  • U.S. school shootings hit another annual record high

  • None of it should be happening is right. I just get a skeezy feeling when articles use language they know will get people thinking one thing when they mean another.

  • It's horrible, don't get me wrong. I worry about my own little one, but the distinction is an order of magnitude of a difference in my head. Like the distinction between a troublemaker throwing a lit match in a trash can vs some maniac dousing a building in gasoline.

  • This is depressing, but it also bothers me that there's such a large distinction between how the average person would picture a "school shooting" and what these articles are talking about. Is there a name for that in journalism?

    Like, if someone told me "there was a school shooting at school X today", like most people I would immediately picture someone walking into the building and firing indiscriminately at everyone. Not, "a couple of teens got in a fight in the parking lot, and one pulled out a gun", or "someone shot at the school's sign". (Which are also horrible, but I feel like we need separate terms)

    From the article:

    According to the report, the most commonly known situations associated with such incidents included "escalation of dispute," "drive-by," "illegal activity," "accidental firing of a weapon" and "intentional property damage."

    Jump

  • It's been an internet thing for long before 2016 (at least mid 00s in my memory), so I don't associate it with them.

  • On one hand, competition is usually good for the end user.

    On the other hand, we have such a better platform for users on the fediverse that I'm not really invested in what either of these weirdos do.
