Another who believes it's perfectly understandable to be mowed down at a mall, movie or school.

I'd keep a tally, but it would require a spreadsheet and I'm too lazy.

The conservative mainstream media isn't playing this either. So, explain to me again how this si the liberals fault? #fail Another lame attempt to blame something on liberals.

So you think it is acceptable for people to get mowed down in the inner-city and not worthy of outrage?

That sounds elitist. I bet you're a liberal.

Are we going to pretend that this incident is being covered like the Isla Vista shooting where hours of coverage and "analysis" were played and the fathers of the victims were given a platform to stump for gun control?

I don't think so.

Not at all. The odds of it happening are statistically insignificant. You probably have a better chance of being hit by lightening or winning the lottery.


Mass shootings are an extremely rare occurrence. Go Live your life and be happy!

Not acceptable but not a surprise. That's my point. Of course you'll ignore that point.

South Shore is one step over from Obama's Hyde Park. We can't have that on the national news. How could this happen in the gun control paradise of Chicago? Nothing to see here, move along.
