It’s a lot of people shot in a short time frame. I thought the gun control advocates would care but it’s not a story that get lots of play because it’s not a mass shooting.
Gun control advocates do care. It’s the media that doesn’t care because it isn’t an exciting enough story to get attention.
That’s what I think too.
It’s fodder for discussion. I’m not sure what Frink is saying with his comment.
He was obviously saying that you wrote your post to make it sound like 60 people were shot in a single mass shooting in Chicago.
I wrote it to describe what happened in Chicago: 60+ people were shot. It’s obvious that leaves out a lot of detail (for instance some people died) but that’s what the link is for. It’s not like it was actually a water gun shootout at a water park, so I don’t see how my inexact headline was misleading in an important way. 60+ people were shot, a dozen dead.
If the remarkable thing is that it wasn’t a mass shooting, well okay.
