Can you not see the difference between criminals being killed by other criminals and innocent people being mowed down by a lunatic?

What happens daily in Chicago has no bearing on my life and gives me zero pause in taking my family anywhere. The second scenario is scary, even though still unlikely.

Well, most of those shootings weren't against a bunch of innocent bystanders shopping for groceries or just trying to have a fricking drink.

Big cities have gun crimes and they're mostly against other people involved in said crimes. HUGE difference.

CNN Front Page Headline right now:

Hospital stops taking patients after Chicago trauma center fills with shooting victims

How long until you issue a mea culpa for your fake news thread?

Breaking new mass shootings are more newsworthy then random murders in a big city

So you know nothing about those people except they're from Chicago so they must be criminals? That's pretty shitty.

Get back to me when CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, etc pick it up and tell us all who's fault it is. Otherwise, quit being an obtuse prick.

What is the difference in the value of their lives versus your average citizen? Also there are plenty of innocent bystanders that get hit by drive by’s

No one cares if Tyrone gangbanger kills another gangbanger in a drug deal gone wrong. Most people know they won’t ever die this way.

Mass shootings are more unsettling because it can happen to any of us.

So this just makes everything ok about what happened in El Paso and Dayton?

Innocent people get killed by these gangbangers too. The truck driver from Tennessee that was killed in BR and the lady killed in Sherwood more recently come to mind.

Your odds are obviously much lower if you don't live that lifestyle though.

what, exactly, is the point of these threads?

and do we have 70 pages threads every time a shooting happens in Chicago?

No?

Can you tell me why?

Are you sure all seven were criminals? What about all 200 that have been killed in Baltimore thus far this year?
