You are wrong. The media is just capitalism. They are out to make max $$ and fear and shock sells. The only conspiracy is to make more money.They live for stoking anger, FEAR and hatred towards each other.

Mostly stolen. You don’t see a lot of registered firearms being used by their rightful owners to commit crimes.And there are too darn many weapons available for the hands of those who shouldn't have them.
You're right!Then why am I wrong?
1. I agree we with you- we live in a capitalist economy (obviously).
2. If we agree that FEAR and another descriptor you use “SHOCK” sells, then where am I wrong and where do we disagree?
3. We both agreed the vehicle the media uses is FEAR. You simply added that they use it to make money. That is a means to an end.
We agree on the “means“, you added the “end”
You're right!
I lived in Indy for 45 years, it's a nice town, I think it's just the outside part of statistics that it happens to have had so many. However, people are, as someone said, looking to be infamous on the way out. If the media would stop hyping everything and just objectively report the news (remember when news was objective?), we'd have a whole lot less of all of the problems we have.Speaking about Indianapolis specifically, I have family there. For the most part, it's not a bad place to live. Just driving through and spending some time there, you wouldn't think it's the nation's 17th largest city. It's spread out over almost an entire county. As with most large cities, it has it's very wealthy and very poor neighborhoods. Very good, and very poor schools. Very safe and very unsafe areas. Just a typical large urban/suburban area.
Of course, that has nothing to do with what happened at Fedex. That was aparently a 19 year old former employee.
FBI says it interviewed FedEx mass shooter last year
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The former employee who shot and killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis was interviewed by FBI agents last year, after his mother called police to say that her son might commit “suicide by cop,” the bureau said Friday.apnews.com
“Never let a good crisis go to waste”The fault lies with the media for sure, however the reason you see an uptick now is the COVID lockdowns and the emotional toll it is taking on everyone. Prior to this year, mass shootings had been consistently going down, not up. You wouldn’t know that by watching the news however because mass killings = money in the bank for them. In fact the world gets objectively better every year: less war, less poverty, more education, more democracy, more opportunities, etc. That may change with covid but it’s too soon to tell. IMO what we’ll someday find is that the societal cost of locking down for COVID will far surpass the cost had we done nothing but I guess we’ll see.
Until you get to the category of mass shootings. An overwhelmingly large number of mass shooters obtained their firearms legally.Mostly stolen. You don’t see a lot of registered firearms being used by their rightful owners to commit crimes.
Most firearms crimes are committed by unlawfully possessed, unregistered, or stolen firearms.
Oh and by the way, If ANYONE (even those related to prominent government figures) fills out a firearms registration form illegally, they should be prosecuted.
