There were two major mass shootings in the United States in May 2022; one at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York on May 14 and one at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas on May 24. A great deal more public attention is currently being given to the Uvalde shooting because:

  • I disagree with the premise. I feel the two shootings are receiving proportional attention.
  • Chronology. The Uvalde shooting occurred after the Buffalo shooting and eclipsed it.
  • Most of the victims in Uvalde were young children and this focused more attention on that shooting.
  • Public attention moves on quickly. People would have stopped talking about the Buffalo shooting after two weeks even if there hadn’t been another shooting.
  • The number of casualties was greater in Uvalde. Twenty-two people versus ten.
  • San Antonio is a much larger media market than Buffalo.
  • The issue of the police response in Uvalde makes that shooting more newsworthy.
  • The media would rather talk about a Hispanic shooter who was crazy than a white shooter committing hate crimes.
  • What do you mean two mass shootings? There have been fifty-six mass shootings in May 2002.

It’s called skinvertising. This article says: “Jim is the first skinvertiser, back in 2003 when CI Host, a large Texas-based hosting company, paid him $7,000 to have their logo tattooed on the back of his head for a contract of five years.”
