This year has been deadlier for American students than US military members

The frontlines of American warfare are now in America's classrooms.

More people have been murdered in schools so far this year than have been killed while serving in the U.S. military, according to statistics.

Accounting for the 10 people shot to death at a Houston-area high school Friday, 31 people – an overwhelming majority of whom were students – have been killed at schools since Jan. 1, according to data compiled by The Washington Post. Twenty-nine U.S. service members have been killed in the same time period, including both combat and noncombat deaths, according to the Pentagon.

You know, it's a detail, but it's sort of an important detail to get right when it's the fucking headline of the article, and they didn't:

Three of the first six people listed are adults, and not students. So at most 28 students were killed.

The headline is a lie.

Wanna know why people distrust the MSM as widely as they distrust Trump? It's shit like this.

Just some numbers to put things in perspective. The war inside America is killing more Americans than its external war. I remember reading once that if any third world nation had as many citizens killed each day as America does (comparison adjusted for population size) the UN would declare it to be in a civil war.

Just you wait, TS. The GOP will probably have that soldiers' deaths numbers up soon.

Right. One thing at a time I guess?

Chicago being a violent shithole of gang violence doesn't negate the fact that America has another massive problem with gun violence in schools.
