Seems as reasonable an explanation as any...

Mass Shooting Evokes Meh From Media - Moonbattery
Normally, the liberal media establishment loves mass shootings. These opportunities to attack the right to bear arms are often celebrated for weeks and even months on end. But not all mass shootings are equal. There was one in Seattle last Wednesday that barely registered on the national news.

Marquise Latrelle Tolbert, William Ray Tolliver, and an unnamed third person pulled out guns and started shooting at each other during evening rush hour in a crime-ridden downtown area called “The Blade,” killing a bystander and wounding seven others, including a 9-year-old boy. Tolbert and Tolliver remained at large after the event, although Tolliver has now been caught.

NOQ Report explains why the shooting evoked a meh from the media:

• The suspects are Black. Gun control advocates prefer Caucasian suspects.

• Both had lengthy criminal records. Gun control advocates want previously law-abiding citizens to prove their points.

• It occurred in a gun-free zone in the mass transit section of downtown. Gun control advocates refuse to believe gun-free zones don’t work.

• As felons, both suspects were already prohibited from owning or carrying firearms. Gun control advocates do not like stories proving that gun control doesn’t work.

• All eight victims appear to have been caught in a crossfire of a dispute instead of being targeted following a racist social media post or a manifesto being published online. Gun control advocates like manifestos.

These are not the kind of suspects the media hypes, because they are reminders that law-abiding citizens need to be able to protect themselves:

On a tip from Lyle.

No, never said that.
I said they don't work.
And a high percentage occur in those places.

However, as you POSTED.


It occurred in a gun-free zone


So, no. Good Guy with a
Guuun..was even possible..
Thanks for playing and don't forget to go to the market place and get a new tub of butthurt cream.
I'm working on a mix that will continue to be ever so soothing but not screw up the texture if Muppet butt.

If I recall that was also what caused the parkland school shooting, someone whose child was killed analyzed it thoroughly and wrote a book about how the signs of the shooter were all ignored in favor of political correctness and not wanting to be a school to prison pipeline.

As a non gun owner and not a huge fan of it anyway, its these glaring failures that make me fear the gun control theories floating about. I am counting on a few well armed good citizens in the event I am where bad people with gun show up.
Maybe time to get myself armed, my wife has been showing signs she wants to. I've been reluctant to do so for now.

Cool.

I don't Want to carry, I don't have a CC license,, but I'm considering it.

Your odds of being where a
Good Guy with a Gun is are going up daily. When more people are armed, that is how it works. I know, lefties believe otherwise,, but look at reports..

Before CC became something unsurprising, nope,, not many reports of
Good Guy saving the day.

We need about fifteen percent of the average person out in public carrying, imo,, more would be fine

Everyone trains, not just safe handling and accurate shooting, but how to deal with a crowded crime scene and not add to the carnage..
As if cops can make that claim..

I am not worried about it in my house. I live between 2 cops, would have been 4 cops - cop, cop, me cop cop but the last cop quit.
I am more worried about getting arrested for shooting the bad guy, or worse, carrying in a "gun free" zone by error, or getting shot at a traffic stop because I have a CCP etc.

Cool.

At my previous house, the one thing that everyone around me "Knew" was that I was armed. Literally wasn't even a question. I dealt with a lot of very questionable people, and was everyone's friend. I was well known as a great friend and a terrible enemy. All without doing a thing. Well it may have been the fact I was out in the driveway all the time working on bikes and audio equipment talking to everyone who walked by. There were thefts at my neighbors house etc etc, no such issue in mine.
New house its too set back from the street and too few tightly packed neighbors that it doesn't happen even if I am outside working on stuff.

Cool.

The two suspects in this downtown shooting have been arrested 44 times with 20 convictions and 21 times with 15 convictions. Marquise Tolbert, the one with 20 convictions, had three felonies last year alone. You tell me how someone with three felonies in 2019 is walking around free and able to engage in a shootout that kills a woman and injures a bunch of other people, including a 9-year-old kid. Both Tolbert and William Tolliver, the other suspect, are just 24 years old. They both have previously been arrested and charged with drive-by shootings and unlawful possession of a firearm in 2018. So the courts knew full well that these were gun-toting gang members. Why did our justice system let them walk free? Why do we place criminals above law-abiding citizens?

"... the ignorant, irredeemable, utterly worthless members of some oppressed minority or other like these two dudes. They are not to blame for their actions. They just don't know any better and need sympathy and understanding.  

And those people know full well how to, play to, cry, act wounded, every chance they get. Simply because they have learned, the UL FDS Socialists, will coddle them.
