@joepyeweed But we're the 5 traffic deaths involved in the SAME car accident or 5 separate accidents. I'm not so sure we can blame those deaths on the ice, those drivers are probably irresponsible ice drivers.

The other double-standard currently in the news is the killing of a gang-banger's 9-year-old son in Chicago recently. He was lured into an alley and shot execution style by rival gang bangers. There is evidence he begged for his life.
 
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Where is the Black Lives Matter crew? Why aren't Jesse Jackson and the other idiot out there marching the streets for THIS little kid? Why doesn't HIS life matter? Or all the other gang banger shootings going on all around the country?
 
Oh wait, the news media would rather cover all the other white shooter stories than this.
 
It's outrageous. I sincerely hope there is justice for this child.

@froggy Two men are in custody for the child's murder. I've also seen several memorials and marches in Chicago over the last month... What kind of outrage were you looking for?

@Rixblix :
 
How about the same kind as the media coverage of PHH?

I don't see how the two events are similar or warrant the same attention.

two events are similar

@Rixblix :
 
People being killed or dying Attention who's choosing what's right or not. Kind of spoon feeing is it not.

@Rixblix The only marches I read about happening in Chicago are related to the cop killing that kid. Jesse Jackson and the media are all over that but I don't see the same kind of outrage towards what happened to this child. I don't understand why Jesse Jackson and that other idiot-whose-name-I-can-never-remember (who only seek out media attention when it benefits them although they've done NOTHING to help their race advance in any way) aren't speaking up or marching about the black on black violence that is more prevalent than mass shootings. Yes, black lives DO matter but that movement and the media attention shouldn't be confined to white cop against black person violence. It should start in their own neighborhoods.

Just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean it isn't happening.
