13322389, Share a News Story that seems to just have freaking disappeared.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Mar-26-19 09:42 AM
Man this quick news story cycle is killing my soul with the stories that come out, folks get riled up, and then completely disappear.

I understand investigation and trials take time, but really no peep in a minute about:

Justin Fairfax accusations?

The murder of Botham Shem Jean in his own home?

Or remember the Somali cop shooting that Australian Woman (Justine Damond) in MN?


Are these stories just coming to their natural resolution or does the media and the audience just lose interest?

Posted by Marauder21, Tue Mar-26-19 09:55 AM
a lot.

I think all they had to do was pay a fine and that was that, but I feel like a giant American retailer buying stolen artifacts from a terrorist group would've been a bigger deal in the 90's.

>Justin Fairfax accusations?
slightly foggy on this one cuz so many harrassment stories in the news, but i think 1 of the 2 women seemed a little less than credible... and digging around that story stirs back up the dirt around the governor and the 3rd in line as well, and apparently no one wanted that to happen and put a republican in charge. i dont think anything here was a criminal charge so it can sail out of the news cycle. and some news site did a story finding just how many old yearbooks do have blackface pix in them. it was not insignificant.

also, neil degrasse tyson got "cleared" i guess, and given his tv show back

>The murder of Botham Shem Jean in his own home?
obviously trying to drag out the case but seemed to have a hearing in january where the killer showed up in power suit and blonde flowing hair (like changing zzimmerman from a amateur martial arts/firing range student to a fat slow goofball) with a gag order on the details.

charged wit murder, full stop. because, of course.
and they passed a bodycam law like a month later

trial is probably sometime this year

A lot to get into with this, from framing an entire neighborhood of Black citizens for murder, constitutional rights violations, an overall corrupt police department and trial, heroes funeral with an empty grave for media, the Feds refusal to take the case, three police commissioners, Baltimore city commissioning it's own Warren report that he killed himself to quietly make the thing go away. If fhe right journalist got into this story, the city would be in much worse shape than its currently in.

North Carolina Man Avoids Jail Time, Sentenced to 'Racial Justice Workshop' After Brutally Punching 11-Year-Old Black Girl


A North Carolina man who was arrested in January for brutally punching an 11-year-old black girl has been convicted of two misdemeanors.

From the Asheville Citizen-Times:

David Steven Bell pleaded guilty of misdemeanor assault on a child under the age of 12, as well as one misdemeanor count of assault on a female for pushing a 13-year-old girl during the incident, according to the Buncombe County Clerk’s office. A second misdemeanor charge for pushing another 13-year-old girl was dismissed due to difficulties contacting the victim, according to District Attorney Todd Williams.

In January, The Root reported that Bell, 51, pushed and punched an 11-year-old-girl in the face outside of the Asheville Mall in Asheville, N.C. He is listed as 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds in an incident report taken at the scene.

According to Williams, Bell received a 60-day suspended sentence and has been placed on unsupervised probation for the next 12 months. Additionally, Bell will be required to complete anger management counseling and participate in a racial justice workshop within the next 90 days. He will also be responsible for paying a court fee of less than $200.

In the immediate aftermath of the assault, Asheville attorney Andy Banzhoff tried his best to garner sympathy for Bell by asserting that he suffers from both post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury. However, that’s no excuse for what transpired. And if anything, the lack of severe punishment for assailing a child serves as the latest example of America’s continued disregard for black life.

Posted by Damali, Wed Sep-18-19 11:33 AM
I think alot of people don't understand this..there is only so much bandwidth on a daily basis...it cannot hold every single previous news story + every single current news story

once something has mainstream attention, it then shifts out of the national/global awareness into the local one

so while "no one" is technically still talking about the Flint water crisis, its a constant story/item to every single local person / entity, as it should be.

The major spotlight can't stay on everything
