I guess some killings are more newsworthy than others. You had more people shot and injured in Chicago this weekend than you did Dayton. You also had nearly as many death in Chicago as Dayton, yet the Chicago killing don’t make any national headlines. Why is that? These seven people dying and 53 injuries were done by two different mass shootings in Chicago, yet somehow, it’s not news. Maybe the Russians or even video games made the killers in Chicago do it.
