Off the national media's radar, there have been a string of mass shootings since Boulder. Since last Monday, at least seven people were killed and 54 others injured in 11 separate incidents nationwide, according to Gun Violence Archive. Four of the shootings in Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Virginia Beach left at least seven people shot. As my colleague Champe Barton reported last week, mass shootings (defined by GVA as those with four or more victims killed or injured) skyrocketed last year and remain high through the first three months of 2021. The fear that a lot of Americans are struggling with and facing right now is the fear that people in our neighborhoods have been living with and navigating for decades, Greg Jackson, an advocate for gun violence prevention, told him.

two people get into a fight, and one has a gun, the other is dead. People get in the way, oh well. We joke about what is 'news-worthy' in terms of bodies. Sick.

Although they do have a 10K race that's called the Bolder Boulder.
