A Trump supporter with a tattoo of a leftist Social Liberalism organization on his arm...

This guy did not know who or what he was supporting. He was obviously an attention whore and a nutjob.

Sounds like the majority of 'current thingers'

whats the going average per year in the states?

Atleast one a week this year alone.

 

[Pox]

Atleast one a week this year alone.

They are on an average of about 2 a day, but the precise definition isn't clear.

 

[Vorastra]

Every time.

Lol. Crime is much higher in SA. Your chances of getting shot there is way less.

Lol...yes it is. But do you REALLY think I'd want to take our kids to America where they practice, and regularily!, armed intruder drills?

Reality check much?

the difference is that here you more or less know what to expect, and you can adjust your behaviour

over there these incidents are significantly more random

Statistically, if you go to a gathering or the mall or school in ZA, you're more likely to come out alive. It's a different case once you step out of these places.

LOL! That can't be true.

LOL! That can't be true.

Maybe not true but how often do we hear of random shootings at schools or malls in ZA?

Talk to me about the murder rate here for SA.

 

[ForceFate]

Talk to me about the murder rate here for SA.

Very high. You're more likely to be killed in ZA than in the US. That's not in dispute. However, you're less likely to die from targeted mass shooting event in ZA. A random stranger opening fire at random people at school or at the mall is almost unheard of in ZA.
