Almost 50 people shot in Chicago this weekend

As of this moment no arrests have been made. Does this seem odd to anyone or am I just being a Karen?

News flash... 14 more people shot Tuesday night in Chicago. Did anyone catch all the news about the mass shooting on CNN? Oh wait, they didn't cover it. I guess it wasn't worth covering. Never mind.
It doesn’t fit the narrative. CNN ONLY covers white on black crime or when white people go on shooting sprees. When a black man does it? Nary a blip on the news radar and brushed under the carpet. @irishmolly72

@irishmolly72 they did report it, as did MSNBC, etc. Of interest was that the deaths were all gun-related!

@samueltyler2 "A search of transcripts revealed that CNN and MSNBC did not mention the mass shooting in Chicago through midnight ET." You mean Brian Flood lied??? 🤨 I'll expect a retraction and a personal apology! :)

@irishmolly72 I saw the coverage myself. I could care less about what transcripts you claim you saw.

@samueltyler2 One thing you do not see on liberal controlled fake news is that when there are shootings, robberies or rapes they do not say or show the race of the person / people doing the crime most often. I have seen this often but on the local news when they catch the person you then find out they were black or hispanic.

@acpguy I am not sure what you are arguing about. I don't disagree. Unfortunately, our bias is currently, that, when one hears of gang killings, we automatically think Black or Latino. I remember not long ago gangs were automatically considered Italian, Mexican, etc. I am not in law enforcement so don't have first hand information. The description of race involvement is no different when describing murders in liberal or conservative media. Recently studies have shown that it is unusual for someone convicted of killing a Black person to.get as heavy a penalty as one killing a white person. Another subliminal bias?

They only report gun or covid19 deaths@samueltyler2 @samueltyler2
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Baremine who is the "they," and, what is your point?
Baremine · 70-79, C
@samueltyler2 the left wing media. They do not support law and order.

@DukeOfEarle what about the innocent kids that were killed? did we see that on CNN or MSBDUNCE ? no...where was the glass carriage for the black police officers killed? did their black lives matter?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Baremine that is such a far put statement as to be ludicrous! Are you blowing abrogate whistle when you use the term "law and order?" You must know what that term infers when used the way you are using it!
Agreed. CNN and MSNBC have a narrative they follow. They are not concerned about black-on-black crime. They are not concerned about black-on-white crime. White-on-black crime? The motivation is always racist. White people are judged by the color of their skin. Ironic, isn’t it? @akindheart
akindheart · 61-69, F
@DukeOfEarle but they also forgot to shed light on all of Floyd's crimes. ironic? yep. but his death was tragic. for sure
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@akindheart if you look at his record though, as posted in the news, his last arrest was many years ago. He was no saint, seemed to be trying to turn his life around, and probably committed no crime this time. Have you noticed NO report of the bill said to be "thought to be counterfeit," actually being counterfeit? What does that suggest?
akindheart · 61-69, F
@samueltyler2 he was being arrested for check forgery is what i understand at the time of his death. his arrests were habitual. but i will check out my fact again.
The cop who murdered Floyd is in jail. That’s where he belongs. For years I have heard rhetoric that we should not judge Muslims based on the actions of a few. But for some reason that same logic does not apply to cops. That same logic does not apply to non violent law abiding gun owners. MSM is never balanced in their reporting. Floyd held a gun at a woman who was pregnant so his cohorts could rob her house, yet now he is some kind of saint? It’s a crock of shit that only stupid people or the paid trolls on this site defend. @akindheart
akindheart · 61-69, F
@DukeOfEarle wasn't he being arrestedfor check forgery at the time of his death?
A fake 20 dollar bill. More were found in his vehicle as well@akindheart
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@akindheart no, they were arresting him for , allegedly, passing a counterfeit bill! the videos of him being stopped in his car and his saying please don't shoot me, then being "manhandled," and eventually the ridiculous sitting on his neck for 9 minutes, essentially killing him was difficult to watch!
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@DukeOfEarle Where did you see the fact that it was in fact counterfeit? I would like to see that myself. I have asked many times for proof, I haven't seen any. If you have it, please share it.

Multiple media outlets are reporting the bills were counterfeit. The store where he attempted to use the money claimed it was counterfeit. Wadded up bills were found all over Floyd’s car. Floyd was reported to be “digging in his pockets” by police when he was asked a dozen times to exit the vehicle. It was later the wadded up counterfeit money was found in several locations inside his vehicle.[image deleted][image deleted]

@samueltyler2 Try looking at numbers when they are reported. Most of the shootings are by blacks and hispanics. Most murders and rapes are by black and hispanics. If they are minorities then I would say it this tends to show they commit the most violent crimes. And if you look at statistics you will find that in liberal controlled states / cities blacks and hispanics have been getting released much earlier than violent white criminals. Try looking at numbers and not what the fake news tells you.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@DukeOfEarle whT is your source? The police say they did not release such information.
I already reported what the media AND the store where Floyd attempted to use the bills reported. AND Floyd also attempted to empty his pockets of the bills as was clearly shown in the photos. Why would he do that unless there was some KNOWN problem with them? @samueltyler2
