There was a mass shooting last night at a South New Jersey high school football game. Five people were arrested and three were injured, including a 10 year old boy who is in critical condition.
Mass shooting at South New Jersey high school football game and it isn’t big breaking national news |
---|
So why aren’t the media screaming at the top of their lungs for gun control, and “Enough is Enough.” Because, like the weekly Chicago shootings, the shooters and victims in this mass shooting were African-Americans. Thirty-one-year-old Alvin Wyatt of Atlantic City has been charged with three counts of attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Michael Mack, 27, Tyrell Dorn, 28, Shahid Dixon, 27, all of Atlantic City and Vance Golden, 26, of Pleasantville have been charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and certain persons not to possess a weapon.
This is very much like the Alabama high school football shooting in which the shooter and victims were African-American and the media yawned. It’s kind of amazing the double standards when it comes to these shooting. When the shooter is white, and can be made to appear as if he is a Trump support or right wing, the media is all over it for a week. When the shooters and victims are African-American or any other minority, you barely hear about the shooting as if it never happened.

Scratch that ā news just coming this morning that shooter and co-conspirators were arrested. Alvin Wyatt and his getaway crew shown below. Gang violence? Probably. Gang violence is more prevalent and deadly than solitary mass shooters. Yet, it's ignored by racists. pic.twitter.com/rQBzSoTBiw
