So could Freddie in Baltimore. Yet we have hundreds of hours of national news coverage about his death, not to mention 100 pages of posts.

Actually, I am wondering why this story of five people shot, four of which died was totally ignored. Benghazi is still in the news.

Freddie, I can understand. It is newsworthy when a non-violent citizen is detained and internally beheaded at the hands of those who took an oath to protect and serve.

It has been on the news - the random mass shooting on a bridge. Hope the perp is caught soon.

No, not really. I think you would rather show this and say see see see look how bad guns are.

If you really were worried about people getting shot, it would be more than 1 thread....

Even by a drunk driver?

And here are some very good facts....so as normal, you anti gunners will avoid this post:

The shooter sounds like he has PTSD, going off like that. I just wish that it had been caught before he was deactivated. But he's dead meat now despite being a vet.

That would be because it's a LOCAL story, that's what your fellow liberals claim about the justified shooting of terrorists in Texas when it wasn't reported on most national news.

What's the problem? Not getting enough press to exploit the tragedy?
