Sometimes it goes 2 or 3 months without a shooting done by a white male.
The majority of the shooters are under the legal age to buy or own a handgun. Many of those are convicted felons already. There are multiple laws against guns getting in the wrong hands, the laws are redundant and overlapping, yet they have absolutely NO effect on these criminals. There might as well be ZERO gun laws for all the good (or not) that they do.
People and agencies can claim this kind of reporting is racist, but you know, how do you come up with a different answer for 2 + 2 = 4? People of color who are pointing the fingers and claiming racist just won't admit the truth. The truth is, the numbers don't lie. The reporting isn't biased, these cities don't have a gun problem like they say they do, they have a race problem. A "thug" culture problem.
A society that will march and proudly carry BLM banners and other rhetorical slogans, yet steadfastly turn a blind eye to the root cause of the shootings and they will NOT admit what that root cause really is, much less address it, that society seems to be okay with that 900lb gorilla over in the corner with the menacing eyes.
