    No, I’m referring to events rightly called “massacres”

    Like so?

    Killing events where 20 is a rounding error.

    Goalposts status: moved.

    You can look this stuff up.

    I did. It’s how I learned about this stuff. But you, in the meantime, apparently think that

    trigger happy riot officer killing someone

    Is totally different and not at all a symptom of overall system. Cool. Don’t forget to keep your hands on the wheel in a traffic stop, lest an acorn falls.

      Okay so you reached back 40 years and found an event where the government made 250 people homeless and killed 6 people.

      Using a bombing raid.

      Let’s see what I can find in the other column …

      Oh look, a few weeks ago the government of Myanmar killed 30 civilians

      So by reaching back to May I was able to find a massacre, in a country with a civilian weapons ban, five times larger than the on you found by reaching back to 1985, in a country with an armed populace.

      Do you suppose they dropped bombs on these civilians?

      So far thar’s two data points. Shall we continue one for one comparing the massacres of unarmed populations to those of armed populations?
