I have to honestly wonder how many of these are false flags. It’s happening far too often now as we gear up for another election cycle. The Dems are always about gun control as we know, and the economy isn’t going to help them win anything anytime soon.
This was 2 groups - probably a gang shooting. Southeast Colorado Springs, where this happened, has a higher crime rate than the rest of Colorado Springs
Incorrect, the trend is an increase in the number of mass shootings since the start of the year compared with the same time period last year. Facts.....
And did they include - gangland mass shootings last year?
Colorado is already on their 3rd mass shooting since the beginning of the year.
Seems like El Paso County, Colorado averages a mass shooting a month on average. They had a mass shooting in late November in that same county, then on February 5th another mass shooting and then another mass shooting tonight.
Denver had a mass shooting on January 8th in the middle of it's downtown.
Another Colorado Springs mass shooting a short-drive from a nightclub shooting just a few months ago.
Last Mass Shooting in Democrat Jared Polis Colorado was in a suburban area adjacent to Colorado Springs on February 5th
From the thread title, I take it that you blame Jared Polis for these mass shootings. After the shootings in Uvalde and El paso, did you start a thread about mass shootings in "Greg Abbott's Texas"? How about "Ron DeSantis' Florida" - four mass shootings there this year already? Back in November there were 11 killed in mass shootings in "Glenn Youngkin's Virginia" and in January, 8 killed in "Spencer Cox's Utah".
Every city is going to have some shady areas. If you want to blame this fact on a city's political leanings, then I guess conservatives are to blame for any gun violence in the Springs. And what do you mean by "no mention of race"? Are you suggesting that OP has gone woke on us all?
It's a Blue State, that's why you have violence at a City level Forgot, only Leftist can use that ridiculous statement
What is wrong with people these days? There certainly is A LOT of anger out there and people are ready to settle it with extreme violence.
The other day at a mall near me we had a stabbing. The people involved knew each other and it was some dumb beef that had the 15 year old repeatedly stab the 17 year old in the chest.
If the kid had a gun I'm sure he would have shot him instead.

16 out of the 50 American cities with the highest crime rates were located in blue states, while 34 were located in red states. That comes to 68% of cities with the highest rates of crime located in red states. Applying your reasoning, the reason such a large percentage of US cities have such a high rate of crime at the city level is because they are located in red states.
Makes sense to me, especially since red states are always talking about starting a civil war and conservatives have turned their guns into objects of worship. The conservative attitude is one that openly encourages violence as a way of solving any problem as the residents of the cities above have discovered to their sorrow.
Nice try, but most of those cities don’t even have 100,000 people. A little bit of violence shows up as a big blip. So you’re telling me Chicago is safer than Billings?…right
