Why are people so selective with their outrage against gun violence?

guy in NY kills two, wounds 9, and people are going craaaaazy. talking about the need for more gun control, how this is such a sad incident, etc.... and it is sad dont get me wrong

but where is the outrage when people get killed in low income minority communities? people get shot everyday... and i dont mean that it the funny camron paid in full way, i mean it in the straightforward this shyt really happens every day way.

but where is the moral outrage?

chicago is turning into mad max beyond thunderdome, murder rates at all time highs... inner city crime goin nuts all over the country, philly, baltimore, miami, oakland, st louis, up here in harlem these youngns are wildin the fukk out... and im definitely leaving some cities out, i could go on and on with the list

but where is the compassion?

secondly, stricter gun laws is just a band aid and wont really address the real issue. we gotta deal with people and their violent, destructive mentalities.

its not the guns, its the people. people gotta start having more respect for life. we kill over petty shyt and thats a real mental sickness, and it has to be cured if we truly want to solve the problem.

but then again what do you expect when we have such a violent culture? movies, video games, television shows, etc, all kill humans like its nothin... and of course that will have an effect on the mentality of the masses.

not to mention another big reason we have the right to bear arms is in defense of our biggest enemy... the government. the founding slave owning lucifer worshipping europeans of this country put that gun clause in there specifically with defense against the government in mind. cuz they knew power corrupts and one of the biggest checks and balances against a corrupt government is an armed populous.

but that's another reason we have such a violent social temperament is because our ruling class and government have such a violent temperament. our police force and military are probably the most violent in the modern world... and slaves always become like massa.

regardless of how many people kill people, its nowhere near the amount of people killed by the state. the organizations of the local, state, and federal government are responsible for far more american deaths than any other entity. but nobody ever says shyt about that either

we gotta get our priorities straight :stopitslime:

Uncertain grounds
knowing the right thing and doing the right thing are two separate pursuits, and, imo anyway, our populace in general is slowly losing the will/spirit to properly apply the knowledge of what's right to everyday life and transform the country from whatever state we are in, to whatever state we need to be.

something drastic needs to happen in order to get our priorities straight, sadly to say. otherwise, the american dream will continue to die as the train moves further down the wrong track.

at this point, i dont even blame the people themselves for improper opinions, or in your example, selectivity with outrage over gun control, because, honestly, the media and the gov't are feeding them what to think and trumpeting certain events more than others for a reason. sure they are stupid for being sheep, but its probably not their fault.

It's the whole broken windows effect...the way it's portrayed and maybe even a bit of reality it's almost the natural order of things that drug and gang violence is going to happen but "safe" business atmosphere puts fear into the rest of America because thats where they are and it affects them

And yeah it's a little bit racist to not care about the urban communities and treat it like the natural order of things

But I don't have an answer it's just a sad reality

You know what I’ve noticed? Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all “part of the plan.”

more or less.

It's because the media tells people when and how they are to think about every social issue that affects this country. This is just one of many issues were the media has told people when they should be outraged. The racial issue is just one tool in the total program, of media based mind control.
