There were even two unsolved mass shooting in Chicago this weekend, silence from the main stream media. Once reason is that Chicago has been taken over by thugs and the killings are the norm there, the other reason is that shooters aren't white. Let one white person shoot a single black child in Chicago (6 children shoot this weekend)and it would be headline news for a week. I know the shooters were black because of the silence.

First, that "red" and "blue" state nonsense dates to the late Tim Russert. It is nonsense.
Second, the media ignored the shootings in Chicago because most of the shooters were black.

The shooter in El Paso said he was not a Trump supporter and the shooter in Ohio said he would be voting for Warren...
I guess the liberal media forgot to mention they are both Democrats ...
…
Just like they forgot to mention about Joe Biden and his Michigan and Houston screw ups …!

Conservatards seem to be making the argument that all conservatards have a mental illness, and it’s the cause of their racism.
