Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

I actually have a different perspective on it, I think people stopped caring because it was a shooting where "only" 1 person was killed. Gun violence is so normalized that the only 2 reasons it got any coverage at all is because of the timing and the target.
This is potentially the grimmest perspective I’ve ever read. I don’t think you’re wrong, either.
Yea, it's a pretty dark realization. I don't feel bad for Trump. I feel bad for every single gun death that has occurred leading to this incident being a minor footnote.
We didn’t even mention gun violence, the only conversation was motive.
The same week that Jamar Clark, there was a mass shooting at the warehouse district blue line stop. 3-4 people died with a few more shot.
Jamar was shot by cops. The others were shot in a gang dispute (the victims were not associated, but mostly black, the shooter was black, iirc,)
You won’t find the names of the victims anywhere online.
Also, before Sound Bar closed down, there were weekly gang fights spilling out of the joint, into the streets/lot out back.
People were shot monthly with a string of deaths for about 2-3 years.
Then a C-tier Vikings player got winged and suddenly they yeeted the liquor license.
We’re absolutely desensitized and the only time we know about a stranger getting shot is because there was something about the case- killed by cops, the shooter was famous, the victim was famous, or it was some kid, or it was in the context of a mass murder and nothing else was going on.
Mannnnn flashback to me working valet at sound bar the night of their last shooting. Heard them pops inside the joint and we all book. Ladies spilling out the door tripping over each other. Goofy fucking night
That entire stretch of 3rd ave was sketchy. Pyramid (used to be tenth inning,) but the sign was spelled “Pyrmid”…
