Not saying it's related, but today is the first day or Ramadan.

Do stats back this up? I know I've thought it the last couple weeks, but is it as legit as I think it is?


The numbers are similar but the media was too distracted with fighting Trump to care about real news

No, I mean non-gang related mass shootings. It seems like we've had more in the last 3 months than we had in all of last year.

The fatalities in the article are shootings not associated with the school day. So far, at least.

Hard to have a mass shooting when people aren't gathering in mass.

Depends on your definition of "mass shooting" and the agenda you are attempting to drive by categorizing said "mass shootings".

To me, that phrase will carry little weight until the ghetto nightclub shooting that kills five and injures twelve is also labeled such. Political expediency is the motivator and the detriment in that regard.

It also shines a bright light on how much value is really placed on certain lives.

School is on MLK Ave and a lot of shitty inner-city schools have added Magnet in the name to sound better...

Because our state governments implemented economic sanctions on small businesses and locked down the schools driving up unemployment and deaths of despair. Fairly obvious that violent crime would sky rocket.

Austin East is an inner school. That's all I will say about it.

This makes sense. I am sure this will be portrayed differently in the national media though.
