Yes.....this happened and yet, not one peep out of the usual, anti-gun lunatics......why?
1) they don't want to be distracted from lying about the kids the democrats are separating from their parents on the border
2) The shooter was black, the victims were gang members....
3) It happened in a state with extreme gun control, where they only prosecute law abiding gun owners...
Funny how the anti-gun nuts are quiet on this one.....
The mass shooting nobody will march against
One dead, 22 injured. That makes it one of the three or four largest mass shootings of 2018.

What you’re not seeing is a line of politicians waiting to be interviewed on cable news about this. You’re not seeing the Parkland kids calling for a march on the streets of Trenton. In fact, outside of the people who are directly impacted in the immediate area, we’re getting what’s mostly a collective shrug from the national press. Why?
One dead, 22 injured.
The Art All Night Trenton shooting isn’t of much interest to the majority of the press because it includes all the wrong sort of people for a hot story with a political hook.
First of all, pretty much everyone involved with the shooting was black. There were rival gangs mixing it up at the festival.
The cops even knew about it in advance because people were tipping them off about the gang presence. They had come and told the festival organizers they should shut down early because trouble was brewing. The organizers were in the process of doing that when the fireworks started.
The one shooter who is currently at room temperature, 33-year-old Tahaij Wells, had been out of prison on parole for all of four months for a previous murder.
There were “multiple” gangs involved. The weapons of choice were almost entirely handguns so there was no chance to rail against “assault rifles.”
(One suspect did have an extended magazine capable of holding more rounds than state law allows.) We’re not seeing any demands for information on the weapons used. Why? I’d like to know how many of those gang members were in possession of handguns they legally purchased after passing a background check. But nobody in the national press seems to be interested in telling that story either.
