this post can illustrate for the recalcitrant how the 'free press' focuses and doesn't when presenting 'information' on 'shootings';

Denver, CO — Monday morning, the internet and televisions were ablaze with news of the mass shooting in Greenwood, Indiana. Another young coward emerged from a bathroom inside the Greenwood Park Mall and began killing innocent people. The coward killed three people and injured several others before 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken — a hero who disobeyed a gun free zone — pulled out his pistol and ended the coward’s rampage.

“Many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen,” Greenwood police Chief James Ison said at a news conference.

Normally, when good Samaritans stop mass shooters, we don’t hear about them in the media. A good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun destroys the narrative that only police should have guns so the establishment media chooses to ignore them.

Perhaps because the shooter killed three people and injured several others, this time the media was willing to report it. Whatever the reason, Dicken’s actions that day have made it difficult for the anti-gun crowd to exploit this shooting to push their agenda of ensuring only cops and criminals have guns.

But it didn’t last long. Because the Greenwood shooting was difficult for the media to exploit, it has already fallen out of the news cycle.

There was another mass shooting, however, that the media did choose to ignore which unfolded on the same day as the Greenwood shooting. In Lower Downtown Denver five innocent people were shot as gunmen opened fire into a crowd of people early Sunday morning.

The shooters’ faces weren’t plastered all over the television and internet however because the bullets that struck three women and two men — were taxpayer funded. Fortunately, all five of the victims are expected to survive, but this instance still qualifies as a mass shooting, according to the official definition. .........more..........
