An improvement!
Looks like its most likely gang related.  I'm already not seeing much about it on the national news.  It'll be gone by Thursday. >

I wish we didn't have this attitude of "oh, it's okay because it's gang related." >

You and me both.  In my job, and my 22 year career, I'd say roughly 80-90% of the shootings that I've handled have been gang related.  People don't really seem to care about those, or see a reason to prioritize it as it happens A LOT more than the other types of shootings do.
If you want an example of systemic racism, well, that's it. >

It’s fucking impossible to look at the news and NOT see another fucking mass shooting. >

It seems to be escalating a lot. I recall just a year or so ago thinking "Dayum, it's almost every week." Now it's a daily item. >

I'm pretty sure it's more or less on par for the past few years.
647 mass shootings last year.
44,000 dead to gun violence in 2022. >


647 mass shootings last year.

1.77 mass shootings per day.
And we're at 51 so far this year, or 1.70 mass shootings per day.
