1 Killed, 2 Shot Outside Amazon Warehouse In Jacksonville (news4jax.com) 63
A 20-year-old man was killed and two others injured when two suspects opened fire outside an Amazon warehouse in Jacksonville. From a report: According to JSO, the man who was killed was targeted by the shooters who fled from the scene in a silver car. JSO is now searching for three suspects, including the driver of the getaway car. The 20-year-old victim was standing in line for job applications with about six others outside of the facility when the suspects began firing, JSO said. JSO believes the suspects knew the victim.
"We're trying to determine what the motive was why they were after this victim. We have about 10 eyewitnesses that were both inside and outside of the facility," said JSO Assistant Chief Brian Kee. "This does not appear to be a workplace violent incident that you would normally associate with workplace violence or mass shootings." A 29-year-old man was grazed in the arm and a 22-year-old man was grazed in the foot during the shooting. Both were treated and did not require hospitalization, JSO said. People claiming to be family members of Amazon employees at the facility said on social media that employees were placed on lockdown inside. A woman who said she witnessed the shooting and asked not to be identified said she was just feet away from the man who was killed. "As I started to go back inside the Amazon doors, I turned my head slightly to the right, I saw the gunman standing right there with a gun in his hand and next thing you know he just started shooting," she said. "He just let off about five or six rounds. I stood there in complete shock because I couldn't believe what was actually happening in front of my face."

This has nothing to do with technology. It isn't "news for nerds." It is hardly even news, when compared to, say, Chicago, instead.... Just this past weekend in Chicago, 63 people shot, 16 of them killed. Almost all black on black with illegally obtained/possessed/carried guns and with severe "gun control". And, of course, Democrat. And this is pretty much ALL THE TIME, week after week, year after year. But, no, it isn't news. Doesn't fit the narratives the media wants to push. Instead, we get to read about 1 killed outside an Amazon warehouse.

Yes, in some ways it is. The point being is that almost all the large, crime-ridden cities are run by the same party. Perhaps the party of large government, large social programs, large "gun control", reparations, quotas, government unions, identity politics, etc, makes the problems there worse.

There is no way they can win, so they don't bother running. Same where I live. No other party has a chance.

Nonsense. NYC was just as much a mess. A Republican finally came in and cleaned up corruption, massively reduced regulations, reformed social programs, strengthened

Cities have more D voters than the national average, so a list of largest cities will tend to contain lots of D-governed cities. Similarly, urbanized states will skew towards D.
So what's the cause of the riots? Lots of people packed in close which leads to the critical mass needed for a riot. Claiming that it's caused by D leadership is jumping to a conclusion.
