Why do people concentrate on "Mass Shootings" so much?

I'm fairly certain that more than 50 people have been shot and killed in Chicago gang violence since the start of the year.

Why do people care so much about "mass shootings" when they are such a small part of overall gun crime?

Mass shooting deaths are literally statistical noise when you consider all shootings in this country.
But it's an easier story to sell and an easier story to talk about, so that's what they sell and that's what we talk about

The senselessness of it usually. People understand why two criminal gorillas in a dispute over money or muh dick or whatever shoot each other and nobody innocent usually gets hurt.

News are basically anecdotes. They put freak accidents on the frontpage or something that fits someone's narrative.

The media cares about it more, because lets face it, nobody who lives outside of Chicago (for example) will want to read about gun crime rates there, but when a big event like this happens it's easier for the media to hype it up, create shitstorms etc.

It's why you never see things like: BREAKING NEWS, LITERAL WHO KILLED BY OTHER LITERAL WHO IN CHICAGO OVER BASICALLY NOTHING, but instead: BREAKING NEWS, 50 DEAD AT NIGHTCLUB. It's got more shock value and people are forced to pay attention to it.

Why do people care so much about gun deaths, when I'm fairly certain more people have died in traffic accidents or various forms of cancer?

It's used to further the various agendas of the political and media elite. It's fairly obvious. Liberals having a hot opinion on the subject is part of the way that the media plays them on this issue.

Grabs more attention because its doesnt happen as often. The news is in the business of grabbing your eye balls and selling them to add companies.

It's concentrated propaganda. Imagine how much work it would take to report on 50 individual deaths, oy!
>>

People care because liberals and the news survive by riding waves. For years people have thought we are on a gun control wave. At think at this point the news and politicians have no internal desires of their own they just try to gage which way the wind is blowing.

Its fucked though because shooting deaths are down not up even mass shootings every school shootings.

>Chicago gang violence
That's just nigger on nigger combat. Law of the jungle, etc. etc.
What pisses people off is a sandnigger declaring war on the Western Way of Life, vowing eternal service to ISIS etc.

Those muzzies have been uppity for too long now, they need to be put down hard, preferably 2 meters under.

The plebs are glued to their televisions when a mass shooting happens. It's unusual and has a much higher kill count. Gang violence and ordinary homicides are background noise at this point, they've become commonplace.
