1. I wonder if this shooting tragedy will get the same coverage as El Paso and Dayton.

It happened about the same time as Dayton and doesn't seem to be hitting the news much.

6. Black victims mean the media won't care who the shooter was

There was a depressing as hell study where they asked journalism students to sketch out an article about a shooting at Delaware State University based on just the police blotter. The differences between the group that was told DSU is an HBCU and the group that wasn't were depressing as fuck.

7. Of course not. There were 978 shootings in Chicago the first six months of 2019

Most involving people of color so the national media ignores it.

4. This will not get the attention it needs.

On the same weekend were 29 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, the city of Chicago is reeling after 25 people were shot in several incidents over a four-hour span early Sunday morning.

The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals. One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, was listed in critical condition after being shot in the groin, and the other six victims all were in stable or good condition after the incident, according to authorities.

During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene......

In all, 43 people have been shot in the city of Chicago since Friday evening, according to figures released by the Chicago Police Department. Three of the victims were fatally wounded, with several more still listed in critical condition as of Sunday evening. Most were gang/drug related.
Wow.
