We need to know the race/ethnicity of everyone involved to know how we are supposed to react.

If black shooter shoots black victim, no reaction.

If black shooter shoots white victim, no reaction.

If white shooter shoot black victim, strong reaction, media goes into overdrive.

If white policeman shoots black victim, no matter the circumstances, media goes into meltdown saturation coverage mode.

If white hispanic neighborhood watchman shoots black victim, no matter the circumstances, media again goes into meltdown saturation coverage mode.

Maybe they should light up the Empire State building in a color of chicago’s choosing as a memorial for all the lives lost in Chicago violence...of course that will have to wait until after the Cecil memorial comes down.

3 killed out of 15, that’s right on the “Mendoza Line.”

Need more range time.

Yep, good.point. it seems that nothing much else matters recently except hunting trips to Zimbabwe. Ongoing violence in Chicago, Baltimore, and other cities?? No media outrage.

A lion is killed on a hunting trip in Zimbabwe?? Media meltdown and outrage. Calls for the head of the hunter; liberals who normally oppose capital punishment want same administered to a hunter who killed a lion.
