Current Affairs The " another shooting in America " thread

[Oddball]

I don't know that there's any conspiracy to be had here, but you've stumbled onto a sad truth, which is that gun violence and police killings are so ubiquitous in the US that "only" one person being killed is unlikely to ever be elevated to anything other than a local story.

`newsworthy` is the crux of the biscuit mate.

Until it's someone 'importants' kid...

To be fair it was reported on the BBC, guardian, CNN, NBC, so pretty well covered. I remember reading about it at the time.

is there any reason why it shouldn`t be covered thoroughly? i would suggest it was a news item on the day and pretty much never returned to

So you’ve gone from, ‘it wasn’t covered, it’s a stitch up’, to ‘it was only covered in local news’, to ‘it wasn’t covered as much as I’d have liked’.

This is why I’m generally sceptical of conspiracists, when it often comes down to someone just not having as much information as they think.

*as much sensationalism as required at any moment.

Can I ask why you are interested in the coverage that this particular story has had?

Would it have anything to do with the colour of the mans skin?

Your kind hide in plain sight, but I see you.

Because you said

“why wasn`t this reported?something stinks.”

So what this means is you’ve just heard about it now, 9 months later, and jumped to the conclusion that it wasn’t reported at the time, and implied suspicious activity.

Nothing suspicious in the reporting here, just means you didn’t know about it, and filled that knowledge gap with a conspiracy.

Makes me wonder, what else don’t you know?

1/ i saw it on a Dr Todd Grande video today and looked for more items on it wondering why i hadn`t heard of it before.
2/ yes, i think if the guy was black, the news would`ve been world wide blanket coverage.
3/ in your opinion, what is my kind.

Ah well done. You’ve found the reporting. You can put your conspiracy / cover up theory to rest. Good effort.
