Gun violence is common in most inner cities, but it gets little coverage in newspapers read by the white community. Nothing shocks us enough to make us demand change.Īnd yet, mass shootings are only a minor contributor to the deaths from gun violence.
It doesn't matter where the shooting takes place - gay bar, church, primary school, university, shopping center, baseball game or on the street. We move on to other news until the next shooting. Nothing changes, except people buy more guns.
