Another Day, Another Mass Shooting

June 11, 2014 by Bob Livingston http://personalliberty.com/another-d...mass-shooting/

There was another mass shooting last week. I’m sure you heard about, given that it was all over the news.

A gunman entered a laundromat and opened fire, injuring at least six people. Most of the victims were young adults, but two were teenagers aged 14 and 16. The gunman was still at large. There was no word on whether he was responsible for the 30 other shootings that occurred in the same area over a three-day span that included the laundromat attack.

What? You didn’t hear about it? No. I guess not. It was ignored by the mainstream media.

Unlike the shooting in Las Vegas, the perpetrators couldn’t be tied — however loosely — to the statist’s favorite villains: the National Rifle Association, Cliven Bundy, the liberty movement or — gasp — rural white people, aka “rednecks.” And the shooting took place in another gun-free zone: Chicago, which has some of the strictest gun laws in the Nation.

So the media ignored it. After all, it’s Chicago. Gang-related. Barack Obama’s and Rahm Emanuel’s town. Where guns are outlawed, so only the outlaws have guns.

Another day, another gangland shooting. That doesn’t fit their agenda, so you don’t need to hear about it.

What defines a "Mass Shooting" The media seems to think even an attempt is a mass shooting....1-2 people dead a tragic mass shooting...

sorry more people die everyday in car accidents, other misc activities then these isolated incidents that become polarized by the MSM...

Sandy Hook, ya id call that a "Mass Shooting"

Yesterday with the oregon shooting, they claimed it was an AR-15 right off the bat, as soon as it happens "prelim reports said man was carrying assualt rifle" didnt it end up being a handgun?

Its an agenda, and they are pushing full force

I completely agree with the premise.

Its my understanding that the vast majority of shootings occur in lower income urban neighborhoods, but one would never know it.

But I think there may be a slight distinction between people being shot vs shot and killed.

Well, the term mass killing is applied to any grouped murders of 4 or more. I would think that a mass shooting would meet the same criteria, shooting of 4 or more persons at one time, or in a very small, continuous time frame.

The last article that I saw, only CNN is currently saying it was a AR-15 and the shooter had a brown bag of 20 fully loaded magazines. The other major news outlets are still saying semi-automatic rifle, so that could be anything
