A tale of two shootings. One shooting catches the biased mainstream media's attention and the other doesn't. Why? Well, for starters - one of the shootings doesn't suit the left's political agenda, while the other one does.
Why?
Well, for starters - one of the shootings doesn't suit the left's political agenda, while the other one does.
The high school shooting occurred in a deep red southern state - Alabama.
Strike one.
The high school shooting was carried out by a black teen who was targeting other black teens.
Strike two.
According to CNN, the shooting was likely sparked by a neighborhood beef: "Why are the young people bringing this type of violence to public events. They're bringing their beefs that they have with each other in their neighborhoods and they're putting other people in harm's way. This is unacceptable for people to not to be able to come out and enjoy an event," said one of the parents attending the game.
Strike three.
So, one mass shooting gets swept under the rug, while the other mass shooting is used and abused by grandstanding phony politicians in an effort to try and strip law-abiding citizens of their rights by pushing for more useless gun control.
Now, on the flip side, the recent Texas shooting in the twin cities of Odessa and Midland, fit the mainstream media profile of the typical mass shooter villain... a crazed white man, somewhere in his 30's, who is raging out of control for no apparent reason.
So, you can imagine how quickly desperate politicians like Beto O'Rourke will jump on the tragedy.
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke reiterated his push for gun control legislation Sunday morning - less than 24 hours after another mass shooting in his home state of Texas, which left at least seven dead.
"The rhetoric that we've used - the thoughts and prayers that you just referred to - it has done nothing to stop the epidemic of gun violence. To protect our kids, our families, our fellow Americans in public places. As a Walmart in El Paso Texas, where 22 were killed. In Sutherland Springs, in a church," O'Rourke told CNN's Dana Bash. "One or two a day all over this country, 100 killed daily in the United States of America. We're averaging about 300 mass shooting a year. No other country comes close."
"So yes, this is f-ed up," he added. "If we don't call it out for what it is, if we're not able to speak clearly. If we're not able to act decisively, then we will continue to have this kind of bloodshed in America, and I cannot accept that."
Saturday afternoon, a man opened fire during a traffic stop in Midland, Texas, and continued to shoot at residents and motorists as he continued driving down the highway. The shooter then drove into Odessa, firing in a populated shopping area. The attack occurred less than a month after a shooting in El Paso, in which a gunman killed 22 people and injured 24 others.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?
