Countries ranked in descending order by number of school shootings from 2009-2018:
- United States: 288
- Mexico: 8
- South Africa: 6
- Afghanistan: 3
- Brazil, Canada, France: 2
- Azerbaijan, China, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Kenya, Russia, Turkey: 1
One of these is not like the others. This isn’t exactly a fact of life in other parts of the world.

Per capita?
Population of the US: 330m
Brazil: 200m
South Africa: 62m
Afghanistan: 40m
Mexico: 100m
Still not looking so great.
Per gun? Guns are people too, right?
That sounds like a lot more work than just typing a country into DDG and checking the Wikipedia entry.
That’s all just shooting, right, not generally a violence situation in a school?
“‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens”
- Force unwanted children into this world
- Give no childcare support
- Send them to underfunded schools
- Offer no mental healthcare programs
- Make guns readily available
- “Facts of life”
In the US…yes. Those are facts of life.
Trump gets shot at and the country says there is no room for political violence, we wish him well. Children get shot every single day, that’s just a matter of life, child-sized coffin sales sky-rocket.
But really, why aren’t more politicians being shot? I think if they were the targets instead of innocent children, gun reform would be both swift and severe.
Now, I’m not saying that political violence is acceptable, but I’m certainly not not saying it.
Becauss the people who go out and try to solve their problems with violence on a scale that would give us that pattern are the republican base. There are plenty of examples outside of that group, obviously, but even the guy who tried to shoot Trump had been a republican until very shortly before the attempt.
Children get slaughtered en masse in their classrooms: 😴
A drag queen reads a children’s book to children: 😡
The state of everything is so fucked for my brain to even go this direction… But your comment made me think the following:
Well, in their (the conservative’s) heads, yes. A dead kid isn’t one that will grow up and eventually vote against them and their hateful ideologies after being around the same things that conservatives demonize.
Edit: Not implying that conservatives want children dead. (That is clearly not the case given their stance on contraception and women’s reproductive rights.) But, that they don’t care about kids dying to gun’s, because “MUh 2nD amendmEnT RigHTS shAn’t be INFRIngeD uPoN”, and that they view children that have attended these drag events as having been indoctrinated and mentally harmed/abused. That scares them more.
Comedian Geoffrey Asmus said something like, “I don’t understand why Republicans are anti-abortion. Isn’t abortion just dead liberals?”
Notice how Vance and the other right-wing pricks don’t apply the same reasoning to abortion. Nope, in THAT case they can come up with law after law after law to address the issue. When it comes to the lives of children already here? Pfffttt… perish the thought and the child.
Yeah, in the United States. Not in other western countries. Wonder why, JD? Maybe because it’s a “fact of life” that’s created and sustained by people like you…
Conservatism is a deadly cancer that needs to be eradicated to save humanity. There is no place in a modern culture for toxic, hate-based ideologies like conservatism. That’s just a fact of life.
A fact of American life because of idiotic gun policy.
JD Vance is a couch fucking sociopath.
School shootings (and JD Vance) are symptoms of a diseased society.
No, no it isn’t.
-residents of like 98% of the rest of the world
Just as natural as love between a man and a couch.
… in America. Fixed that for you
“You cat ladies just need to make more babies to replace the children killed by gunfire in schools,” said the not insane guy who wants to rule the country and women’s bodies under Project 2025.
Jokes aside, Trump is clearly falling apart. The Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society have gone all-in on Vance. He’s the real would-be dictator. Once elections become rigged at the federal level, he will be President and your vote won’t matter.
