Chicago Media Catches Up

Remember, you don't hate the media nearly enough:

• ABC Channel 7 - GLEN ELLYN, Ill. (WLS) -- A suburban park district is investigating what happened over the weekend when staffers were overwhelmed by hundreds of young people.
• Fox Channel 32 - A rowdy crowd of teenagers and young adults prompted the early closure of a pool Saturday afternoon in Glen Ellyn.
• NBC Channel 5 - A suburban community pool closed early over the Fourth of July weekend after unruly behavior erupted when a large crowd swarmed the area, police said.

We're sure there's more, but one has to wonder why they waited almost four days to cover what ended up becoming a national story. It probably has to do with the video spreading far and wide to the point they couldn't actually ignore it any more and continue to call themselves "reporters."

Kind of the like the Philadelphia shooting where there were 3 dead and ten wounded - a far cry from Chicago's 4 dead and 14 wounded. What's the main difference?

• video of the shooting 

The Chicago shooting had a single grainy video of the suspect vehicle rounding the corner after unloading on the crowd. The Philadelphia shooting has four or more people upping their pistols and unloading down the block at another set of shooters, including some fool unloading a switched-Glock over the heads of six or more peoples (or folks) heads. 

We have to wonder how many of the dead/injured were friendly fire.
