We've been repeatedly asked to just deal with gun violence and at the same time asked to just deal with terrorism. I mean who even talks about the last mass shooting BEFORE Orlando yesterday or the last terrorist attack in the UK BEFORE the concert a week or so ago?

The powers that be want you to just accept violence as a healthy part of life...they're too busy making money to care.

Excellent point, Charles. It was openly yesterday and there is little on any new service about it. Just a week or so ago eight were shot dead in Mississippi. We have become so inured to gun violence here in the U.S. that unless it has some kind of political overtones to it, mass shootings -or any shootings- are just business as usual.

It's also been a year since Orlando and nothing is better in fact if I recall there was a bunch of hubris from the left saying guns were over.

Why the quest for equivocation of news coverage? There is nothing that could do that for as many reasons as there are news outlets. That news got reported. Obviously the intensity of other events in the same time frame have their effect, but nothing can change that unless you want to eliminate the free press.

@3: I don't think you know what hubris means.

There is almost no information about the shooting in this article.
There are 2 links, and one of them is broken.

I DO remember the shooting in Orlando. How many remember the shootings at Columbine High School and Sandy Hook Elementary? This ultra-wrong-wing neofascist insanity has to be stopped. NOW.

@6 This is a standard approach for Charles. He complains that no one is covering a story, but nonetheless fails to provide any meaningful coverage of his own. I mean, you'd think the guy would follow his own principles and stick with some of these stories. but he moves on to the latest news just like everyone else.

See, for example:

Charles point is the disparate coverage.
The media doesn't seem to think it's as interesting to whip up fear of the murdering white men with guns who live in your town.

Though maybe not great for those murdered and their families (I'm not sure) I do think there's an argument for not blowing up the coverage of these shootings. Maybe(?) with less attention expected it won't be as compellling for the wackos contemplating mass murder.

@9 I appreciate this reminder call from Charles, but, stc, I like your encapsulation, so I will repeat it.

"The media doesn't seem to think it's as interesting to whip up fear of the murdering white men with guns who live in your town."

Also this family of 4 killed in Seabeck in January http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news…

Has everyone forgotten the shootings at the Cascade Mall in Burlington?
That's too close to home, as far as I'm concerned. How many are aware
of the gun shop on the Josh Wilson Road, just walking distance from an
elementary school? How many Sandy Hook tragedies does this state and
country need before the NRA and its homicidal maniac cyborgs are held
criminally accountable and dismantled?
