Current Events > Curious, why do black pope lseem to rarely do mass shootings?

(+) Yeah! (+)

There's been a few I know of, but it pales in comparison to others. And we need some serious mental health care for people now.

Is it cultural?

If you really want to get technical, inner-city gang violence could be considered "mass shootings" but the media and a large chunk of America ignorantly view it as business as usual, so when it happens it's not seen as a huge deal.

When well-off suburban communities get impacted by gun violence it's deemed a bigger issue.

Community.
Having a sense of community makes it less likely for somone to be so detached they lash out at the world.

Yeah. IIRC a large chunk of the folx that fall under the definition of "mass shooter" are non-white.

This, but if you narrow it down to school shootings specifically it is overwhelmingly white and it's usually a social outcast so... are white kids more likely to be social outcasts? Incur more bullying?

They may be outcasts, but plenty of school shooters were not bullied. That whole idea started with Columbine, which is weird since it turned out the shooters were bullies.

There's probably a lot of truth to that. And of course it comes down to racism/classism.

They're too busy shooting 1v1?

American news media in general doesn't care about inner city mass shootings between rival gangs. There's no shocking marketable outrage to be farmed from it. Innocent bystanders shot and killed during rival gang violence are less likely to be acknowledged by news outlets today simply because gangs were responsible for the killings.

It doesn't spark clicks. It doesn't drum up votes; not as much as collective outrage does.

The American media industry doesn't bother spotlighting most events of gang violence because those in charge don't give a flying crap about communities dealing with those hazards until it's voting time and media-supportive policies/candidates are on the table.

Black Pope Iseem would never
