    Here's another mass shooting that will remain a blip on the radar because it can't be tied to Trump, the NRA, nazis, etc etc. There's no political value for the left leaning media and progressives in amplifying this incident, so... I guess there's no conversation to be had about firearms or how bad white people are. Also, I guess we're still pretty distracted about a black man who was "just jogging" and "being hunted" by two white men in Georgia.

    This was not a mass shooting. They were social distancing by bullets.

    Nah... pissing on Trump's grave is much more fun and rewarding....

    Besides, there are no suspects or arrests yet, so we don't know that much... a little premature...

    You know... that's probably right. Thanks for enlightening me. I should be ashamed of my unconscious bias. Pft... black people shooting each other... lol, what am I thinking!?! I guess I'm just a little wacky sometimes.

    Well what do you want to know about it? Thirteen people were shot. That's really bad, right?

    Black dude gets shot and we get 4000 posts and wall to wall coverage because racism. 13 people get shot and not one witness comes forward. Dead silence.

    Just another day of people exercising the 2nd Amendment Rights in Trump's America.

    They say black lives matter... but I'm not sure they actually believe that.

    Do you think these people got their guns during the Trump years? The biggest and bestest gun salesmen were Obama and O’Rourke. Heck, obama even sent our second amendment to Mexico’s drug cartels.

    LOL... you DO realize that this was a memorial FOR a black dude?? Making it statistically probable most of the 13 are going to be black as well...

    It's been < 24 hours and it was a drive by at night... what exactly are you expecting, witness wise??

    You should probably avoid statistics in a thread about black people and violence. Just a suggestion.

    When a poster substitutes the word 'national' for the actual word 'homeland', one might wonder if that was deliberate...

    Statistics are always a good thing... it's the interpretation of statistics where people get in trouble...

    I know what this story needs.

    The article mentions that the individual who was being memorialized was found dead in the woods, and was last known to be going somewhere to pick up a four wheeler. The woods, four wheelers? Yeah, I think you know where I'm going with this. This guy was clearly lured out and hunted by racist rednecks, and the angst created by this realization is what prompted the mass shooting because the pressure of institutionalized racism must be vented somehow. OMG you guys, black people kill black people because of white people. Someone get me CNN on the phone.

    That's hilarious. You posted the article yourself. Do you want to talk about it or not??? Not that there's much to discuss since the article is pretty anemic on details. Me thinks this thread is about your faux outrage and you were probably just being a good disciple of Faux News in posting this.

    It should be pretty obvious that I'm highlighting the inconsistency in how the media and progressives react to certain things, based upon specifics and whether it's politically expedient or not. Plus I'm having a laugh.
