A Culture Of Violence

The Shootings Never Stopped

In between…

the shooting spree of the spas in Georgia and the shooting in Boulder, Colorado, there were seven (7) other mass shootings in the U.S. Yet, those shootings were not the kind the international media outlets love to cover wire to wire.

Those shootings, which resulted in six (6) dead, and thirty one (31) injured, were relegated to the local news outlets. They were not the random kind with a racist, sexist, or deranged agenda, or the actions of a person who is mysterious, a lone wolf, or gunmen doing something like in Newtown, CT.

But gun violence didn’t just start back up with these recent high profile shootings. Gun violence was still happening in America. Before the killings in Georgia at the spas which most contend were racial motivated, here is a sampling of shootings that occurred:

February 3, 2021 — Fort Carson, Colorado (Colorado Springs) — Three people shot and killed at an apartment complex.

February 5, 2021 — Mohnton, Pennsylvania — Four people shot, one killed, at a hookah lounge

February 5, 2021 — Bolivar, Mississippi — Three people killed at a club

March 6, 2021 — Yuba City, California — Two people shot and killed at a gathering.
