Two more mass shootings take place in separate US cities — Philadelphia and Chattanooga

Six more people have lost their lives in another deadly day of gun violence in the US, with two mass shootings in separate cities.

The first incident occurred on a busy street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where hundreds of people were enjoying a Saturday night out.

Police heard multiple gunshots and witnessed several suspects firing into a large crowd just before midnight.

Two men and a woman were killed, while 12 were wounded.

Just a few hours later, a shooting near a nightclub in Tennessee led to three deaths.

Fourteen people were hit by gunfire and three were struck by vehicles as they fled the chaotic scene in the city of Chattanooga.

Police believe multiple shooters were involved in that incident as well.

Of the three killed, two people died from gunshot wounds and one person died after being hit by a vehicle.

Sixteen of the victims were adults and one was a juvenile and several remained in critical condition, according to Chattanooga Police Chief Celeste Murphy.

the guns arent the root of the problem.

the root of the problem is that americans have become nihilistic and lost.

they bounce out of bed with no positive aim, no direction in life.

they have outsourced most of their manufacturing so rich corps can make a bit more cash.

the chodes have been told that just being 'stimulated" by sugar, salt, fat, porn, disney land, hollywood ,nintendos,oxy, coke , alcohol and   outrage on social media will construct for them a "happy life"

nothing could be further from the truth

the lack of adversity and the addiction to momentary pleasures leaves them desperate and chaotic.

and that manifests as a will to destruction.

the idle mind is the devils playground

Terrible?  Absolutely.

Unbelievable?  No.  Mass shootings every single day in the US is the norm.

155 days into 2022, and already there have been 245 mass shootings.

EDIT: as I was typing that last line, another mass shooting was reported.

It's now 246 mass shootings in the US so far this year.

That's an average of 11 every week.

"Over the past decade, the Anti-Defamation League has counted about 450 U.S. murders committed by political extremists.

"Of these 450 killings, right-wing extremists committed about 75 percent.

"Nearly half of the murders were specifically tied to white supremacists."

Those links don't go far. I can only read the heading.

Even so ....the heading suggests to me that you think it's a right wing issue.

Here's your problem : President Biden (the guy you were so elated about coming to power) ... that Zionist guy ... yep him openly stated on television a few nights ago that the underlying issue in all this was ???? Mental Illness!

Tell me what you think of such a response. After that I'll tell you what our response was here as we looked at our TV screen...and then at each other.

Not me: every law enforcement agency, research institute, and court.

"In the 20 years since 9/11, far-right extremists killed more people in the US than did American-based Islamist fundamentalists – but that’s often hard to discern from the way the federal government has treated domestic terrorism."

Far-right terror poses bigger threat to US than Islamist extremism post-9/11

There are an awful lot of black right-wingers....






Last year saw the largest year-to-year increase in homicides ever recorded in US history. The homicide rate in 34 cities was 30 percent higher in 2020 compared to the previous year, according to a Jan. 31 report by the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice.

Victims of these homicides are disproportionately African American. At least 8,600 black lives were lost to homicide in 2020, an increase of more than 1,000 compared to 2019 (7,484). Violent crime is concentrated in primarily low-income, marginalized black communities where the police are underresourced and Democratic leadership has abysmally failed. In Chicago, 80 percent of gun-violence victims in 2020 were black. According to the latest data in New York City, 71 percent of shooting victims are black — even though black people constitute just 26 percent of the city’s population. The tragic reality is one black life was killed less than every hour in America last year.

Meanwhile, politicians and the mainstream media sensationalize and magnify any questionable case involving a black suspect and a white police officer to affirm dogmas about “racial oppression” (even if the suspect was at fault). They obsessively lament racial disparities in every nook and cranny of American life, but the most egregious disparity — in homicide victimization rates — is rarely ever mentioned. Why?

Since more than 90 percent of black homicide victims are killed by black offenders, the ghost of endemic white supremacy cannot be invoked to push racial grievance narratives. As a result, the media turns a blind eye. Black lives only seem to matter when racism is involved.
