Ss. Maybe not las vegas size, but still a weird pattern
Some shootings are ignored while the news pumps other stories. What is going on here?

If it’s just Black folk there’s no public interest.

Street violence only gets counted in the mass shooting stats.

Gang violence is common and doesn’t sell a story. The media needs mass shootings to target more “relatable” people and to have a social/political motive to create a narrative.

the sad truth is it doesnt really gain much attention unless the body count is in the double digits

The amount of handling in this thread…
The truth is they dont want us focusing on the gangs, because the gangs are just the street level goons of the real conspiracy.
So the “lone shooter” narratives always get pumped while the more telling events get swept up.
Over 29 shot. Another body found after recent neighborhood shooting (see other comment). Atlanta is going off and I dont think it’s just the heat.
The media only cares if there is something about the story they can sensationalize using basic tribal divisions like race, gender or politics…
The more money the victim has, the more coverage. The more pigment someone has, the less coverage.
It’s Atlanta….
The Truth is, if they put this in the news like the nyc shooting, people would know about it.
Then they would care about it bc it affects them more personally. Then they woukd ask why, then want real change.
Gang violence isn’t new. Shooting up a building in Manhattan is.
