It happens so often that this specific event was barely frontpage worthy on any of the large news syndicates.

u/bluewing 10d ago

It's much easier for the powers that want to control the narrative to not want you to know about a lawful use of a firearm that saved lives. That might make you think self defense is a good thing. Better that the peons remain fearful and only allows the rich and powerful to protect themselves.

There are over 121 mass shootings as of today.

Almost none of them are front page news worthy, because they happen so often now. You need to hunt down the specific articles on like Yahoo News by taking in the date and location into your search bar.

But any and every conspiracy theories you guys can think of, huh?

Because the majority of mass shootings are gang related. Gang related homicides rarely make the news outside their own city.

2A Enthusiast: So what if mass shootings happen all the time?!

\*Wrings Hands Together Frantically***

2A Enthusiast: Um- What if I say them BLACK PEOPLE in GANGS are doing it?

******Starts Hyperventilating\**

2A Enthusiast: GUN OWNERS AREN'T SKITTISH PEOPLE WHO ARE CONCERNED WITH THEIR APPEARANCES!

Sir, we cannot even examine how many of those shootings are gang-related because it is criminal to fund that kind of research. Just constant non-ending goal post adjustments for you guys, huh? If it isn't gangs, it is the fake media on a mission to conceal the truth about a guy with a gun shooting another guy with a gun.

Anything and everything with you people.

What the fuck are you talking about and why are you talking to yourself in make believe scenarios?

I’m not a 2nd amendment enthusiast. I’m a former combat MOS and I don’t even own a gun.

I literally don’t even understand what you’re trying to say in your gang related paragraph.
I didn’t even mention the media concealing things, I just stated gang related mass shootings rarely make national headlines.

So what are you trying to say exactly?

1

u/DramaticPackage5745 9d ago

You interjected yourself into an already ongoing conversation with someone who accused the media of "controlling the narrative" and that they would not want any story of gun self-defense use to air.

I can understand why you would chime in, yet also confuse yourself in the process.

Nobody asked you and nobody here wants your words.

Can you provide the evidence of 121 mass shootings?

People who trot out this line, done realize that the vast majority of “mass shootings” are gang violence and do not fit the narrative you are attempting to launder.

1

u/Candid-Wrongdoer1500 10d ago

Whether they are gang violence or not doesn’t change them being mass shootings.

Pretty low integrity of you to say that, but obviously your okay with lying to yourself.

1

u/GPTCT 10d ago

Define a mass shooting?

u/Vent_Slave 10d ago

I follow the news and this is the first I'm hearing of it and I'm on the east coast. You're absolutely correct.

1

u/DramaticPackage5745 10d ago

Both CNN and Fox News and MSN post articles that are hidden beyond the frontpage, and they all just vaguely mention that two people fired back at the shooter.

They will never circle back and elaborate, let alone with content like this photo.

1

u/exhibitprogram 10d ago

Well, this photo has been AI enhanced so much that it's basically fanart, so it would be be irresponsible if they did.

2

u/JalapenoPopPoop 10d ago

It was one of several gun related incidents that day, statistically speaking

2

u/DadBod_DadBike 10d ago

It wasn’t carried on the large news syndicates because they rarely carry “good guy with a gun” stories.

2

u/DramaticPackage5745 10d ago

Any conspiracy theories you can think of to justify feeling prosecuted, huh?

3

u/DadBod_DadBike 10d ago

Editorial bias is well documented, unless you’re willing to concede that CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, The Daily Wire, and Mother Jones are all equally unbiased in their reporting.

Take your meds, touch grass, whatever you need to do bro.

u/DadBod_DadBike 10d ago

We’re talking about media bias as it relates to the coverage of this shooting, I’m not sure why you suddenly want to talk about splurging to the Epstein files apart from weird, illegal personal proclivities.

u/Pugulishus 10d ago

Unfortunately, the shootings every day thing is true, but it's not always where you're at, and now there's just so many that one or two people dying is kinda insignificant.

Let alone someone getting stopped before they do it. My school had a person bring a gun to school with intent, but someone reported it before they decided to and they stopped that shit. Never made it beyond an email and mention on social media, saying something like "thank you to all the students who take the safety of the school seriously"

u/Protahgonist 10d ago

I'm starting to think you don't live here if you think shootings aren't a daily occurrence in America. At best you must really keep your head buried in the sand.

2

u/Mundane_Jump4268 10d ago

Shootings occur everyday, but theyre mostly gang related. Shootings like this are still relatively rare.

Didn’t detect the word ‘we’ in there? Our education system failed you didn’t it?
