I love this this sh*t -in respects of the underhanded manner the mainstream media imply one-thing and disguise
another. Any killing is tragic and I'm getting sick of having to do the PC rhetoric about such situations.
Why do we why have to first tell people something that at one time, was accepted as normal?
Of course it's terrible.
Anyway, here we have a report of a fatal shooting in Chicago that showed up in most of the mainstream outlets
and at first, I took it just as any vaguely-interested reader would, a fatal shooting.
Then -stopping to realise Chicago dealt with multiple homicides every week, I wondered why this particular
incident merited world-wide reporting. I know the MSM just copy reports from others in parrot-fashion and make
a single situation into something larger and seemingly a facet of society that indicates our concentration, but a
shooting in a city where shootings are sadly regular...? Why this one?

Quote:Officer and doctor killed in Chicago hospital shooting.SKY News:
A short while after the incident in Chicago, there was another shooting in Denver where one person was killed.
'A gunman has killed a police officer and two women in a shooting at a hospital in Chicago.
The gunman opened fire on his former partner, 38-year-old Tamara O'Neal, in the car park outside -she was an
ER doctor at the hospital.
When officers surrounded the man, named in media reports as 32-year-old Juan Lopez, he ran into the hospital
and opened fire again, where he shot and killed a pharmaceutical assistant as she stepped out of a lift.
Hospital officials say she was 25-year-old Dayna Less, who was in training to become a pharmacist.
Officer and doctor killed in Chicago hospital shooting.
The police officer, Samuel Jimenez, was also killed inside the hospital.
He was a 28-year-old father of three.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T Johnson said Mr Jimenez joined the force in February 2017 and had
recently completed probationary training and became an officer.
"What I would ask is that you keep all the victims of today's horrific incident in your thoughts and prayers,"
Superintendent Johnson said.
Lopez was killed inside, but it is unclear if he shot himself or was shot by police.
Ms O'Neal and the gunman had reportedly planned to get married on 27 October, but she called off the wedding in
September.
Officers responded after reports of shots fired inside and outside Mercy Hospital on the city's South Side.
One witness says he saw a gunman repeatedly shoot a woman outside the hospital before making his way inside
and opening fire.
James Gray told KABC-TV he was inside when the shooting unfolded. He described the scene as "mass chaos".
Mr Gray says the man was walking with a woman near a parking area when he turned and shot her in the chest
multiple times. He says the man then stood over the woman and continued shooting.
They were not having a heated discussion, he said. He added the man then entered the hospital, and "just started
shooting at random". The hospital was partially evacuated.
Footage from the scene showed one person being taken by emergency services into an ambulance.
Television footage showed several people, including hospital staff, walking through a car park with their arms up.
Witness Tracy Lyons, who was leaving the hospital after radiation treatment for cancer, said: "I was walking to the
car and I had to fall to my knees it started instantly, like a gun battle... Thank you Jesus. It was nobody but God
[that protected us]... And my heart goes out to the ones who lost their lives.
"I believe if I had turned that corner I would have got hit."
She said there had to be "over 30 shots" fired in total.
There was a second shooting incident shortly after in Denver, which left one person dead and three others with
non-life threatening injuries...'
