Last week, three children under the age of 6 were shot in Milwaukee over three days. Milwaukee police said Wednesday so far in 2023, 103 people under the age of 18 have been shot.

I know people don't like hearing about all the shootings in this city. There shouldn't BE this many shootings, especially of 9 year old children.

Nobody's "turning a blind eye" just because someone doesn't want to see every single shooting article posted here; we all know Milwaukee has a lot of shootings. You're just overrepresenting the problem in the community by flooding it with these crap articles that range from passively blaming the victims to actively embarrassing them and their families, and feeding the journalistic demand that keeps making them. They don't help inform anyone, they just monetize the problem itself.

There's nothing about monetizing the problem. It's about bringing the problem into the open so people can see that it's NOT just a "shooting here and there". This is literally happening EVERY WEEK.

You shouldn't be offended that there's so many articles about shootings, you should be offended by the fact that there's so many shootings in Milwaukee.
