BREAKING: Mass shooter / Illinois / 69 people shot....

[bucs90]

Memorial Day weekend closes with 4 shot on West Side, hit by brunt of holiday violence

69 people shot. 6 dead. Over 3 days.

If ONE SHOOTER did all this.....it would be global news and would be reported on the level of the Paris or San Bernadino shootings.

BUT....it was done by 69 different shooters. Which somehow makes it less news worthy.

Why is 1 gunman so much more reportable than 69 gunmen????

 

[TNHarley]

1 gunman is scary though

 

[G.T.]

Because Violence is already expected in Criminal Laden territory, obvioisly.

Not all but the vast majority of the violence is coming in the form of criminal on criminal. Not much spectacular going on there, to make it very newsworthy except for the news of the phenomena itself which IS rehashed over and over and over.

 

[DGS49]

Because when it's a single shooter, it's usually a white guy, and it can be used a political fodder to advocate for curtailing gun rights.

69 (mainly) African-Americans getting shot in Chicago? WGAS?

Ah. So....the media is focusing on the rare incident of mass violence by a lone gunman in a normally safe area. But ignoring the chronic problem of areas with mass violence on a daily basis.

The zoo gorilla was CNNs lead story online over the weekend. But an American city has 69 people shot....and barely a peep outside of Chicago media.

Chicago violence is not ignored by the media, I could link you to THOUSANDS of pieces of literature regarding it.

Its just REDUNDANT. News needs interest, in order to have a budget, in order to exist at all.

Routine is not news. Non-fatal car wrecks don't make the news. Aircraft accidents, people hit by lightning, earthquakes and politicians telling the truth make the news.

Keep in mind.......they can't bring up the race of the majority of these shooters...that would be racist.....

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

It's Chicago...

No one cares anymore about shootings and killings in the third largest city in America, and the only thing anyone cares about in Chicago is if the Cubs are for real!?!

Seeing I grew up in Joliet, Illinois I can tell you for a fact that shootings in Chicago, it burbs and the Will County region is common and it is sad so many happen the reality is Chicago has always been rough.

Since the days it was founded until now it has been a tough bastard of a city, and living there shortens your damn life.

If National News ran every shooting incident in Chicago then no other news would be reported.

Sad reality of how life is in the big city like Chicago...

Because we live in a gun-worship culture. If we didn't ---- it wouldn't occur to 69 different people in one weekend to settle their scores with guns.

Duh.

And also because when there's a single mass shooter he's targeting random people, since he's out for carnage, the bloody feedback that gun culture demands. When you have a single one-on-one shooter, the victim is targeted personally for a specific reason connected to that specific person.

Oh so it's the guns??? Because Utah has a HUGE number of guns and extremely high % of residents own guns. But....crime in Utah is so low.

And veteran suicide rates are 22 per day, or one every 65 minutes. These numbers come from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) in their Feb 2013 report on veteran suicide rates in the United States. "

The study, which analyzed suicide data from 1999 to 2010, determined that although “the percentage of all suicides identified as Veteran declined between the years 1999-2003 and has remained comparatively constant over recent years,” the total number of deaths by suicide had increased by almost 11 percent from 2007 to 2010. The rate of suicide among veterans had also increased during this time period."

How much do you hear about that?

Again folks, please, 6 major multinational corporations preside over 90% of what the American public sees, hears, and reads. You get the “info” 6 major multinational corporations want you to get. Unless you get out and find other sources, you’re being programmed. Mass media = indoctrination. It doesn’t matter of it’s a communist state or corporate state power.

Nope.....the inner cities are filled with a thug culture.....

The American gun culture does not increase the gun murder rate.......Americans priavetly own 357,000,000 million guns which they use for self defense, competition, hunting, and collecting.....the inner city thug culture murders each other for drugs, money and insults on face book....

Trying to make the two the same is a lie.....
