The NYPD seems to be losing its mind over this too. You’re right, it’s not unusual. So not unusual that this wasn’t even the only murder in Manhattan that day.

You’re right, it’s not unusual. So not unusual that this wasn’t even the only murder in Manhattan that day. There was at least one other. Only one is getting a massive manhunt and media coverage for some reason.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Only one is getting a massive manhunt and media coverage for some reason Yes. It’s a lower Manhattan daytime shooting of a non-New Yorker. It’s where rich New Yorkers are. It’s where most New Yorkers are. It’s where most of New York City’s economy—including vastly most of its tourism—is. (And it will keep the media’s attention because the killer is photogenic.)
- wat10000 2y agoI understand the reasons why this murder gets so much time, attention, and effort, while the other Manhattan murder that day (that I know of) gets so little. My point is that there is a big fuss being made, it’s not just a narrow slice of social media. The suspect’s apprehension is the top story on every American news outlet I checked just now. And my secondary point is that the disparity is deeply fucked up.
