Fletch

itstricky, I’m trying to point out that many of these shootings have nothing whatsoever to do with those in a school apart from the physical location – like a suicide in the carpark at midnight by an adult, or a robbery or gang war that happens to intersect with the location of the school. These aren’t “school shootings”, and it is dishonest to lump them in a list under the heading “shootings since Sandy Hook” and broadcast that. They know damn well what image that puts in the public mind by using Sandy Hook. It is disingenuous.

Disingenuous, it may be, but you’re not disproving a gun problem. Changing the category doesn’t make someone’s untimely death at the end of a bullet disappear, either. You make no mention of that and that is, in itself, also disingenuous given the topic.

Just watched the haka precluding the ABs and Georgia match and it’s occured to me that as it’s been forced upon the world that NZ’s national anthem is sung in two languages, then it’s only right that the haka be sung in the same two languages.
