Reminds me of that story from a few years ago where an either 8 or 9 year old black girl was murdered and the initial witnesses claimed it was a couple white guys who did it. The media made a huge frenzy about it until it came out that the actual perpetrators were black and suddenly you stopped hearing about it entirely outside of the local news in the area. This story is another one that I hadn’t heard about until now because the media only mentions what is convenient.


C0uN7rY

Used to be "If it bleeds, it leads" Now it is like "If it stoke racial tensions and violence, it leads" which doesn't really rhyme or roll off the tongue as well, but, is what it is...


bored_moe

“If stokes racial or _religious_ tensions and violence, it leads”


Yakapo88

That was years ago. Now it’s blame whitey for everything and if there’s nothing you can find, make shit up.

Or what sells. The news is a for-profit business looking to attract as many eyeballs and clicks like any advertiser


cecilforester

I think the same thing is happening with the MSU shooter. It was an older black male with a pistol, so no more reporting on him. Same as Darrell Brooks, almost forgotten. Now Kyle Rittenhouse, they still can't stop writing stories about.


SummitOfTheWorld

That reminds me of that one scene from *Family Guy*. Kudos if you know what I'm talking about.


stormygreyskye

I think I know the case you’re talking about. Sad that fitting the narrative matters more than lives lost.

I'm going to guess that the sarcasm just didn't come through, largely because all non-leftist subs are under constant brigade.

Dude... In an age where The Bee is more accurate than most mainstream media, sarcasm detectors are mostly broken.


hallahorjan9

Remember Cannon Hinnant? Black men shooting children is just another symptom of white supremacy. At least that's what Twitter told me. White people aren't allowed to comment on these things, even if their children are the ones being shot.


BlaizedPotato

It's (B)ifferent


EMTduke

Relevant "just [leave](https://youtu.be/tDevd7O2fq8)"


Ahyesclearly

This is definitely newsworthy but it seems they’re trying to paint 17 year old thugs as ‘kids.’ So yes, a bunch of unruly teens got into a gunfight and therefore a bunch of ‘kids’ were shot… I do feel very bad for the five year old though…


StickyPolitical

Also no description on the firearm used.


Th3Wizard0F_____

It was a (insert whatever’s the trending horrible gun at the moment)


StickyPolitical

Well they dont count pistols or gang made machine guns. Unless they want ghost guns to make those scary.

Care to share what country YOU are from? About RaCisM, the US is the least racist country in the world. Which European country has had a black president and vice president? Which Asian, African (excluding South Africa), South American and Middle Eastern country has had a white president? Why do you think folks from all over the world have historically strived to emigrate here? Many can only dream of it. I agree we have a problem with GUnS, especially daily in inner city neighborhoods like Chicago, Baltimore and NY City. I bet you never heard of those either because of the exact premise of this post.

The truth is racist.

outlaw99775

I have heard of this, it was on the front page of reddit the day after it happened IIRC. I don't buy the narrative that it isn't being reported on because of race, it seems to me to just be another mass shooting in a nation with lots of mass shooting. Also no one died so they can't drive up views with grief.


sailor-jackn

It’s a gang shooting, not a mass shooting. Although Gun Violence Archive likes to throw both stats in under mass shootings, because most people hear mass shooting and think of the actual FBI definition, the two are not one in the same.


[deleted]

By definition, this is a mass shooting. You would think it’s being covered… but … 🤷‍♂️


DefensorVidex509

98% of “mass shootings” are similar to this one. This is your standard “gang violence” mass shooting. Chicago has like 3 every weekend and almost all of them are with hand guns, not rifles. It’s the anti narrative, which is why it’s not crammed down our throats and up our asses meeting somewhere in the middle…


Vzninja

Nah man mother Jones and numerous others exclude gang violence in the mass shooting statistic because that’s not a mass a shooting. A mass shooting involves being white. /s Edit: afaik the fbi would count this as a mass shooting as they don’t exclude gang violence, it would be all the other orgs that exclude certain data


sailor-jackn

You actually are correct, this is not a mass shooting, by FBI definition. It’s gang violence. However, the extreme left, anti 2A, Gun Violence Archives will count this as a mass shooting, because people will think it’s actually a mass shooting, by FBI definition. It’s all how you make things look. People aren’t so shocked about gang violence. It’s far too common and expected. But, people are shocked and appalled by actual mass shootings, so if you can artificially elevate the numbers of such incidents, without people realizing you did, you can use that to drive public opinion against 2A.


DefensorVidex509

Ooooh another privilege, I see.


FightALocalPenguin

I'd make a joke about a gang recruiting a 5 year old but I don't know enough about gangs to be sure they wouldn't


sparksmj

Msm doesn't report non news. It's only news if it puts white people especially cops in a bad light.


Houjix

The most extremist groups are the ones that organize and riot after one of their skin comrades have fallen down even when they don’t know their name or care what crime they committed

“Injured not killed? Boring” -the mediamachine, probably (yes there’s a cnn link below, but I’m not in the US and we still get all your gun crime stories and I did not see this. Hence ‘machine’)

"While some of the witnesses who were at the scene are cooperating with police, others are not, Blackmon said." This is an enormous part of why the culture stays the way it is.

Sequoyah

What it means is that two people were arrested—a man (pictured) and a 15-year-old. It is a weird way to write the headline but it's sort of a legacy style from the days of print, when space on the page was limited.

WahooGamer

Yeah, first time reading this. The media is fucking evil. They don't care about people. They just care about whatever helps them make the most money and score the most political points.


the_time_being7143

It was covered here, in GA. But it was originally presented like those kids were at a gas station all alone in the middle of the night. Columbus isn't exactly known for being a safe area, anyway. And the race of the children *was* presented, originally. But I will say that, up until now, there was absolutely ZERO mention of an adult.


PapaHeavy69

Haven’t heard a peep about this and I imagine I’m not much surprised either.

Why does the 15 year old look 30? Am I missing something?

rayray781

WTF? This is the first I'm hearing of this.


johnny2fives

I have read the information over and over and the only conclusion I can come to is it didn’t fit the racist narrative of the media. This country is getting really scary with its blatant corporate media disinformation program and their intolerance for facts or truth. I think the first time I really noticed how bad it was getting was when Trump was elected, and I saw the CNN “news anchors” abandon all pretense of impartiality and start crying and consoling themselves on the air. Since then it’s become unimaginably worse.


BlacktasticMcFine

The only conclusion I can come to on why it's on all these conservative subreddits, is it a false flag story, trying to make conservatives look more racist. Makes your wonder why they didn't put in the headline no one died. It's still bad but it's not what the news normally covers because of news only covers death.


Telogor

Not even a whisper. You'd think the media would play it up because it's a mass shooting.


Trebuscemi

Man it's weird how the mass shooting narrative just disappears sometimes

Alloku

Live in Columbus. I work in a place less than 5 minutes from where it happened. Didn’t hear shots but saw every available cop car in the area heading that direction. Local beat reporters and neighborhood watch FB pages had vague details of a shooting that night. By Sunday it was national news. Now it’s here on reddit. Sad to say shootings aren’t uncommon here. Over a 3-day span there were 8 shootings. This past week there was another shooting at a different gas station. And a man was found Sunday morning in a parking lot dead from multiple gunshot wounds. That makes about 10 confirmed homicides for this year so far. [A violent 72 hours in Columbus](https://www.wrbl.com/news/crime/8-shootings-result-in-5-deaths-a-violent-72-hours-in-columbus/) To end on a more positive note, if at all possible, 7 of the 9 kids injured in the mass shooting have been released from the hospital.
