While PPH shooting was going on this was happening.
There Was Just A Giant Mass Shooting NOBODY’S Talking About… Here’s The Reason Why
While the media is obsessed with the shooting at a Colorado abortion clinic by a crazed WHITE man, another mass shooting has gone largely unreported. Even though this shooting involved young children being shot, the media has been silent and the reason for their silence is quite obvious.
 
The shooting occurred in Louisiana last week, when gunmen opened fire at a park with some 300 people in it resulting in 17 people being injured-including a 10-year-old child.
 
Mayor Mitch Landrieu called the shooting “domestic terrorism,” adding that one victim may never walk again, the New Orleans Advocate reports.
Police Chief Michael Harrison said the shooting appears to be gang-related.
 
Now, why haven’t we heard about this mass shooting? With 17 people injured including 11 under the age of 21 years old, you would think that Obama and the liberals would be all over this one. I mean, it’s the perfect scenario to ban guns and show how racist the white man is right? Let’s ban the Confederate flag over this! Well, here’s the reason for the silence.
 
A picture is worth 1000 words, folks.
Joseph “Moe” Allen, 32, will face 17 counts of attempted first-degree murder for his role in the Bunny Friend Park shooting Sunday (Orleans Parish Sheriff’s office)
 
Ahhhh. There’s the reason my friends. Our good friend in the picture ISN’T WHITE! HE’S BLACK!
 
Allen, according to Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office records, is a convicted felon and has been charged with home invasion, carjacking, illegal carrying of weapon and possession of cocaine and heroin. In 2002, he was arrested with Travis Scott, who recently pleaded guilty to a federal racketeering charge. Scott’s younger brothers, Akein “Keemy” Scott and Shawn “Shizzle” Scott, have pleaded guilty to numerous charges related to the 2013 Mother’s Day shooting in which they opened fire into a second line crowd, leaving 20 people injured, The Times-Picayune reports.
My good friend and esteemed colleague Sean Brown at Mad World News adds:
 
You see, Allen is a black thug with a criminal record a mile long, so his violent acts don’t fit into the current narrative that white conservative Christians are the largest threat to our nation. Plus, being a convicted felon, he shouldn’t have even had a gun to begin with. The law forbidding him from owning one didn’t work, and he was also a part of the catch and release program for violent thugs.
 
Now do you see why this one has been overlooked? Heavily reporting this story would mean having to admit that more gun control wouldn’t be effective, and it would also mean having to bring attention to the problem with systemic violence in the black community. Plus, reporting it would highlight the dangers of letting violent criminals back on the streets after shortening their prison terms, none of which the liberal media would willingly do, especially when there’s a juicy story about a white man a couple of states over.
 
At the heart of the Colorado Planned Parenthood shooting is a crazed white male, and every effort has been made by the media to convince people he’s a Christian conservative. They’re even going as far as to report hearsay from anonymous sources as fact and completely glossing over the fact that police have refused to release the shooter’s motives and the weapon he was using, which means anything reported thus far is purely speculation. However, that speculation is being fueled by the left-wing media machine to push for more gun control and paint the Christian right in a bad light, even though none of us would ever condone violence to make a point.
 
So here we have 2 stories- the Colorado shooting which is based on speculation but involves a white man and we have this story based on facts and involves black people. It actually comes as no big surprise that the media chose to irresponsibly report the Colorado story over this story. This story doesn’t fit Obama’s agenda.
 
This is the perfect example of the liberal bias in the media and frankly, I’m sick of liberals and their garbage.

It was in the news; I read about it, but it wasn't "in your face 24/7" news like the Colorado PPH shooting.

The NOLO shooting happened on the 22nd (Sunday). The guy shot up the Planned Parenthood on Friday. So, no, those two events were NOT happening at the same time.

And no one died at the NOLO shooting.

And there was an armed standoff after the PPH shootings, which guarantees live coverage as long as the standoff is ongoing.

Just because you say "double standard" doesn't make it so.

Ive seen plenty of news coverage on both stories. Maybe you need to re-evaluate where you get your news.

Does it matter if he was Christian? ProLife? White? Black? Not to me. He had a violent past, got a gun and shot up a Healthcare Clinic. THAT's what is horrible.
 
Did you know that OSF won't do sterilization? No tubal libations, no vasectomies. So what if a Catholic zealot (anti-birth control) shot up a urologist's office where sterilizations are performed? What would the headlines be?
 
I'll bet the angry white guys in ties heads would a$splode!

The Paris attack coverage tended to trump the New Orleans attack in tv news coverage.
 
Most of my news comes from the chicago tribune, New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Ozy. I get those four news sources in digital format via email or apps on my phone. I also glance at the PJS in the break room at work. I am not going to go back and find links from last week. I've got better things to do with my time. You are sitting in front of a computer and can google any topic. Feel free to do so.

@Rixblix : I knew we could agree on something.

Remember that next time someone asks for moderate Muslims to denounce Islamic terrorists.

15 people died in the U S over the weekend from the flooding and ice storms. Did your news sources cover that?

@joepyeweed But wait, did they die from the water or the ice? Did the ice actually KILL them or was someone out in the ice when they should not have been? Didn't those 17 people see the advisories about the bad weather? Or did they die because they had asthma and made a bad choice?
