In frustration, I need to share a few of the headlines in the April 19th edition of the Minneapolis StarTribune. These headlines were all found on the inside pages of the newspaper.
April 19th, 2021, page 2, StarTribune
3 fatally shot at Wisconsin tavern; suspect in custody
Fugitive is sought after deaths of three people in Texas capital
There have been a 147 true mass shootings in the US in 2021. The above 2 headlines don't count towards that total. There were only 3 dead and the "mass shooting" requirement is 4.
And deeper within the inside pages ...
FedEx shooter bought rifles despite law
Burnsville police shoot armed carjacking suspect
Domestic dispute ends in man’s death
Guard tightens grip on metro
This comes to mind:
dys·to·pi·an
/disˈtōpēən/
adjective
- relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice."the dystopian future of a society bereft of reason"
Where is the outrage? Have we become numb to it all?
