Mass shootings being redefined

#1

Post by Biker »

Looks like the media is adopting the correct definition of a mass shooting, much to the chagrin of Ricky and other leftists. I wonder what is prompting this? If I had to guess, the administration is willing to sacrifice the white supremist narrative and throw the blacks under the bus in order to advance their gun control agenda. This change in media messaging has only began since Buffalo/Uvalde
Two mass shootings hours apart on South and West sides of Chicago, 14-year-old boy among the wounded

CHICAGO - At least 15 people were shot in Chicago Tuesday, including eight wounded in two mass shootings hours apart on the South Side.

A 14-year-old boy was among four people wounded in Altgeld Gardens around 3:35 p.m., police said. They were near a courtyard in the 13000 block of South Champlain Avenue when someone approached and opened fire, police said. The teen was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in good condition with a gunshot wound to the arm, police said. A man, 24, was shot in the face and a woman, 45, suffered a graze wound to the chest. Both were taken to the University of Chicago in good condition. A fourth victim went to the University of Chicago with a gunshot wound to the arm, police said. Their condition was unknown.

Four people were wounded in Lawndale on the West Side around 8:45 p.m. They were standing on a sidewalk in the 1200 block of South Lawndale Avenue when someone approached and opened fire, Chicago police said. A 43-year-old woman went to Saint Anthony’s Hospital in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the chest; another woman, 30, was shot in the face and went to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition; a 27-year-old man was taken to Mount Sinai in good condition with a gunshot wound to the leg; a second man, 26, was shot in the left shoulder and taken to Mount Sinai in good condition.

A man, 22, was shot and killed while standing on a sidewalk in the 7100 block of South East End Avenue. He was hit in the back and chest, and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died, police said. His name hasn’t been released.

Late Tuesday, a 17-year-old boy was wounded around 10 p.m. in Englewood on the South Side. He was walking on the sidewalk in the 6900 block of South Perry Avenue when someone approached and fired, police said. He was shot in the leg and was dropped off at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was in good condition, police said.At least five others were wounded in the city Tuesday.

Also, to clarify; the media/Dems (all one in the same) old standard of a mass shooting had to include a semi automatic rifle, like an AR-15. Now that they are including handgun shootings, ask yourself why

This was less than a month ago and shows how quickly the media and their Dem counterparts like Rick, have thrown in the towel on the old definition.

It doesnt, but when was the last time prior to Buffalo that you saw the term mass shooting used in reference to a gang affiliated shooting involving four or more people being shot? Hint, you havent, and thats my point. There is a concerted effort by the media/Dems to change perceptions of what a mass shooting means. My guess is that they want to include handguns as part of their new gun law initiatives

Yep. And I just did a random search for multiple gunshot victims in Chicago to see how the media reported it. This from only 1 year ago and no mention of mass shooting
7 People Shot Overnight in Chicago as Gun Violence Rises 50% in City

Seven people were shot overnight in Chicago after a group got into a fight late Monday night.

Chicago police said six men and one woman were shot in the city's Englewood neighborhood, near 68th and Justine streets, around 11 p.m. after a fight broke out on the sidewalk and shots were fired.

The police department told Newsweek that the woman was seriously wounded, while the six men were described as being in good or fair condition. The 39-year-old female is at the University of Chicago Hospital after suffering gunshot wounds to the left arm and abdomen.

There is no one in custody at this time. Detectives are investigating the incident.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact law enforcement officials or to submit a tip anonymously online at CPDTIP.com.

The news comes as Chicago faces rising levels of gun violence.

The most recent weekly crime statistics from the Chicago Police Department show that there has been a 50 percent increase in shooting incidents during the week of March 22 to March 28, when compared to this time last year.

Atlanta, just shortly before Buffalo. No mention of it being a mass shooting
Police: 6 shot, 3 fatally at a greater Atlanta condo complex

Authorities say a shooting in the greater Atlanta area has left three people dead and three others wounded


ByThe Associated Press
May 09, 2022, 5:30 AM

ATLANTA -- A shooting at a greater Atlanta condominium complex has left three people dead and three others wounded, police said, adding no arrests were immediately made.

Police in Dekalb County said the six people were shot Sunday night at the complex near Clarkston, a community in a suburb east of Atlanta.

Lt. Shane Smith, a county police spokesman, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that people calling 911 reported shots fired shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday at the Brandon Hill condominium complex and that arriving officers found five people had been shot, three fatally.

The newspaper report added that the two wounded persons were taken to hospitals with serious injuries and a sixth shooting victim arrived later at a hospital in the area. The condition of the sixth victim wasn't immediately known and police did not immediately release the names of the victims or other details of what had happend.

Smith told the newspaper that no suspect or suspects were in custody later Sunday night following the shooting, adding police detectives were interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence.

A dispatcher handling after-hours police calls early Monday told The Associated Press she had no statement or additional information for immediate release.

its impossible to come up with definitions that completely fit things. I think that most people, whether they admit it or not, see some kind of difference in a gang style shooting that involves 3 or 4 people (over a drug deal, or turf war, or revenge whatever) and a guy that walks into a store or school and just randomly starts shooting people for the thrill of it. The same as people see a difference in a terrorist doing it for whatever political movement they are seeking attention.

the end result is dead people, but the motives are much different. and a person could waste hours and hours of time debating the topic and never get anywhere.

Nope, not even close. Its why the FBI defines it as a shooting incident involving four or more victims. The media has always twisted it
