    5 people were shot dead in New York City last night, did anyone on this board hear about it? What's the difference between 5 people being shot individually and 5 people being shot during the same incident? In my opinion, nothing. But the left won't raise hell about these shootings, they won't have vigils, they won't have nationwide fund raisers, their community leaders won't make speeches, there will be no catch-phrase like New York Strong and whatever headlines this story creates won't contain the words white supremacist or white nationalist. On top of that, no one is going to run around calling for a ban on assault pistols or call them weapons of war and mass destruction.

    So what's the difference between 5 individual murders and 5 occurring at once?

    The difference is always the same. Race of perp and victims. The MSM and Liberals can’t gain anything from highlighting minorities killing anyone. 50 minorities can kill each other in a weekend, but if one white guy shoots a
    woman in a suburb, and they can connect it to Trump somehow, they’ll do it.

    It’s why I don’t believe one crocodile tear from any Democrat when it comes to gun violence. Until they acknowledge the BIGGEST problem when comes to gun crime, they obviously don’t really care.

    No different when rich liberals complain about the environment while flying across the world in private jets to a dinner for one night. You can’t take anything they say seriously because they truly don’t care.

    This could go in a lot of directions from gun laws don’t work, out of ignorance the left is targeting the wrong guns, the media has no interest when the perps are the protected class, etc.

    Not a whole helluva lot in my book... idiots with guns....same old/same old

    But there still is a difference if each shooting was 1 shooter/1 victim...

    And on some of these, it sounds like there could be actual targeting vs randomness....

    Not nearly enough information.. you aren't going to get many takers without more...

    80% of gun violence is gang related and done with illegally obtained firearms almost exclusively handguns.

    WRONG most shootings are by legal registered gun owners.We have MILLIONS of legal gun owners who shouldn't be trusted with a butter knife.

    Here’s the thing, if one guy walks into a Walmart and shoots five people he will almost certainly get caught. In this story we have five murderers who murdered at least on person each and will probably kill again in the future. Either way, the body count is much, much higher in shootings like this than mass shootings, but this story doesn’t help the left’s agenda at all.

    I don't why liberals think Hollywood "celebs" are on their side when they obviously are not.

    I mean liberals have had decades to do something about gang violence in Chicago and other cities, but they don't want to do anything about it for some reason.

    These are cities packed with lefties and run by lefties.

    And no improvement ever comes.

    1. You don't know anybody will kill again.
    2. The body count in Walmart was 22..... let me know when these 5 guys total 22... Not saying it's not possible, but it will take a little more effort.
    3. From what I read, the Walmart shooter was able to leave the scene, surrendering to cops at a later time and place.
    4. Doubt you will ever stop this 1 on 1 stuff, so it's not on anybody's agenda to stop.

    Really? You don't see the difference? In one case it's one incident, in the the other it's five incidents. Think of it this way: In the first case, a cop gets lucky and happens to be walking by, spots the shooter getting ready and stops him before they have killed anybody, all five live. In the second, same scenario, he can stops one incident, but four people die anyway.

    We don't have the resources to stop all incidents. So we need to do what we can to save as many people as possible.

    You missed the point, it doesn’t need to be a Walmart, it could be a bakery or doctors office. Either way, it’s usually the first and last time the nut goes on a killing spree. On the other hand, there are five individual people out there who are each comfortable with killing people when it suits them. It’s probable at least one of them has murdered before and will murder again. Those guys are still out there, but where is the left’s focus? Third base.

    One can look at it like there’s one killer over here and five killers over there. In your mind, which is better?

    And what is your plan to save as many people as possible?

    You assume that you know what a liberal is and why it matters what a Hollywood celeb does.

    And you claim to be a degreed professional that writes like a high school dropout, my what a bon mot. A city that is a megalopolis hardly has one in the same individual on demand and in a position of operating the entire city.

    What does ‘my what a bon mot’ mean? What foreign country are you trying to appeal to now?

    BTW, AOC claims to have a degree. That declaration lessens the value of degrees works wide.

    Stop & Frisk would work in the South Side of Chicago, but that would be racist.... so go get a coffee and donut & let them all kill each other.

    Stop and frisk is legal with reasonable suspicion. Now how the hell is it racist? Oh, I forgot, everything is racist.

    So what does ‘my what a bon mot’ mean? Oh, you meant ‘my, what a bon mot.’

    There’s nothing like criticizing someone’s post only to write a grammatically corrupt post that makes no sense.
