and i have a love/hate relationship with statistics, because i feel like sometimes statistics can be used to numb, that sometimes statistics can be used -- if faraji throws me a stat, if you give me five minutes, i can throw a stat that completely contradicts his stat, and the ironic thing is both of them might be right. that's statistics. true. people will forget numbers. and they'll forget stats. but they will not forget the humanity behind what we're talking about. part of the reason that i wanted to do this story in this book in telling stories, part of the reason i wanted to do the other wes moore, a ten-step prescriptive guide for parents, and my publisher said, listen, that sounds interesting, but no one wants to read a parenting book by a 30-year-old with no children.

.: there have been more mass shootings in days this year, it depends on which statistics you look at and where they are coming from. the federal government defines a mass shooting as three or more people killed in a single incident. the fbi defines them as when a shooter is actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined or populated area, like a school or campus. under that criteria, fbi statistics shows 160 incidents between 2000 and 2013. 486 people were killed. information found on websites like shooting tracker.comoften indicates higher numbers because they include fatal and non-fatal gunfire during things like barroom disputes and drive-by shootings. a former roman catholic priest who spent more than a decade behind bars for raping an altar boy will soon be set free. prosecutors withdrew a request to have ronald paquin civilly committed indefinitely as a sexually dangerous person. neither expert who examined dangerous, which is required under state law for civil commitment. the now 72-year-old paquin pleaded guilty in december 2002 to child rape charges f
