Speaking of statistics, here’s an interesting phrase that I just recently learned about: “Stochastic terrorism is inciting violence through rhetoric, but not explicitly. Instead, stochastic terrorism foments violence with implicit calls to arms and dog whistles, knowing that someone in the audience will eventually execute the implicit call. So the violence is ‘statistically predictable but individually unpredictable’, and, importantly, the speaker can plausibly deny any connection to the bloodshed.” —Rachel Laser, head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State
The statistics I’m most interested in is not what percentage of either murders or mass shootings are committed by white vs. black people but rather what percentage of the world’s mass shootings occur in the USA, with its 4% of the world’s population. Does anyone know?
Trump administration’s relationship with Proud Boys ‘will be the subject’ of future J6 Committee hearings
Future House Select Committee hearings are going to detail the Trump administration’s relationship with the far-right Proud Boys gang, according to a new filing by the United States Department of Justice.
As flagged by CBS News’ Scott MacFarlane, the DOJ argued in a recent court filing that there should be a delay in the trial of several Proud Boys who have been accused of seditious conspiracy for their roles in inciting the January 6th Capitol riots.
The reason for the delay is that the DOJ wants access to full transcripts from the House Select Committee, which it says are essential evidence to both the government’s case and the Proud Boys’ defense.
What’s more, the DOJ specifically says that “the relationship between the Trump Administration and the Proud Boys and other groups will be the subject of a future hearing” from the January 6th Committee.
The DOJ has gathered evidence that the Proud Boys played a central role in inciting the Capitol riots, and they’ve been among the very few January 6th defendants who have been hit with the very serious charge of seditious conspiracy.
Time says: “952 deaths from mass murders since 1982” 54%= 514 deaths by white murderers. I dare you to look at black on black murder numbers since 1982 and tell me there isn’t a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.

What scares me is that those three categories exist in such numbers that you can do statistics on ’em.

That 54% seems way too low. The actual figure is much higher.

You can understand the fear. It doesn’t mean you have to tolerate the behavior.

White grievance, based on perceived threats to White supremacy, is the central theme in all of this.

Black and brown folks wouldn’t have been able to riot that day, even if they’d wanted to. Unlike these rioters, they have jobs to go to.

Looks like the Shameful Men are going down in history as traitors. No wonder Mr Gun Fetish likes them.

The Kids Are Alt – Right, Bad Religion
Jackboots cracking on a polished floor
Red hats gathered in the liquor store
Pure hearts race on a crystal night
Everybody, grab a torch to light
Everybody, need somebody, join the party
The kids are Alt-Right today
Now grab your partner and do-si-do
Populism is a sold-out show
Humanity is a nowhere scene
When everybody has an AR-15
Everybody, need somebody, join the party
The kids are Alt-Right today

So if I understand correctly, whites are 59% of the US population, yet only 54% of mass shooters?
