YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

Go take a political litmus test of every gang member in the US and see how many are conservatives.

Active shooters make a drop in the pale comparatively, they're just the ones the media focuses on because it's the narrative they prefer.

Ah yes, the famously politically active gang members.

They shoot each other in the name of societal wealth distribution, everyone knows that

Politically Active? Since when was that the metric? We are just talking about political alignment.

And why do you think they're Dem?

They likely don't care about politics

I'm pretty sure most cops lean right soooo

You really don't see why the media would focus on a random mass killing instead of 2 scumbags shooting at each other over drugs? Weird.

2? More like thousands. If guns are the problem, then guns are the problem. We don't need to focus on specific gun crime when those crimes are once again a drop in the bucket.

That's why it's weird.

Guns are indeed the problem. As every other developed nation shows.

Why people still claim the US is developed beats me, they belong in the same line as Brazil and Mexico (no offence Brazilians and Mexicans)
