Every major decision in this country seems to end up going the way the wealthy want.
They definitely want this to have maximum punishment to deter copycats.
This will never happen. You won’t find a jury in the country that will unanimously give a not guilty verdict. Best case is a hung jury twice in a row leading to a mistrial. Worst case they find one of the loopholes that lets the judge decide or they unanimously declare him guilty.
They don’t worry about all the school shootings because their kids go to private school which is a big reason why nothing is done (24 private school shootings vs 392 public school shootings for the past 25 years or so.) The working class families are the victims, so nobody in power really cares beyond lip service.
Hey. That 24 vs 392 number, what’s the percentages? Like how many private schools VS public are we talking about?
Cause that number without context seems extremely misleading. Not trying to start shit. I just don’t know where you got those numbers or where I’d get the totals to compare.
Indeed, numbers on their own are meaningless. Based on this graph, private schools make up 10% of the enrollments. Public schools are 83% and charter schools make up the remaining 7%.
I have no idea where the charter schools are counted when it comes to school shootings though. If they are counted as public we get
Cheers. Not as extreme as the bare numbers hint at, still a big difference.
I wonder why that is? Surely rich children have access to guns, (more than average access?) so is it the security at the school? Or is it mental health care? It is that being rich doesn’t make you as miserable and desperate as a kid? Hmmm.

Private: 24/10 = 2.4 shootings per percent of enrollment Public: 392/(83+7) = 4.36 shootings per percent of enrollmentand if they are counted as private we get
Private: 24/(10+7) = 1.41 shootings per percent of enrollment Public: 392/83 = 4.72 shootings per percent of enrollmentSo either way the public schools have more shootings by almost a factor 2 at least.

They don’t suffer from economic instability, they have solid access to health care, and have a stable home.
