    I dunno. But I think if the media could somehow make a connection of some sort, they most definitely would.

    I have not seen much from fox or cnn on this, just means not enough information to know what really occurred yet as they learn more sure we will hear more

    Ok.

    Well, this was a mass shooting. Mass shootings are super bad right?

    Now now, you're being sexist and racist. You need to be gender neutral and to refrain from systematically categorizing people. Here, I'll fix it for you.
    Oh sibling.. You're being yourself.

    As I said, it's getting coverage, but it's just a blip. All mass shootings are really bad right? Seems like we'd see consistent concern and discussion, regardless.

    What's different here?

    Mass shootings are super duper bad. We need to find out who this guy is. We need to examine the places he went online. Where's his social media feed? We need to know his political leanings. If he likes a politician of any sort we need to look at that politician and everyone else who supports them.

    You list the policies that directly contributed to this since you are making the allegations

    Black-on-black crime doesn’t happen if you follow the msm. The only crimes we need to be concerned with are white-on-black crimes, and if a police officer questions any minority.

    Yes, all mass shootings are bad. All shootings in general are bad. What’s different? Well, it’s probably not politically motivated and the ******* likely didn’t leave some crazy manifesto on 4chan or whatever. It was probably some dumb personal dispute that this dude decided to settle with guns at a kid’s birthday party.

    so far this does not seem to be a mass shooting in the traditional sense, it could be, we just do not know that yet

    it's bad of course, but is it an argument between two people gone bad, gang related, racially motivated, ect.... we do not know

    Good for your local media.

    The msm does not cover black-on-black crimes. They have limited airtime, so it can only be used to advance socialism.

    So it's not really mass shootings per se, but moreso the incidents that are politically motivated?

    That's odd.

    Regardless of motivation, people still end up dead and wounded.

    That's what we should care about, right?

    In the traditional sense?

    I think we need to step back from that.

    A mass shooting is a mass shooting, the end result is the same for the victims.

    Why is a child's party still going on so late? Especially when a child is too young to have a preference, birthday parties are often gatherings for family and friends to socialize and celebrate the event. There's nothing wrong with this and it provides an opportunity for the kids extended community to bond with the child and each other. The two year old might go to sleep but other family members might linger, especially if the next day isn't a work or school day.

    Why isn't this being treated like a serial shooting? Is it possible that the shooter knew the victims? Could the shooter have even been invited to the party? I think of serial killings as random shootings, in which most of the victims had no connection to the shooter. At any rate, what should have been a happy event was ruined.

    there are different kinds of mass shootings, some are planed to attack an entire race or religion or even political in nature... some are domestic disputes and some are gang related

    this one seems like it was an argument between two people and it escalated, but we do not know yet what the motive was

    The MSM only seems to care when mass shootings take down white people.

    That gets the most attention? Yes. That seems to be what shocks people the most and the motive is almost immediately discovered because they post rantings online. The news blasts it at us because there’s a surge of information as soon as they find out the shooter’s name.

    It’s not really odd if you just think about how to generate viewership, and the more discord you can create the more attention you’ll get. Both sides do it but people are blinded by their strict allegiance to their side and then it becomes what many in this thread are bitching about.


    Yes.
