As we’ve reported, the death of nine thug bikers in Waco, Texas on Sunday has unleashed a flood of commentary from the left decrying the MSM’s failure to report on “white-on-white” crimes with the same zeal as they do “black-on-black” incidents like last month’s riots in Baltimore.
OK then. Let’s take a look at what’s happening in Baltimore right now, shall we?
Because there are literally so many shootings that it’s hard to keep track of the actual numbers getting reported by different Baltimore Sun reporters on Twitter. Shootings that you are not seeing reported in the national media:
Nine people shot in Baltimore Tuesday by my count. At least 5 shot (1 dead) early Weds. Shootings up more than 60% http://t.co/GMCRNcc2Vm

Baltimore has seen 34 murders in 30 days in a violent surge that concerns many. http://t.co/GMCRNbUrwM #FreddieGray

And remember how everyone celebrated an alleged ceasefire among Baltimore’s street gangs during the Freddie Gray protests?

Yeah, about that. Why isn’t that “ceasefire” still in place?
WTH? What happened to "Ceasefire"? @MayorSRB @BaltimorePolice @FOP3 https://t.co/QVswqorhV0

And where are the reporters and elected officials?
@justin_fenton Where's the Mayor? Where's the city council? Where's Jamal Bryant? Where's the Commissioner? Where's @CNN now?

@justin_fenton @BaltimorePolice @baltimoresun And @prezjackyoung – where are those wanna-end-the-violence SDGMs now?
— Dan Rodricks, Baltimore Sun, News Guild (@DanRodricks) May 20, 2015
@justingeorge Is this an organized thing? Where's BPD intell? USAttorney and Feds? @LarryHogan and Md State Police?
— Dan Rodricks, Baltimore Sun, News Guild (@DanRodricks) May 20, 2015
Answer: They’re too busy reporting about outlaw bikers shooting at each other at a brestaurant in Waco, Texas to pay attention to Baltimore.
