winner, winner, chicken dinner
That was my initial thought but....
I find it interesting how/why so many people on here choose to (and it seems at times actually want to) misinterpret someone else's sentiment.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Wait, did I sincerely win some chicken or are you just being sarcastic again?

7 or 8 (depending on what you heard/read) people shot in a single "incident" and yet my guess is 99.5% of Americans have no idea it happened.
Just another day in America.

But what's really important is whether or not you're ok! How many of these people shot do you personally know?

I'm fine. To my limited knowledge, the names of the victims has not been released so I can't tell you how many of them I know or don't know. My guess is I don't know any of them.

Now I ask you and anyone else reading this, if it was 7 white kids in an affluent suburb who were shot, do you think it would have been more of a national story?

Right. It's fricking out of control.
Meanwhile, please tell me about the murder rate in Detroit compared to Chicago.

Good question!
I assume MICH feels Lansing, Oxford, Kalamazoo, Farwell, Grand Rapids, Flint, Saginaw, Inkster, East Lansing, and Allendale, (all places where multiple were shot at the same time in 2021) are really Michigan.

Depends. Who lives there?

If folks, then = Michigan

A black person was the shooter so it is getting top billing on FoxNews as they look for the "masked madman".

It shouldn't.

But fox covers it more when it's a black or brown shooter....and cnn seems to cover it more when it's a white male shooter.

Agendas, audiences, and such.
