I am saddened and disgusted at the recent death of the black man in police custody in Minnesota recently. However, I am also very curious as to why the black on black violence does not generate the media attention that it should. How can 10 shooting deaths in one weekend not draw more attention? I don’t understand this. Have we just become numb to it? An explanation would be greatly appreciated.

On Tuesday another 20 were shot, including a 5 year old girl by a "stray bullet". So, add a day and you're up to 59 shootings.

People in Chicago are well aware of it and have tried without success to curb these deaths. People outside of Chicago have become numb to it.
Hope that helps.
This again . What happens in the most socioeconomically depressed areas in Chicago shouldn't affect you at all. Nothing that you nor anyone else does is going to change the culture that persists in these areas, so I'd advise against being emotionally vested in the inevitable sadness and horror.
What you're forgetting is 2,564 people died in Illinois of flu in 2018 and so shootings aren't worth worrying about. [obvious sarcasm but it's hard to tell with LRC]

Unless you're in the most socioeconomically depressed areas in Chicago but hey they're not actually Americans are they?
They'll mention it when they group it into "nation-wide gun violence"; they'll add these shootings to the total.
This is a tactic of the Left.
Aggregate the numbers and ignore the granularity - when they add the numbers at the end of the year, it's a "national problem" but when it come to the 30+ deaths in a specific section of Chicago among a specific group of people during a specific season, the details get swept under the rug.
There is a cultural problem in many Democrat-led cities that manifests in gun violence. Remove these top-20 violent zip codes and America has no gun violence problem.

Source?
Because black lives only matter when a white person takes it.
Democratic policy has herded Blacks Americans into the inner cities. They promise and give them just 'enough ' to get by, but enough to keep their vote. Liberal ideology has left them with broken homes. Poorly designed education. No way out. They turn to violence at times. I'm sure the liberals who care are on their way to Chicago right now in hope of helping them out.
Gotta get the guns off the streets and create opportunities so
less violence occurs.

How many times does this need to be discussed. First off Chicago isn't the most violent American city. Chicago has never led the nation in murders per capita...never.
Nobody is defending anybody randomly or purposely shooting people out in public. Nobody.
The shootings are investigated and the accused are given their day in court if enough evidence provides that a trial take place. Many are plea bargins. The guilty go to prison.
Why aren't you mentioning Youngstown, OH, Wilmington, Delaware, Stockton, California, St. Louis, Kansas City, Houston, Cleveland, Albuquerque and many others that have violence rates higher than Chicago?
No one is numb to it, especially if it happens in your neighborhood. Why doesn't white on white violence generate national attention? It is the same rate as black on black violence.
However 99% of the time when a person of color is killed by police while unarmed the killer never serves jail time....even when the murder is on video.
Understand?

Another ignorant dumb racist person lying about black people and the Democrat party.

Stats please.
Cops need to be held to a higher standard or our system of justice doesn't work. When cops murder someone while doing their job, that's big news. You don't understand that? or you don't want to and you're looking for ways to confirm your tendency towards racism?

The level of ignorance is astounding!
Newsflash.....the United States averages about 33,000 deaths by firearms annually. Guess how many are homicides and how many are suicides? 65% of firearm deaths are suicides and do you know who is killing themselves with firearms the most? Newsflash.....white males! 70% of suicides by firearms are white males
Why aren't we talking about that? Why are white guys killing themselves? Why are these details being swept under the rug? Sounds like a cultural problem in many Republican led cities and states that manifests in gun violence. Remove these top-20 violent zip codes with white guys killing themselves and America has no gun violence problem. Also don't forget 90% of mass shooters are white males as well.
A little more information to enlighten you and bring you out of ignorance. Guess which states have the highest firearm death rates? Newsflash again.....its poor republican states....Alabama, Alaska, Louisana, Montana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri.
States with the lowest firearm death rates........Democrat states, which not by accident are also most of the wealthiest states....New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and Hawaii.

Well, the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics knows it and documented it. As an aside, why don’t people ever call white mass murders, white school shootings, and white serial killings “white-on-white” crime?” Hmm ...
In America 82% of whites are killed by another white person. 88% of blacks are killed by another black person. Not too much diffrecene there.

What does this comment even mean? Every corner of this earth is inhabited by a measure of terrible people. Some more than others. No matter the local, you are going to encounter a population with a gradient of good and bad people. Deal with it. There will ALWAYS be bad people committing offences to innocent people.
Also, if you don't live here, then stfu. We have enough problems without your judgy azz telling us how to behave.

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
