Over the 2022 Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, 57 people were shot, nine fatally. Happens consistently. Chicago has supposedly strict gun laws. And yet…. Y’all talk about the “gun culture” but no one ever talks about the thug culture in our big cities. It’s not just Chicago. It’s New York, it’s Baltimore, it’s every big city. And it’s not just thugs shooting other thugs. It’s innocent bystanders Also getting killed, including kids.
This is a multifaceted problem. Look at the incredibly violent movies Hollywood puts out, then piously shakes their finger at “gun nuts.” Look at the first person shooter video games. Look at the open disrespect people on line, in the media, have for those with differing opinions.
I have no answers. But the media is happy to call the Tulsa shooting a mass murder, then ignore what’s going on in other cities.
