Thoughts from the Windy City
Writing from south of your border here, from the Chicago area. There are literally people getting shot and killed everyday. However, the lame stream media downplays the violence unless the shooter is white and the shooting is deemed to be a mass shooting (which is four or more victims).
A typical weekend in summer the city averages 40 to 60 shootings, there are websites that joke about the over/under on the number of victims.
Most of the victims approximately 85% are black, there will be outrage for a short while until the next weekend. It's a cycle that repeats itself over and over.
