locations. Multiple victims (both injuries and fatalities) are associated with the attack, and both the victims and location(s) are chosen either at random or for their symbolic value. The event occurs within a single 24-hour period, though most attacks typically last only a few minutes. The motivation of the shooting must not correlate with gang violence or targeted militant or terroristic activity.
The commie progs at the Rockefeller Institute have taken it upon themselves to declare that mass shootings "must not correlate with gang violence or targeted militant or terroristic activity." Why? Because they don't want black people or Muslims involved in the mass shooting statistics. The drooling MAGA redneck needs to be their mass shooting boogeyman. If you subscribe to the Gun Violence Archive's definition of a mass shooting, black people, mostly males, are responsible for no fewer than 70% of mass shootings, and that is a conservative figure. Then there are the Muslims. And don't get me started on the transamabob mass shooters... yet.
He goes on to note that other leftist groups have different definitions, but those definitions are still intended to make it appear that whites are responsible for the majority of "mass shootings" and to downplay the role of blacks, Muslims, "and Decepticons who shoot up, among other things, Christian schools."
