June 18, 2018The mainstream media LOVES covering mass shootings.
And why not? It gives them the perfect platform to grandstand on.
Guns are evil, the NRA is evil, guns MUST BE BANNED.
So… what happens when a mass shooting proves every one of their talking points is bullcrap?
Easy. They just don’t cover it.
The mainstream media appears to be strangely mum after a mass shooting in New Jersey that left 22 people injured and one dead.
Could it be the facts surrounding the shooting at a Trenton arts festival did not line up with the liberal narrative about gun violence?
WHAAAA? They would NEVER.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy called for more gun control less than 24 hours after the incident in which 17 of the 22 injured suffered from gunshot wounds.
Police say this morning’s shooting incident that left 22 people hurt at an arts festival in Trenton, NJ was sparked by a gang dispute. A suspect killed by police had just been released from prison. 13 year old critically hurt is now stable

The kicker?
More gun control would have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in this case.
What the Democratic governor conveniently ignored were the other glaring facts in the story: the suspect’s gang membership and his early release from prison.
Interesting, huh
As reported by NBC Philadelphia:
A New Jersey arts and music festival turned deadly early Sunday morning when a barrage of bullets flew into a large crowd, sending attendees stampeding and leaving 22 people, including a 13-year-old boy, injured and one suspect dead, authorities said.
The chaos broke out at the Arts All Night festival in Trenton around 2:45 a.m. Sunday, according to investigators.
Officials said several fights sparked by disputes between neighborhood gangs broke out prior to the shooting. They also said officers warned that the event needed to be shut down before the shooting took place.
LOVELY.
What we need is GANG CONTROL, Governor.
A second suspect, identified as 23-year-old Amir Armstrong, remained in the hospital in stable condition and was facing a weapons charge, while a third suspect was in critical condition, Fox News reported.
“Wells was killed during the shooting…had just been released from prison …been on parole since February for homicide…Armstrong was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun…”
Parole.
For homicide. pic.twitter.com/7UMfrvDWgD— Maggie Leber (@MaggieL) June 17, 2018
“It’s yet another reminder of the senseless gun violence, even having signed six stringent gun laws last week,” Murphy said at a news conference Sunday following a service at Trenton’s Galilee Baptist Church.
We awoke to news of a mass shooting right here in Trenton.
Art All Night is a time when we all come together. We cannot let gun violence tear us apart.
These are not inappropriate times to talk about gun policy. These are the most important times to talk about gun policy. pic.twitter.com/EJtM7iLOPN

But yet again, the Governor misses a few MAJOR points.
According to Fox News:
But it turns out that Wells had been released from prison in February, despite receiving an 18-year state prison sentence in 2004 on an aggravated manslaughter conviction in the shooting death of a 22-year-old man, NJ.com reported.
And in 2010, while still in prison, Wells was sentenced to six additional years after pleading guilty to a second-degree racketeering charge. He reportedly helped a gang leader run the group from inside prison.
So despite two lengthy sentences that should have left Wells serving time behind bars into the 2020s, he was back on the streets and able to commit Sunday’s crime.
Interesting.
But like… GUNS. Am I right?
Why isn’t a mass shooting with 20 shot the night before Father’s Day trending nationally? An AR-15 wasn’t used, it was in a state with some of the strictest gun laws and it was likely caused by a gang beef. All narrative killers so they won’t run with it. https://t.co/t12T75EGob

Just another gang gun fight. Illegal guns obtained illegally by those who ignored gun laws. Prohibition on guns works as well as prohibition on alcohol.

Best part is, the Dem Gov, is restricting guns even more, and guess what??? He’s raising taxes!!! Go figure. Have fun NJ. @BillSpadea
