SO SAD...Violence seldom mentioned or reported nationally by the Media
 
This has been going on for a LONG time, especially so the last 3 months. Selective 'reporting' by national media, especially Network and some Cable News outlets. This increasing violence impacts our most vulnerable populations, and what is the primary focus of Media...defund police, neuter law enforcement, violent social unrest unchecked, and racial justice. ...but continue to turn a blind eye to the ongoing/increasing violence and murders in inner cities. Not only the Mass Media, but leaders of these communities, as well as civil rights leaders.

How would YOU feel if YOU or your family lived in these impacted communities amidst this violence and swept under the rug by national Press and their minions? I am perplexed and saddened.

Both Chic and NY have very strict laws restricting even ownership of guns.

Do gun confiscation laws pushed so hard by certain politicians work??

Just the facts - - no

Yep, there's a reason the media wants to push the police killing blacks racism meme even though it is statistically insignificant compared to black on black killings.

Not too hard to figure out why.

If only advertisers would put their money elsewhere this would stop in a heartbeat.

Instead we have lost Aunt Jemima to make the world a better safer place.

The silent majority has to stand and be counted.

We have all seen and continue to witness new ground being gained by political and special interest groups that are all in minority (not race) by comparison to the total American citizens.

The position that has too long been taken of it doesn't affect me or it is not in my back yard is no longer true. It is affecting us all. And it is in or coming to our back yards as well.

This will continue until such time as the silent majority finally gets to a point where enough is enough.

I agree, we need to find a way to speak up And be heard. It is not as easy as before. I posted on FB a quote from a former President, aninnocuous quote and immediately had a pop-up warning on my page. We are being censored, we are being misled, silenced and called names by those who have different opinions. We try fact check only to find that particular fact check site is a fake....so we chat on sites like this and try to bring some sanity into the situation.

I compare the Media to pond scum. They're both the same thing!

Honest people have hard time buying guns and ammo.
Crooks just steal it whats another charge on a rap sheet...Liberal lawyers and Judges give a slap on the wrist.
Law abiding owners pay the price

DeanFL 06-22-2020 01:24 PM

I doubt if THIS was shown on much of the national media either.

What does this solve? I'll stop my comments right there.>

the media is corrupt mostly, but we still have the voting power

anothersteve 06-22-2020 02:02 PM

HaHaHaHa.............this part cracked me up;

"It’s not clear whether any arrests have resulted from the looting and vandalism at either car dealership."

It would be a safe bet no arrests will ever be made. Freaking thugs!

Hmmmm.... surprisingly there doesn't seem to be any "dissenting" comments.

Why isn't this all over the MSM?

Questions Raised After Revelation That Suspect In Assault On 92-Year-Old Has Been Arrested 101 Times


A veteran law enforcement officer says the current system is failing the perpetrators and the police.

Chilling surveillance video shows the moment the 92-year-old was thrown to the ground in broad daylight last Friday, her attacker watching as she hit her head on a fire hydrant.

Police say the attacker is 31-year-old Rashid Brimmage, a registered sex offender with at least 100 arrests for charges ranging from assault, to resisting arrest and persistent sexual abuse.

Former NYPD chief Kevin Harrington says Brimmage is a case study in why the city’s no-bail policy needs to be revisited.

After watching this appalling video a few days ago, all I could think was > WHAT IF THE RACES OF THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS WERE SWITCHED? It would have made national news and instant coverage and condemnation by the Media. but no.
