So whatcha got here? A bunch of faces on a wall. No link to crimes. Just a general explanation that they shot some people. This could be a wall of Jay walkers for all we know.

But lets say they are mass shooters. They didnt get the coverage they deserved, is that your point? All this does is re affirm that there needs to be gun reform - at least that is how the Dems will politicize it. All you have done is make that point more clear.

And your Whataboutism still does NOT clear Trump and FOX news for inciting this latest rash of violence.

While we are talking about FOX - keep in mind they decided not to cover those shootings either, apparently. And FOX never lets a reason to spread hate a vitriol slip by so why do you tell us why these people weren't covered more Broadly?

Whataboutism

Why would anyone use this word? It's stating your willing ignorance of a topic because you wish to ignore anything similar.

Whataboutism: also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument.
