devours into?
It's hard for any news to break through during an election year pandemic. Honestly, I'm not even sure if the Arbery murder, Amy Cooper call, and George Floyd move the needle without each other. The 100,000 COVID death mark and the NYT front page was basically permission for media to start covering other stories. And it's sad but obvious to say mass shootings are pretty common nowadays no matter where they happen.
There are already plenty of existing movements addressing gun violence, crime in black neighborhoods, gangs, etc.
Officers said they responded to a 911 call near University Avenue and I-75/I-85 around 9:50 p.m. The location of the shooting was in a parking lot across the street from the now burned-out Wendy’s, which has been occupied by demonstrators since Brooks’ death at the hands of an Atlanta police officer.
Police said Turner was riding in a car with her mother and her mother’s friend when they exited the interstate at University Avenue. The driver tried to turn into the parking lot at 1238 Pryor Road when he was confronted by an “group of armed individuals” who had blocked the entrance.
“At some point, someone in that group opened fire on the vehicle, striking it multiple times and striking the child who was inside. The driver then drove to Atlanta Medical Center for help,” police said in a statement.
Police said the 911 caller told them they were heading to Atlanta Medical Center with the victim. The child died at the hospital.
On Sunday night, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms blasted protesters who had turned violent.
“You cant blame this on a police officer. You can’t say this about criminal justice reform,” Bottoms said. “This is about some people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an 8-year-old baby in the car for what?!?
Secoriya Williamson, Secoriea’s father, also spoke out.
“They say black lives matter,” Williamson said. “You killed your own this time. You killed a child. She didn’t do nothing to nobody.”
I'm sure the lack of MSM reporting on the below will be chalked up to "hard for any news to break through during an election year pandemic."
But what existing movement addresses an 8 year old shot and killed by protesters?

Also, the story is on the front page of CNN.com right now. So I guess the MSM conspiracy to cover it up hasn't kicked in yet.
Yea, but covered as gun violence over the weekend, just behind an article calling the term "black-list" and the "Masters Golf Tournament" problematic.

it's almost as if he's not asking these questions in good faith.
