One of the difficulties in writing a blog is trying to figure out what is true. Another problem is not reading as carefully as one should. I screwed up in both cases on a post about the Florida school shooting.
The Miami Herald article that was my basis clearly questioned whether there were 18 school shootings this year. This number was issued by Every Town for Gun Safety. It includes shootings where the only connection of a school to a shooting was that the shooting was near the school. The group included shootings late at night when the schools were closed.
Well, this is the "first mistake" I've made this year. Hopefully, it's the last. But, that's highly unlikely as, being human, I do err reasonably often.
