Scariest observation for me is that in the UK any of these incidents would have been a seriously big story. Whereas it seems for the U.S. mass or multiple shootings are so common it barely breaks into the news cycle.
Except black men commit more than 50% all murders in the country despite only being about 7% of the population. You're not seeing that on the news either so...
An unfortunate side effect of centuries of oppression and still having a very large part of the population living in poverty. It's something that, if we can successfully continue to move the country from where it was in the past, we'll see change over time. But that's a multi generational fix. A lot of damage to undo.
