Title: Did you hear? Six people shot.
Post by: Little Joe on April 13, 2020, 06:05:52 AM
I'm not saying it wasn't reported.  It just wasn't reported with the same hysteria of other "mass" shootings.  I guess there are a couple of reasons for this.  One is that the CV pandemic is hogging the headlines.  Can you come up with any other reasons for the lack of 7x24 breathless "breaking news' reports?

Stay at home order means that there won't be a bunch of gawkers to interview on "live" tv

The shooter didn't use an AR-14 or automatic shotgun

How did the shooter find that many people in once place?  Didn't they know that they have to avoid large gatherings?

so-called Mass shootings don't trash the economy like inciting panic over a virus.

I can’t even find it in the news. My feeling is it’s just not the biggest sensation right now.

But did they use a semi-AUTO pistol with high capacity magazine.

I love how they always talk about Semi-auto pistols.  Do they have a clue what semi-auto means. No answer needed, I know all they here is auto.

My sister had a conversation with a friend who lives in Connecticut and hates it, and they were talking about the value of human life, and about the reporter asking Trump how many deaths are acceptable?  And Trump said, "None," and my sister's friend said, "According to Connecticut, ten deaths are acceptable."  Bwa ha ha ha ha!!!  (They have a magazine capacity limit of ten.)
