France suffered more casualties (murders and injuries) from mass public shootings in 2015 than the US has suffered during Obama's entire presidency (UPDATED 532 to 396) 8 Jan , 2016 http://ift.tt/1PjWhDV "But we are the only advanced country on Earth that sees this kind of mass violence erupt with this kind of frequency. It doesn't happen in other advanced countries. It's not even close. And as I've said before, somehow we've become numb to it and we start thinking that this is normal." -President Obama, announcing his new executive orders on guns, January 7, 2016 "The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. And there's some steps we could take, not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently." -President Obama, interview that aired on CBS Evening News, Dec. 2, 2015 "With respect to Planned Parenthood, obviously, my heart goes out to the families of those impacted. ... I say this every time we've got one of these mass shootings: This just doesn't happen in other countries." -Obama, news conference at COP21 climate conference in Paris, Dec. 1, 2015 "We are the only advanced country on Earth that sees these kinds of mass shootings every few months." -Obama, statement on shootings at Umpqua Community College, Roseburg, Ore., Oct. 1, 2015 "You don't see murder on this kind of scale, with this kind of frequency, in any other advanced nation on Earth." -Obama, speech at U.S. Conference of Mayors, June 19, 2015 "At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn't happen in other places with this kind of frequency. And it is in our power to do something about it." -Obama, statement on the shooting in Charleston, S.C., June 18, 2015 Yet, despite the impression that President Obama has been creating, France suffered more casualties (murders and injuries) from mass public shootings in 2015 than the US has suffered during Obama's entire presidency (Updated 532 to 396). Note that these numbers don't adjust for the fact that the US has 4.98 times the population of France. The per capita rate of casualties in France is thus 8.19 per million and for the US it is 1.22 - France's per capita rate of casualties is thus 6.68 times higher than the rate in the US. A systematic look at mass public shootings from the US and Europe is available here . UPDATE : The number of people injured in the California attack was raised from 17 to 21, thus increasing the US causality total to 396. The number of people injured in the Paris attacks on November 13th has also been increased from 352 to 368 and the number of people killed by one from 129 to 130 so the total casualties for Paris alone is now 525. UPDATE: February 4, 2016. If only by excellent police work and some luck, last November Paris was literally just three days away from several more mass public shootings planned for a nursery school, a shopping mall, and a police station.
