Current Affairs The " another shooting in America " thread

Wonder if these same judges would uphold a private citizens attempt to acquire military hardware and missiles. Surely any twisted argument that validates extended mags would say that to fight a corrupt government you'd need to be able to match them on the battlefield.

Exactly. The only logical conclusion to their line of thinking is that it should perfectly acceptable for a private citizen to have a nuclear warhead in their basement.
utterly disgusting that this has been virtually buried by the media outlets
That's a BS right wing talking point. I just went to 2 sites of the evil MSM and it was fairly near the top.
but you had to go looking for it, I only came across the story because someone posted a pic of the kid on Facebook. Searched his name, found out what had happened
5 year old kid executed in broad daylight, I’d expect that to be quite high up on reporting for the day
Tbf, it's hardly exceptional news in America. And I just checked, it's been reported by every major news outlet in the US
it’s on the bbc website as well, but like I said, it’s not reported on.
The mad yanks have a lot of problems, but the execution of a 5 year old is pretty extraordinary, even for them.
It happens quite a lot. But the original assertion made was that the media have been burying it, when that doesn't appear to be the case. How would you prefer it to be reported?
At least 6 children were killed by gun violence across the nation this holiday weekend
At least six children were killed by gun violence over the holiday weekend, sparking calls from officials in three cities to end the shootings.

IMO it’s far more important than seeing headlines that we’re used to seeing on newsfeedas. Maybe I’m just more compassionate towards the plight of innocent children and believe their stories deserve more airtime
I agree but sometimes even school shootings don’t even make much of a news splash for more than a day.
That the gunman was already arrested probably makes a difference as there is no “police are asking the community to be on the lookout for“ angle.
While I agree with that, unfortunately children getting shot is a depressingly daily routine in the US. I think it has less to do with a media bias and more to do with how innured the consumers of that media are to such incidents.
When American children and teens are killed with guns, 58 percent are homicides—more than 1,700 deaths per year.
The Impact of Gun Violence on Children and Teens
Children's exposure to gun violence has far reaching effects: An estimated three million children witness a shooting each year.

and that doesn’t even count all those wounded or impacted

Over 100 children have been shot in the City of Philadelphia this year. These kids deserve more from the local media. In regards to the brutal execution in cold blood of a 5 yr old who was assasinated.
This should have been a national news story. Please feel free to check all of the Philadelphia news outlets.
Not one reported this heinous crime. I don’t care what your political leanings are. I have kids the same age, maybe it is BS to you, but it is newsworthy. The kids family appear to be working class.
maybe the publicity would help garner donations from genuine people to help the family

Welcome to ignore for repeating the same untrue BS from earlier in this thread. Go back to Alex Jones, Fox News, Shapiro, or OANN where you get your "news"
