118 shootings in 2012 doesn't add up to a shooting a day to me, does it add up to 365 shootings a year to you?

... ...

You're getting close but you only listed "GANG" shootings. Gang shootings represented about half of those in 2012. Keep looking.

The article also states that the rest of the shootings are domestic violence related, then a portion are suicide related. So I am calling BS on your claim, unless you wish to prove me wrong which you have yet to so since you made your outlandish claim.

You didn't list the number of the "Rest of the shootings", only the Gangland.

And you have provided no information. Actually gang violence is something you have to be concerned a out. Let me know if you ever find the information to back up your own claim.

You seem to have lost a "B". But good advice if you choose Gresham or North Portland.

Ah yes, phone typo error, good that you caught it.....shame you can't provide the information to back up your own claims, but you have the ability to try and deflect like a politician. Let me know when you find your data that can back up your own claims.

You can't have others do all the work for you. I posted the facts I found. If you think they are wrong, prove it.

You posted the facts you "found" yet haven't posted any links to where those "facts" come from. Your notebook of "facts" that you scribble down while watching the evening news doesn't count.

You should just give it up. I've been pressing for the same thing for over a year now and always get "Not everything is posted on the Internet," and "you need to open your eyes more."

Yeah, seems to be a common trend with this poster, which is a shame because I was honestly interested where their information came from and was looking forward to having a real discussion on this topic, but it seems the poster just wishes to resort to random antics when cornered with a question.
