Yeah, but was it like a gang related thing or an angry "lone wolf" with a manifesto posted on reddit thing? The news seems to care far more about one than the other.

Yeah, but this one will not be covered by the mainstream media. If it does, expect it to be a tiny story hidden away on their websites.

Im assuming this wont make mainstream media because theres a high probability that the shooter wasnt white.

No maybe because no one has been reported dead?

Not enough information for me to comment extensively. That said, if it is gang-related (unclear but it probably is), then it has different causes, shooter motivations, and solutions, starting with the War on Drugs and foreign policy.

But if we're talking about media coverage, the primary reason why is because gang violence is expected. People expect gangs to exist and commit violent crimes, as they have since before televisions existed. People never expect previously law-abiding citizens to seemingly randomly murder a bunch of their fellow citizens, and the average person has trouble understanding exactly what is going on with mass shootings without being given more information. That makes those events more news-worthy to corporate media.

I got modded once for saying something akin to that, but maybe the mods will accept it in this form?

You can shut down the ER if you don't have enough staff on hand, otherwise people who go in to the hospital to die instead of to a different hospital.

there's more than one hospital in the area in larger city's they'll be fine. oh and it's a republican problem since they wouldn't do something about guns because it infringes on second amendment rights.

not anymore.

even when it did, it just really prevent people from buying guns in the city. nothing stopped them from going literally anywhere else to buy one.

that also did nothing to prevent someone from buying a stolen gun, either.
