Sailer’s Law of Mass Shootings Tested in Kenosha
19th April 2021
Last night in a tavern in Kenosha, WI, three men were murdered and three more (and possibly a fourth) were wounded.
As you’ll recall, Sailer’s Law of Mass Shootings (four or more casualties) says that if there are more wounded than dead, then the shooter was probably black, but in the rarer cases where there are more dead than wounded, the shooter was probably nonblack. But what do you do when there are as many dead as wounded?
One tiebreaker is whether the mass shooting’s setting involved fun (probably black) vs. not fun such as school, church, or work (probably nonblack). This was a bar, so the tiebreaker would point toward a black shooter with above average aim.
