Opinion: Why aren’t Chicago’s mass shootings included in the outcry?
Chicago Tribune News Service ^ | April 11, 2021 | Heidi Stevens

When a gunman killed four people and wounded a fifth at a Southern California office building recently, news outlets, over and over, called it the third in a string of mass shootings.

“The violence in the city of Orange was the third major mass shooting in just over two weeks,” an Associated Press story published on chicagotribune.com read. “Last week a gunman opened fire at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, and killed 10. A week before that, six Asian women were among eight people killed at three Atlanta-area spas.”

As a liberal once told me about shootings "That could be me or someone I know..." when the shootings are outside what is otherwise black areas. Liberals are called NIMBYs for more than one reason. They select their injustices but it is often self-centered. When a white person kills a black, on that rare occasion, it is termed racism. When blacks kills whites or especially other blacks liberals and the news readers label it "gun violence." Oftentimes liberals elevate the shooters rather than the proposed victim. Liberalism truly is remarkable in its naivete.

Imagine if newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune wrote “White fireman risks life by saving two black children in a burning building...” It would never happen. And now some papers call firemen, fire fighters because of the desire to neuter the gender. Liberals are desiring a race way.

How about the white female killed at spring break? Why not report the complexion of the murderers? We have raised an entire generation that terms such as “white” or “white men” are especially bad.

Because blacks killing blacks isn’t news, unless someone famous is involved.

They're not ignoring you, Shaka, they're covering for you to protect their agenda.

this is the Crux of the entire blm and other bullshit race crap... The afro Americans want no one to lol upon then with scrutiny. They want to be exempt of the natural laws governing decency and morality. This is why I totally turned my back to them all. The fact that their own do not do a GD thing about sc, tells me none are worth my time...

“naivete”?
Hardly; they know exactly what they’re doing toward the goal of firearm banning and confiscation.

Scratch a liberal and find a tyrant*. They don’t mind “ self inflicted genocide”. They get to keep their hands clean and hold the moral ground meanwhile ridding the world of “useless eaters”*.

There have been 23 mass shootings since the one in Orange.

How many have we all heard of?
