All that gets attention are mass shootings. Large city individual shooting deaths on a daily basis aren't worthy of airtime.

what, exactly, is the point of these threads?
Because my point of view and "winning the argument" are more important than facts.

I don't really get the "see look at Chicago!" argument people are trying to make

How often do you watch any of these to know what they're talking about?
I read and hear about crazy weekends like the one in Chicago on national news outlets when cities like Chicago have such weekends.
I don't know how you know what these networks are doing when you never watch them.

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.
Exactly
Someone going into a known “jungle” of a modern city expects to find undesirables, thugs, gangs and criminals.
Someone going to a suburban movie theater, to school or to a Walmart expects to be safe.
That’s why it’s so terrifying.

It's all they have. Any time Trump does or says something, "but Obama/Hillary/Libs did it....".
If you pay attention to the news at all, inner city killings are there all the time. But if you can't understand why a mass shooting at a walmart isn't the same and will get different front page coverage, go outside more.

It was mentioned on both this morning. I know because my gym has every TV on one of the three: CNN, MSNBC, or ESPN.

The PT is quite literally the textbook definition of "hive mind". It's the same stuff over and over.

Maybe not anywhere (South Chicago; North BE), but I see what you mean.

Damn Right!

well you're probably more likely to get shot by a thug than a lunatic racist, but whatever.
you should probably just never leave the house.

And for the most part the people who die in inner city violence had it coming right?
"Chicago" is always brought up after these unfortunate mass shootings because it's an easy win for the person making that case, as it brings out your racial hypocrisy without fail, not to mention your impressive level of stupidity.

Yet the very topic you're posting about is on the national news.
The whatboutisms in this place are out of control.

No one is even coming close to saying that.
But you like to pretend that everyone is ignoring the situation and it's just simply not true.
At all.

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.
You’re right. I didn’t mean to diminish these tragedies, but the vast majority of Chicago gun deaths are thugs killing thugs.
