Comment on Lakewood Church shooting suspect identified as transgender woman; 'Free Palestine' written on gun
jimbolauski@lemm.ee 8 months agoPer the Reuters article from 2016 - 2020, trans people accounted for 2.3% of mass shootings but per 2020 census data only account for 0.6% of the population. They are 4x more likely to commit a mass shooting then the rest of the population.
See I can cherry pick stats to make them say what I want to too.

Wow you straight up admitted you were cherypicking. You have no argument so I’ll move on.

The difference between you and I is that I’m honest enough to admit when I’m using cherry picked stats.

Intentionally using cherry picked stats is by definition dishonest.
And I wasn’t using cherry picked stats.

I see you’ve completely missed the point of why I used those stats and disclosed that they are cherry picked. I was hoping it would lead to critical thinking on your part, guess you showed me. I doubt you even know what made the stats I provided cherry picked even though I used two creditable sources census data from 2020 and the secret service study from 2016-2020.
You used mass shooting stats from 2013-2021, then claimed that trans shooters are a low percent. When you look into those numbers you’ll see that starting in 2013 was intentionally dishonest. They pulled that stat down by moving the start date as far to the left as they could. Publicly sharing your whole life on social media is a relatively new phenomenon, relying on the media to discover their picked gender was more difficult than two clicks. That is why the secret service study which went from 2016 - 2020 had a much higher percentage. They relied on actual investigation data instead of searching facebook.
