    Mass Shooting in Chicago. Media is silent.

    So there was a mass shooting in Chicago last month that killed 4 one of whom was a woman that was believed to be pregnant and there were no threads on here, no media uprising, no calls for gun control, no screams for mental assessments for guns...nothing... I looked around and only found it on local Chicago news outlets.

    Now the FBI defines a mass shooting as:

    Mass murder is the act of murdering a number of people, typically simultaneously or over a short period of time and in close geographic proximity.[1][2] The FBI defines mass murder as murdering four or more persons during an event with no "cooling-off period" between the murders. The term can be used to cover many types of killings, including spree killing, family murder/suicides and multiple deaths as an indirect result of an action (e.g. arson).

    So why the silence on this from the mainstream? Is it not a mass murder because it happened in Chicago? Because the shooters are thought to be in gangs? Because Chicago gun laws continue to fail? Because there are no conservatives to blame? What gives?
