1. May 2021, 9 people shot in Washington Park. It's a mass shooting.
But nobody briefed the president, it didn't make the Today Show & the cable news shows. Probably not even TGIF the following Friday.
I wonder what's different between people living there & those visiting RI for Brown?

It has now been more than 100 hours since a shooter opened fire in a classroom at Brown University, killing two students and injuring nine others. As of this morning, law enforcement hasn’t identified any person-of-interest, recovered a firearm, or offered a motive in the case.
As the manhunt continues, law enforcement said Wednesday they were trying to speak with a different person who they believe was in proximity to the person-of-interest prior to the shooting. They also released a new map that zones in on a residential area near the campus where they believe the person-of-interest may have walked both before and after the shooting.
There is expected to be another press briefing with Mayor Brett Smiley and law enforcement at some point today, and we’ll have full coverage at Globe.com/RI.
For now, lots of readers have also been asking for ways they can help support victims, students at Brown, and anyone assisting with the investigation.
Obviously, if you have any information about the case or video footage might help law enforcement, you’re being asked to use the city’s official tip line at 401-272-3121 or fbi.gov/brownuniversityshooting.
In terms of financial support, there is a Brown University Student Emergency Support Fund. GoFundMe also has a verified list of support pages related to the shooting.
EveryTown for Gun Safety has also compiled a list of trauma-informed resources in Providence.
Governor Dan McKee has focused a lot of efforts on mental health during this crisis, and here’s a list of certified community behavioral health clinics in Rhode Island.
Finally, be kind to people. As my colleagues Anjali Huynh and Shannon Larson write, rumors, misinformation, and widespread fear are filling in gaps where we lack information about the shooter. And it’s dangerous.

Stop linking affirmative action to discrimination. You are looking for different words to describe white men getting preferential treatment. Try racism or sexism. The things affirmative action rectifies.
