How is this a big deal?
A couple days ago at UCA there was an argument over which 2 students were shot and killed. It was not a crazy school shooting where a psycho runs in offing random people. It’s been all over the news and everyone at work and school (different school) is talking about it. People from uca that I know are all freaked out and there’s candlelight vigils and the whole 9 yards. About twice a week someone is shot over a similar argument (mostly drugs) in my neighborhood and it doesn’t even get a mention whatsoever in the news. What makes this shooting so special? Just cause it happened near a school? There’s an elementry school a few blocks from my house and I hear gunshots all the time. Are college age drug addicts and dealers somehow more important than the ones they find dead here weekly?
