These gang shootings (or feuds I guess) are a lot more common in the S Seattle area and have had far more innocent victims… But you don’t hear about those.
Gang violence is probably the biggest part of violent crime in the US, especially for gun violence. But no one ever wants to talk about that, because that would mean addressing socioeconomic disparity.
The white nationalists are all over it, though.
And some of those gang events are situations brought on by feds and CIs purposely trying to strike tension. They know it could happen and probably will happen but people are disposable so it doesn’t matter.
America creates the terrorist they claim to hate.
