The shooting that left 2 dead victims in SF should be a bigger deal than a shooting where no one died except the shooter.

It really shouldn't. Actively targeting government officials is a much bigger story than workplace violence.

dunno but if the media is going to start reporting on every single instance of someone being shot/shot at today, across the country, i'm ok with that

also nothing else is going to get a second of airtime

They have never really done that with profile shootings in the past. With the way it's being put forward it looks like it's all political and were just a breath away from CW2.

Why? Lone people have been targeting politicians in this country for centuries.

Workplace violence is far more likely to impact the lives of everyday Americans. And the people it impacts will be far worse off. Victims and their families of this shooting in DC will be taken care of for life. I doubt you can say the same about the victims of the shooting in SF or their families.

American national policy makers experiencing the horror of a mass shooting is unprecedented. It will directly affect how they use their platform and how they legislate or vote.

That's all very true. But one of these two situations makes for more dramatic TV.

Oh I certainly recognize reality. That's why I used should.

The idea that we brush off workplace shootings that end in multiple deaths because it is normalized is a massive red flag.

White settler colonial culture also romanticizes the imagery of armed to the teeth whites fending off dusky hordes from their property.

There's a reason why gun ownership and "advocacy" is almost an entirely whites only phenomenon.

And the twisted Irony is that the first major pushes for gun control came from white republicans who feared black gun ownership. (Reagan and the Mulford Act)

Fox is very openly blaming "the left" for inspiring this, and talking about the need to come together as a country while continuing to otherize "the left" as refusing to do that. This is the result.
