Mass shootings in public places are a threat to everyone, unlike mass shootings in the ghetto. Yes, that`s why one is more newsworthy than the other. Why do I feel like I`m explaining this to 5 year olds?

How about mass killings by vehicle? Did they even report that on your tv news? TV brains are toddler size and produce similar tantrums and whining.

The FACT is more people are murdered in Pittsburgh by ghetto psychopaths than anyone else. Yet you condone it.

The BBC documentary on psychopaths that I watched last week stated unequivocally that the disorder is a brain defect they're born with. It's not caused by environmental factors. So ...the question that needs to be asked is why aren't we intervening to prevent this disorder from being passed along to offspring? Parents need to be screened for this problem themselves and told what they're bringing to the world.

Baseless speculation about a hypothetical situation. You don't "know" any such thing. Remember this guy?

He wasn't dropped dead on the spot.

So shootings in the "ghetto" aren't worth worrying about? Well, that's a nice attitude.

It's part of the Democratic playbook, actually. On page one. At least according to their news organs like the New York Times, NPR, etc. That used to be all they ever talked about, how the Republicans would soon be finished because there wouldn't be enough white people left in the country to vote for them.

this was likely inside someone's apartment. the perpetrator and victim(s), like the vast majority of cases, know each other, one may think from the context of all these situations.

of course that doesnt mean "so, no big deal". we hopefully are not totally desensitized to human suffering, whether someone dies from a stabbing or a gun shot. for example, if someone is not a proponent of the death penalty, and considers abortion detestable, they hopefully will not be a hypocrite and take pause for a moment to consider a human adult in their community (and yes, i consider our beloved city OUR community, whether its Fairy Wood or the Frankstown corridor, Larimer or Lincoln Place) has been attacked, had their blood flow, and was injured none too nicely....

but here's the kicker - this will garner such a low level of public passion....because it is not a non-black on black crime.
