Says the guy that's ranting about London lives not mattering, despite absolutely nobody suggesting that. The US murder rate is substantially higher than comparable countries. It's really not in question. It should be somewhere between 1-2 per 100k, while it's actually closer to 5. Part of it's cultural, in my opinion, but a large part of it is the availability of guns and the way that they're treated.
Now we are getting there, rewind to my original point, where i stated political agendas within the media. Is this really about the kids where journalism is concerned?
So it was the media to blame for talking up the prospect of nuclear war between the US and NK then? Really?
London lives mattering was said tongue in cheek, so take a stride out of your angry goose step. Why are you so bothered about American lives, seems like the media have achieved their desired affect in making you angry
So when there’s a mass shooting the media shouldn’t discuss US gun laws in the aftermath because Trump is an advocate and in the pocket of the NRA and it would therefore make the reporting political? Hahaha I see.
Ah, the "Why are you so angry?" internet argument response to obviously non-angry posts. As old as the hills. Very transparent, brb.
Look Tobes, the Royal Wedding is on today, followed by the Cup Final, the weather is gorgeous, sorry if i'm not feeling everyone else's pain today about American gun laws. Maybe you could set up a petition and march on Downing Street or the American Embassy...go for it buddy, you know you want to
Repeating the angry thing after being called on it? It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for you.
I’m fine thanks mate, the Sherman’s obsession with shooters predates Trump, As does their hypocrisy and complete self delusion about the direct effect their lax gun laws have on errrrmmmm shootings. I found your angle that the reporting over here was somehow a veiled pop at poor old Donald laughable though.
From London we turn to Merseyside, remembering unlike America we don't even have guns, they are not legal... Seven of the past eight Merseyside shootings have left victims needing hospital treatment in one of the bloodiest run of attacks in the region in recent years. In the past seven weeks gun blasts from Litherland to Haydock have led to armed officers being deployed and streets being cordoned off. The series of incidents represents one of the most ruthless sprees of the past few years - and appear to have seen “warning” shots fired at homes and vehicles replaced by more brutal incidents. Shootings on Merseyside have risen over the past two consecutive years, with a toxic cocktail of factors thought to have been responsible. The ECHO is aware of 15 gun attacks in the region in 2018 so far. There had been 18 by this stage in 2016 and 16 in 2017. What has stood out about recent incidents is the number that have left people injured.
A handful of gangsters shooting each other with illegal weapons...and the relevance to a mass shooting by a teenager in a US school is what like?
Considering what else is going on today I'm not sure why you chose a school shooting to talk about overblown media coverage anyway
The point as i clearly stated 'unlike America we don't even have guns, they are not legal' - yet gun crime still happens.
That's a fair comment, why the fook we want Manchester/Chelsea coverage on TV is unbelievable, someone give me a gun.
Seems like the Royal Wedding coverage has tipped everyone over the edge today and they feel the need to be offended by the devils advocate.
We don't have guns in Britain, the royal wedding has lots to answer for... please log in to view this image
