All over local news.

Why would this warrant “ breaking news” national coverage?

I forgot, 14 people shot at one time is just an average day in America, my bad.
Let's not add in their coverage very recently about Trump threatening to send Feds into Chicago about this very issue either.

If 14 Americans were shot in Afghanistan would you not expect it to make the news either?

This is just what this culture does to itself. Worked as an ER nurse in these cities enough to know. It's a symbol of "maleness" to kill people in these areas of cities. We call it the Rod and Gun Club

I think maybe we all have to stop caring about this city and others where the shootings are up in huge numbers. I mean, the leadership sure doesn't care.

I am becoming desensitized to this quite frankly.

You can't help people who won't help themselves.

These lefties ascribe to genocide, apparently.

I cannot believe any cops still work there. Maybe not much longer.

Not taught to today's journalism students and hasn't been taught in a while.

Imagine if only the facts were presented.

Current criteria for News:

Can this make trump look bad? >>>>NEWS
Can this make trump look good>>>>NOT NEWS

The first step of solving this violence is a lot like the first step of AA. Admit you have a problem. Democrats are still stuck on step 1.
