San Francisco assistant police chief Toney Chaplin said a news conference that two others were wounded in the shooting that prompted a massive police response in downtown San Francisco.

1. well just another day in America.

3. Well if the crime was not political and the victims were famous,

this horrendous act would have had a little more attention. There has to be some lesson learned about how two violent acts, committed on the same day were reported. One incident had several fatalities and many injured while the other, thankfully, has many people hospitalized but not fatalities. Guess which one got wall to wall coverage all day. Yes, it was the (probably) paid up members of the NRA and no fatalities.
