How many people were shot in Baltimore and Chicago over the weekend?

If a cop shot them, then their lives would matter.

Because shootings are only newsworthy if the perpetrator is a white dude.

correct answer will get you banned.

You shouldn't have to have someone explain to you why one event is more newsworthy than another.

So, certain lives only matter depending on the situation?

Seems to me dead is dead, expected or not. It all should be getting coverage

We expect poor blacks to be gang members and shoot other poor blacks who we also expect to be gang members. there lives just don't mean as much.

You should post this when the snack bar guys kill some people, too.

Because the media actually only cares when white people die. If it's just black on black crime they don't care..because they don't view those hood rats as valuable human beings.

Random people being gunned down in Walmart is a big deal. It’s weird that people here want to downplay it or point at Chicago.

When one party and the media consistently brings up the mass shootings statistics Baltimore, Chicago, Nola are lumped into that number so why avoid it? Why do both have to be mutually exclusive? Why does inner city shootings for the most part get buried.

Many posters on this board are using it to deflect but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have honest dialogue and that dialogue starts with admitting the Dems have failed most districts in inner cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, LA, Nola etc.
