Unfortunately, the mainstream media does not differentiate between gang-related, drug-related, DV-related or just plain criminal stupidity when it comes to multiple gunshot victims from the same incident.
They're all "mass-shootings." And it's always made out to be the fault of guns, Trump, white folks, and the NRA.
That most multiple shootings are, in fact, gang-related, does not garner any follow up in the MSM, particularly if all the players were black or Hispanic. Which, gosh, mostly they are...
While the initial reporting of the Buffalo shootings was all about white supremacy, and the talking heads (The View, MSNBC, CNN, the usual suspects) ALL attributed the incident to white supremacy and immediately blamed Trump, the Republican Party and White Replacement Theory -- isn't it fascinating that NONE of these media mobs followed up with the actual information that the shooter considered himself LEFT-WING while his "manifesto" talked crap about Republicans and, can you believe it, didn't even mention Tucker Carlson.
This is what I said on another forum the other day:
And this morning, I read an op-ed piece by an historian (African-American) linking our country's "relaxed gun laws" to basically, institutionalized racism ("this country was founded upon") and the need for White Americans to keep Black Americans in check -- she actually came right out and stated gun-ownership in this country is directly related to "white replacement theory" -- apparently, yet another reason Americans buy guns.
When gun-control efforts become about fighting white supremacy -- which, if you're paying attention, is what's coming out of the Buffalo murders -- Houston, we have a problem.
Frankly -- and most here understand this -- the plain truth is that the truth doesn't matter anymore.
