Mass Killings in the United States (2022)

Some of these vehicular incidents seem to be accidents. Why are they counted?

He counts them if someone is (or could have been if not killed) been charged with a crime. This often includes reckless driving and negligence.

What does this thread serve as? It's a problem sure and it's horrible but just rehashing the daily news serves little purpose besides trying to achieve a political "win" with people who hold no power to fix it.

I have asked this before. I is no real answer other than OP wants to.

He has stated before he has no political motive, it's just a hobby of his to compile a list.

(and since the list includes many deaths not involving guns, it's believable that his motive isn't a commentary on gun accessibility in the US, for example).

I had a theory he lost someone to a mass killing and is why he has such an interest, but then I have a fascination* in missing person cases but do not personally know anyone that has been reported missing, so my theory could be way wrong.
*Not enough interest to compile a list, but love to read about them and wish I could solve them/find them, etc and might be what I spend time doing when I retire or win the lottery.

Oh no, nothing like that. I simply wondered at one point about the number of mass-killings-by-guns as opposed to mass-killings-not-by-guns. From that a creep hobby was born.

I do wonder how many of the vehicular homicides are intentional. I also wonder how many traffic fatalities are really suicides.

I need to lighten up.
