Why Did Media Overlook Sept. Shooting in Plano, Texas When Estranged Husband Killed Wife & 7 Others?

[@yvesmartin4788]

When its a white male perpetuating murder and mass massacre in America, its always a conspiracy theory; a set up or a mad man going rouge. From The Newton schools massacres, The Aurora theatre shootings, to the Las Vegas shooter..etc. The white male never had to be held responsible for his action and community actions. But, every black man and women have to answer to Chicago gang violence and the "13% of the population speech". Their deflection and hypocrisy is sickening and typical.

Smooth kriminal Exactly!!! 45 has militarized police depts to fight “inner city crime” but that $ should funnel into prepping these depts to fight white male rage!

[@nancymesek]

I remember seeing it being covered for a couple days, then the story was gone, just like all the others until the next one, but I watch independent media.

[@Ang3l-of-M3rcy]

Since this so call president took office, more mass shooting is on the rise in this country, something is very odd and this fool of a president overturn a restriction that was implemented by the former president Obama to prevent people like the lunatic that just murdered 25+people in Texas from getting fire arms.

"It's still too early to talk about gun control." That's what they'll say.

[@MilesBellas]

I heard about that..... but unless it's over 10 it's seen as normal. Mass shootings are everday like Ed said. A War Against Bullying is needed too. Retribution for perceived past injustices are often factors in school and work place shootings. This is the problem with over emphasis on interpersonal competition over cooperation.

Honestly I live in Plano and I didn't know about this story. Perhaps the story didn't make national attention because it's not a national story. When we consider how violent, drug addicted, and gun crazy oir society is, we'd never talk about anything else if we covered all of these massacres.

Mr.Scruggs made some very important statements Re domestic violence/spousal abuse/ neglect within the United States.As a Clinical Social Worker,I have seen this violent behavior numerous times within a family.I did a long,documented research paper entitled" Spousal Abuse in the rural community" three decades ago.Unfortunately,this continuing violent interaction between people in intimate relationships,has continued to escalate" tenfold." Americans,really NEED to view this ongoing human condition as a subject that they Can become Much More informed and aware of in their lives.This IS A VERY,VERY,VERY SERIOUS,IMPLODING EMOTIONAL/ MENTAL HEALTH SITUATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. VIOLENCE IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO PROBLEMATIC SITUATIONS. PEOPLE CAN UNLEARN,"learned negative ways of handling difficult problems,situations in life,if provided with the tools of education,information,resources needed for such positive,healthy,productive lives." This Can Be Achieved,People,in America,in the United States of America." United We Stand,Divided,We Fall." I think We Can, ALL OF US STAND.THANK YOU.NANCY. SANDERS,CCSW

Ressources = money! While most other countries actively are trying to deal with such issues - it seems like the US don't have the same willingness!

ONCE UPON A TIME THIS WAS A GOOD CHANNEL.......ONCE UPON A TIME

[@Beretta249]

For the record Charles Whitman also had a massive tumor compressing his amygdala putting him in nearly constant state of elevated paranoia and anger. That he had both firearms and the training to maximize his rampage matters, but the beginning of his spousal abuse and violent rages begins with that tumor, not with a previous pattern of harming his family.

[@enriquepalacios7910]

Honestly didn't know this

[@garrettgmc96]

The first mass shooting in Modern history was in 1949, dubbed the "Walk Of Death" committed by Howard Unruh who killed 13 people during a 12 minute walk through Camden, New Jersey.

[@andreawisner7358]

It's a local news item. Not every violent act in the U.S. can run on the national news. The real question is why the more recent one was covered, and the answer is that terrorism was suspected. Also, the large number of people.

[@MrDXRamirez]

Patriarchy in the family is expressed in many different forms of social relations that call into question the viability of social institutions of the community and these relations are given a legal name for their countenance in the community and are socially transmitted from the past. They do not disappear on their own but require a complete break from the existing social order by masses of people no longer willing to play the role of victim and being blamed for the violence.

[@pcity76]

The problem with domestic violence cases is that they give those charges mainly to minorities to take their gun rights away. How some criminals get away with no record from their domestic cases confuses me.

[@johnlamarca9439]

The news industry always picks and chooses what they tell us and what they don't.

[@andreawisner7358]

No more wars. How about peace against domestic violence? We know that these "wars against" always turn out badly.

[@JohnJones-qk7dv]

Mass killings can occur anywhere at this point in the USA since we have 5% of world's population with 40% of the world's guns.

[@Henbot]

should do laws that reduce firearms for domestic abusers but nope they are protected too. USA is just ridiculous

[@cheapskate101]

if the control of guns is not possible then why not control the sale of bullets as you need both for a firearm to work . Say for domestic use you could legally own six bullets , if you wanted to go fire of some rounds or whatever then you would have to do that thru a properly registered gunclub with strict controls over the ammunition . Special licensing for hunting would need to be enforced whereas unused ammunition would have to be handed back after a person had finished a days hunt.

[@lemostjoyousrenegade]

You're right, Amy. 🤔💭What?

[@Vbluevital]

They did cover it! Pretty much everyone. Take a look.

[@Vbluevital]

That is not true. I saw coverage and it certainly was covered in ms news print.

[@5pctLowBattery]

I remember reading about this. Wondered why it didn’t get more coverage. Samantha Bee just did a segment last week on domestic violence and guns. Close the boyfriend loophole: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3PYfJWbaZWoja8

sad day for our country... may the Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on their souls

A complete Rapture ! This is one way to get to heaven without waiting for jesus.

[@MrArtVein]
