Gauge the Outrage (UPDATE)

  • A gunman opened fire Sunday at an online video game tournament as it was being livestreamed from a Florida mall, killing two people and then fatally shooting himself in an attack that sent several others to hospitals, authorities said.
So two dead (plus the gunman) and none wounded.

What do we call that around here? Friday night.

We're already seeing the blame game being played by the usual bad actors, libtards and media mouth-breathers.

Compare that to the non-existent national coverage of another bloody Chicago weekend. We guess it's only news when middle class people shoot unarmed people in a "gun free" zone.

UPDATE: Talk about your ironic twists:
  • Early reports say the shooting began at the Good Luck Have Fun Video game room inside Chicago Pizza, according to WJXT News4Jax.
Who would have ever associated the name "Chicago" with unrestrained violence??

1 yr ago the gunman considered himself to be a
"7-seed."
Things didn't work out so well this year. Some
egomaniacs are crushed when they lose to a better
player and realize there will be no trophies.
Parents should have beat his ass years ago to get a
REAL JOB.

My kids are 8 and 5 and have never played a video game ever. When they play they play outside with friends like we did growing up or with toys and books. Video games and phones do nothing but turn kids into absolute lazy zombies. I’m glad because now my kids actually want to just play outside and my kid said a few weeks ago that games look boring and can’t understand why kids wanna just do that all the time. I agree and I’m very glad that they are growing up without video games. It’s parents fault too.. it’s the easy way out for the parents to just throw an Xbox infront of them so they don’t have to parent as hard. Go back to basics folks when times were simpler..

Wait. What? He wasn't an NRA member? (Whispers, "We can balme them anyway!)

It is the norm for Chicago, but not for Jacksonville, Fla.

I heard about the shooting right after it happened on the national news on the radio. Went to Ch 7 news Chicago and on their site it said the suspect was a white male. Right now they have two stories up now from Jacksonville but no mention of white male. The original story has been replaced. Why in the earlier local did they point out the shooter was a white male. Would they have pointed put the same it the shooter was black. It seems when crimes occur in Chicago and the suspect is black it is usually not mentioned. Now there are two local stories, two people shot in Logan Square and description of getaway car, and an attempt murder/stabbing on the CTA red line by a convicted felon. In both crimes no mention of the race of the offender. It is curious Ch 7 knew the race of the offender all the way down in Jacksonville, Fl but not the races of these offenders in Chicago. Are they "sanitizing" the news here for you?

Adding this little snippet to the discussion. The Crook County officials extending condolences to victims and first responders on their tweeter account yet nary a peep from them with condolences for the families of 8 killed in a fire in their county on the same day and zero extending of comfort to anyone when over 2 dozen were shot in "mass shootings" in one weekend also in their very own fiefdom. No acknowledgement to CPD, CFD or the ER staffs that had to deal with the physical and emotional bloodbath of that weekend.

As posted by @CCDHSEM: Our deepest condolences go out to the victims of the mass shooting in Jacksonville. Our thoughts are with first responders working to protect the community and save lives.

Headline news is something out of the ordinary. A bunch of black people being shot up in Chicago is the norm, therefore not very newsworthy. Used to be the Capone factor that gave city the bad name now it is the Gang factor giving the city the black eye (oops poor racist choice of words). Should be a tee shirt vendor at airport that distributes shirts that say, I Survived a Weekend in Bloody Chicago. Free to everyone of Rahm's 55 million visitors.

It’s news because a white guy is the offender. He shot 2 people and every libtard in the country is screeching.

Yet we have 60 & 70 people shot every summer weekend, with 9, 10, 11 killed, yet there is no screeching here.

What’s the difference? No one really gives a fuck anyway - it’s all a show.

The offender was white.
Thus he was able to be slammed by the media.
Those everyday shootings of blacks by blacks are not newsworthy to the media.

The national news broadcasts used white male to describe the shooter several times driving the point home. Single shooting incidents of epic proportions occur in Chiraq weekly but I have yet to hear a black male described as a mass shooter or hear wall to wall national coverage.

The point is, I guess people of color don't matter in routine mass shootings in urban areas. Shame on the main stream media who assign importance on skin and socio-demographics. You have to acknowledge problems before you can address them. What is today's Russian collusion journalistic malfeasance hit piece as opposed to all that weekend violence in one of the nation's largest cities? Where is the outrage?

They actually interrupted a financial radio show I was listening to and when I heard two shot and ten wounded, I wondered why don;t they interrupt when an Englewood block party totals two dead and 17 shot. Is it that the national news does not care about beautiful Chicago anymore? WTF?

Hey and ironically the "community" shut down the out-bound Ryan this morning but not with a protest. The shut down all outbound lanes and the locals then just the express lanes. What you say , did I miss and unannounced protest from the Revrunds ? Nope you did not , the "community" brought the pain to Monday morning rush hour by not being able to keep their running Gang Battles on the surface streets and brought it to the Dan Ryan once again.

Every Chicago media read, WHITE MALE.'
Reporters are vultures. One of the first question asked was race.
Once white male was stated, Chicago media listed these words on the headlines. 'Most don't bother reading an article.

Nowadays, when I read about a murder, etc, and description isn't mentioned, I know.....

MASS SHOOTINGS (3 or more per outing) are very common in Chicago and very overlooked by Rahm’s FakeNews Ministers.
At least two a week since July for starters.

Blame video gaming and the culture thereof ?

Interesting topic is this e-Sports phenomenon, not just the football, b-ball etc that the tech society deems fruitfully productive.
The developers don’t mention there’s been street thugs boasting they get their firearms training from them.
Drug altered rancide brains of troubled youth that can’t handle the adrenaline rush from the violent video game of stalking, chasing and shooting or driving to evade.

There are now universities forming varsity e-Sports competitions and foregoing traditional contact sports programs.
Some future the kids have, a sit in your ass-let the givmint support you couch potato society...mostly male.
I guess if one can study cultural basket weaving and oppressive white society, video gaming is just as degree worthy legitimate.
After all somebody else’s is paying for it.

It’s might not be entirely all on the careless parenting of the young, but what’s being taught in schools these days is more than how to be a sore loser, but a sore loser with avenues on how to get get even. Vengeance and defiance of law and order.


There’s a Far Side cartoon (Hopeful Parents, Far Side Gallery 4, 1991) of a kid in front of a tv playing a game with his parents dreaming of help wanted ads and the future the boy will have.

They cannot do, thus, they pretend they do.

Virtual reality.

Apply this to hunger, thirst, etc., and the result is not pleaasing to experience.

Too much food, not nearly enough reality = the beginning of this century.

For anyone trying to force blame towards gaming remember, your reading this from some sort of electronic device. And with all good parenting comes moderation. Same goes food, activity level, or screen time.
