NYC has the lowest crime rate of any US major city by a lot.

That may be true based on stats which can always be manipulated. But it sure doesn’t feel safer. There was a time when you had no fear riding the subway. Now you are taking your life in your hands just standing on the platform

NYC used to be much more dangerous. Really goes to show how mislead we can be by emotions that you feel it’s only dangeeous now

Was that before or after Bernie Goetz decided to murder people and then he got away with it? Because I’m not sure everyone felt safer after that.

Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it would be categorised or described differently. A mass shooting is a mass shooting, no matter how often it happens.

This sounds more like gang shit
A group of four men fired at least 30 gunshots into a crowd that gathered near the Amazura nightclub

It doesnt matter the reason, its still a mass shooting.

I guess, the term mass shooting just makes me think of one dude going off the rails.
The fact that we need subgenres for this shit is disgusting either way.

It’s important in the sense that if it’s “just gang shit” then people think it’s less random, and so they have some agency to avoid it, which makes it less scary. They’re also not in social groups even close to gangs, so it’s not something that would ever happen to them.

'Merica!
We’ve normalized mass shootings.
