When it doesn't fit or help their narrative, the media just ignores it.

Police: The killing appears to be sexually motivated.
FBI: There is no evidence this crime is race related.
The killer himself: It wasn't a racist attack

The media: iT wAs rAcIsM

This would have only made local news but the perpetrator was white this time.

They only like to make it natinal if it's a white person

Maybe those people in Chicago were W**res that steal your wallet when you're pants are on the chair? I mean, along with also happening to be Asian.

OP inadvertently made a solid point, but it's not the one he thinks.

Gang violence is ignored BC it's largely contained within poor and minority communities, whereas the media spectacle machine gives lots of press to massacres committed by the world's chuddiest white men, and they are nearly always shitty white men committing them. Sometimes I wonder if they are just trying to provoke more to stir up racial tensions.

It's really sad that the govt in the US is totally uninterested in/seemingly incapable of redressing the issues of poverty and destitution that precipitate gang violence. It's ignored as an ugly, hidden shame.

I don't believe at all that OP is interested in taking a serious look at gang violence, though. He is just tryna deflect from the ugliness of another racist mass killing.

The media really needs to stop creating all this sinophobia. it has begun to boil over into "stochastic violence" much like the demonization of muslims undertaken to sell the "War on terror" led to so many mosques being burned and muslims attacked.

Definitely has been plenty of gang related homicide in Chicago but not sure if the incidents in question here were gang related or not.

According to link from the OP, many of the victims were from a mass shooting at a party and one of them was a cop who got shot across the street from the f*cking police station.. I could easily imagine a gang or gang member doing that but I didn't see any mention of gangs in the article though. One of 'em was a domestic dispute.

To be fair maybe that news article swept that aspect under the rug... idk. I haven't seen evidence of it though.

Also as far as the OP meme, the media wants $$.. if they reported nationwide on shootings in Chicago every time they happened
1. People might be like.. shootings in Chicago again. *change channel*
2. Covering those stories with any amount of depth might block out however many other news stories.

Most liberal viewpoints are about as detailed and profound as your average bumper sticker. “Stop Hunger”, “Free Tibet”, “Save the World” and other grandiose campaigns are far more complicated issues than they would ever care to explore. To a liberal, merely wearing the tee shirt or slapping on the bumper sticker means that they are somehow “helping act. In their eyes, the rest of us are “part of the problem”. As such, remember that the simple act of debating or disputing their views places you in their sights as "part of the problem". This is one of the main reasons for the contempt, hostility and outright vitriol that the liberal will throw in your direction.
Liberals are largely unencumbered by burdensome hangups like history, facts or logic. This makes debate rather difficult because all their views are based almost entirely on how they FEEL, not that which is practical or realistic. This is often carried to the point of absurdity. In many cases, liberals will hold views that actually contradict their own views. Try and point out these obvious conflicts, and they resort to the aforementioned name-calling and slander. It’s a textbook liberal debate tactic.

Cool rant about liberals debating based on feelings but considering nothing you said here has anything to do with the topic at hand and seems to lack any actual facts, it would almost seem like you have become the very thing which you swore to destroy.

They're not liberals, they are leftists. Liberals are 90% the same as conservatives.

Gang on Gang violence (and Gang on Citizens) is ignored bc it happens in predominantly Democrat run cities. Its ignored because it doesn't fit the narrative. Its ignored because it doesn't sell papers and airtime ad space.

I agree with you on financial disparity - but only half of Gang Crime is due to financial disparity. The illegal activities that gangs partake in also happen to be very profitable - with no consideration for paying taxes, unless the gang is smart enough to run a money laundering business.

The OP isn't deflecting against the racist attacks on Asians - but rather particularly pointing out the duality of the news. Non-Stop coverage over murders that were racially motivated -- while there was zero coverage for 5 times the amount of murdering, out of Chicago. He made a poor choice in saying it's every weekend... Its not. It could be any given weekend and the numbers are like that - but in reality it was a high weekend for Chicago.

Lastly when you say xenophobic and the media needs to stop driving it? You are correct. It does need to stop glorifying it, bc like you stated earlier, its to stir up racial tensions. The Muslim example though - is a bit off on topic, because in that time, we were attacked by a radical sect of that group of people. And due to their religion, anyone in that religion could be related in faith or gang - to the people that attacked us.

Thankfully - only a few mosques got burned down, because like the Muslim extremists - there are very few racist extremists of white America. But look what the media did with the event.... Fox News played up the probability of Muslims being "terrists" - other news outlets played up the importance of not bringing this issue to your Muslim neighbors...

The media is just an outlet of the 1% elite to keep the other 99% non-elites fighting amongst themselves.

Mass incarceration and gang violence occur in cities whose govts are dominated by both parties and both parties are halves of a fascist duopoly. This whole "democrat cities" thing is a deflection from the bipartisan nature od the punishment bureaucracy.

You're approaching a correct analysis on the "stochastic violence" thing. the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are white. These attacks on Asians didn't start happening until the Obama admin started pushing a new cold war in 2012, but they really kicked into high gear with all that China virus bullshit coming out of the trump administration and the escalation of diplomatic tensions. As I said before and you seem to agree, the party system is a duopoly and this is demonstrated by the continuity of Trump's hatred through the Biden admin.

The way that the hustle works is the Dems introduced this shit low-key under Obama, trump inflames it with open racism. Biden then takes office, continues Trump's aggressive policies, but reverts to the Obama era rhetoric and pretends that it isn't running the same shit.

You and I really don't disagree that much honestly. I also do this for entertainment purposes to keep myself amused and busy. & I honestly enjoy the back and forthery we have had this last week. :)

Yeah but those shootings in Chicago are mostly separate incidents. The crime level in Chicago is a problem. The shooting in Atlanta was a mass shooting and a racist hate crime.

Yea, we should only take crime seriously if it involves race... those black kids in Chicago getting caught in gang crossfire can go on the back burner for now.

That wasn't a hate crime. Also he's alive and expected to make a full recovery.

right , as long as race is not involved, we can completely forget about all the murders around the country .. like the 9 year old that got his head blown off in a drive by Saturday night.. as long as black people are killing each other .. f**k um.. right?

Who is forgetting about them. They are still notable and people still hear about them. There are millions of murders a year. People hear about murders they just don't discuss them because they are not relevant to discussion. Racist hate crimes are shown the most attention now because America is trying to progress and educate to prevent further hate crimes. It is heartbreaking that a 9 year old got killed in a drive by but it is not relevant to the discussion of racist hate crimes. It is a matter for the police to handle.

There are a TON more murders in this country that aren't race related. Which means it is selective media.

Did you not read the damn comment?

Its called repeating agreeable info...

How about teaching inner city kids how not to be gang members that are actually causing 70 -90% of the total murders each year? You think a hate crime is worse than a gang murder, simply because race was involved? The little kid that died is tragic and happens far , far more often than your "hate crimes", You are so hyper focused on "race " because that is what the tv tells you is important, when in actuality "hate crimes" are a campfire, and gang murders is the forest burning down.

Millions???

oh wow yeah that was way off. I misinterpreted a statistic. Happens to the best of us>

13 in one incident in Chicago bruh.

Then why did he shoot white people then? He just shot up the rubntugs he was a customer at because he blamed them for perpetuating his addiction. Asians just happen to be the number one workers at these spots...many being here illegally and working off a debt to their providers in the form of sexual servitude. Whites and others just work independently out of their homes or do out-calls. Not even the cops are calling this a "racially" motivated crime, just the media and ignorant leftists.

The cops aren't holding him accountable because he had a bad day. *cough cough* white privilege*cough*

He's literally in jail being held accountable...for shooting 8 people, 6 of which happen to be Asian, 2 white. You just want him punished for being white...racist much? Because your narrative isn't supported by anything other than media hype. Let's never mind the glaring fact that Asians are the most racist people on the planet as a whole. Their whole culture is devoted to racial purity, which is why you don't see much intermingling with other races except in Western countries. But you hang on to that white guilt you're spreading.

I know he's in jail. You have to admit that if he wasn't white the cops wouldn't say shit about a bad day.

I don't have to admit something so stupid. Cops only report what he said was his reason. Same as the other people. He's still goes under trial for first degree murder.

That's what the shooter said himself.

40 huh?

That seems pretty crazy.

Were they all by the same guy who bought a gun that day?

Or maybe you just made that number up?

I bet you just made that number up.

Wrong, 40 is accurate, 13 shot in one incident.

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2021/03/15/chicago-weekend-gun-violence-march-14-2021/

I accept your apology.

Okay. What's your point in pointing that out though?

What if the media did cover it? What if they did cover 40 shootings and 2 deaths in Chicago?

What would you say? Would you say "oh, well, it's Those People that are causing the problems."

What would you say if 30 people were shot and 5 died in Birmingham?

How does pointing out that we have a gun violence problem in another place mean anything other than we have a gun violence problem in this country?

It is not a "gun problem", it is a culture problem. We have had guns in this country since its birth - Democratic leadership in blue cities that are soft on crime , allow gangs to form and control city blocks. Here in Chicago, Chicago PD knows exactly where the gang headquarters are and their base locations, but they are not allowed to break them up because they are in black majority areas - and The democrat leadership doesn't want the stigma of " profiling" to tarnish this names. There are 400 million Guns and 80 million legal gun owners in America, if guns were the problem, America would be a wasteland. Thug mentality and anti cop culture is what is driving 90% of the problems in our cities.

See, this "soft on crime", "culture problem", "thug mentality" and "anti-cop" is from the "it's those people" racism bingo card.

Congrats, you just won racist bingo.

Being soft on crime didn't cause the guy in Atlanta to gun down Asian women. The guy who shot up King Souper in Colorado: was that because he was anti-cop?

And what exactly is thug mentality?

What about the guy in Texas who pulled a gun on a convoy of National Guard who were taking vaccine doses to another city in Texas? He tried to force them off the road and held them at gun point because he thought they were up to something.

Is that the fault of cities?

Chicago , Detroit , LA , Indianapolis , New Orleans, and so many others have an underground culture , I call it thug culture but you can call it anything you like. Little Kids get born into it, it is a gang culture , it raises kids to be murderers, it teaches them to sell drugs, can you really tell me , you don't see a violent culture in these cities that are responsible for 70 -80 % of the homicides yearly?

The point is media won't talk about that since it shows the failure of gun control laws.

40 every weekend isn't accurate, which is what the OP basically stated ... But meme is on point.
