Political discussions about everything

"The rifle-wielding suspect who donned a bulletproof vest before allegedly shooting dead five men and injuring two children in Philadelphia has been identified as a Black Lives Matter supporter who shared gun-toting memes on social media.
"Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was nabbed shortly after the bloodshed in the city’s Kingsessing neighborhood Monday night, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, citing sources. On his Facebook page, Carriker posted two pictures of him wearing a bra, a women’s top and earrings with his hair braided long in March, three months before the alleged shooting.
He also regularly posts about supporting Black Lives Matter, including supporting workers who protested in the Strike For Black Lives in July 2020.

So of all of the 16 mass shootings (meaning four or more victims per shooting) over the five day extended holiday, you feel this one particular shooting is so pressing that it should be singled out for its own thread; that THIS shooting is somehow more worthy of comment that the other 15 that aren't being covered and that you aren't starting threads about?

How much coverage do you think the other 15 will get, johnny?

The answer is, almost none because there are simply too many to cover and there isn't enough time in a week to cover 16 shootings even briefly.

What it means is that YOUR handlers made a big deal out of a cross-dressing BLM supporter because they are jerking your chain and getting you to piss your shorts over just one shooting so that you and they can ignore the other 15 shootings in five days and pretend there isn't a gun violence problem in America that desperately needs to be addressed. And it will allow you to conveniently forget that Republicans are STILL refusing to do anything about it, despite being in control of the House for 2 1/2 years doing nothing but investigating the Bidens.

But go ahead, johnny, you pretend that it's the "liberal media" somehow 'refusing' to cover that particular mass shooting sufficiently, somehow giving it even less coverage than the other 15 shootings that barely got any coverage at all.

In the real world, this will be forgotten mainly because the media will have moved on to the next ten shootings that happen this week. Only the Right Wing media will continue to pretend that this shooting is somehow more noteworthy than the others. Keep in mind they are doing it because they want you to pretend the gun problem is on the Democrats when Republicans (through the NRA) have been promoting this predicament for decades and stopping the Democrats form making headway against the problem. Democrats at least try while Republicans obstruct, offering impotent "thoughts and prayers"......AGAIN.

Those are MY thoughts, johnny.

Your's are nothing but gaseous partisan propaganda.
