Splitting hairs.
No that’s called: facts.
Splitting hairs.
just to point out convoluted this is about expanding the definition of mass shooting to include way more so they are reported on every day, while then turning around suppressing basically all of those stories they artificially created when they expanded the definition in a plan to only report on the white racist lunatic shooters
... so it's 3, yeah?
1 killed, 6 wounded in Lynn, Massachusetts. There is nothing special about the shooting. It was a drive-by at a house party, one of hundreds with either of those two descriptors.
However, 1 killed with 6 wounded is the exact same number of victims in the Minneapolis anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime mass shooting from 3 weeks ago. The one where police and media still have not offered a description of the two suspects, who are still on the loose, other than "male."
That was the only posted mass shooting on GVA from Friday. I would expect more than that on any given Friday, much less a Friday on a major summer holiday weekend. Must be problems with the website.
Defined by the FBI, no. Defined by a piece of Federal legislation, yes.... so it's 3, yeah?
Scotch mist?What am I invisible?
I posted that already

We literally expanded our view of what was a mass shooting without expanding the number of victims. Personally I believe this was done so as to make the problem seem much worse, in the hopes that it would galvanize the public to force politicians to make changes.
Seem much worse???
How about making it "seem" like it actually is? Multiple people getting gunned down every day.
A crime related shooting of multiple people in a high crime area, is just standard operating procedure in many urban areas of the USA. Equating such events with the massacres at Columbine or Virginia tech seems a little dishonest if you ask me. But it does raise the number of mass shootings to one a day which helps a political objective.
Because, people in high crime areas deserve to get shot. Amirite?

OMG that was funny!!
You think it's a joke?
50 days since Nicholas Golden was gunned down in an anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime mass shooting and still no suspect description.

We know the 2 suspects were male, why stop the vagueness their? Are they white, black, Hispanic or Asian?In fairness, if they don't get a workable description out within like 48 hours, it ain't happening. Contradictory witnesses, no traits that stand out, etc, make putting out a vague description pretty useless.
LOL, right."We are tooking for an average height and weight white male with brown hair!" Yeah that's great.
Must be being protected eh?
Why do you think it's weird? Statistically, it's highly probable that the shooters are black. I may be wrong, the shooters might be Latino, or Asian, or Muslim. I am 100% certain they are not white MAGAr types and 99% certain they are not white at all.Really weird to assume that the people who were apparently attending a crusty underground punk show at some small house venue before shooting the place up were black.
Considering this was a mass shooting at a rainbow event, I would expect that federal authorities are assisting. I could be wrong, they may set this one out if the shooters are of the wrong ethnical persuasion. They are very busy investigating angry parents and trespassing grandparents.Entirely willing to believe MPD is not taking this shooting very seriously, considering the who the victims are, but I'm not sure what point you think this demonstrates.

There have been several ****lib media outlets cover the story and none of them have provided a description of the suspects. There's a reason for that – the shooters don't match the narrative.
