Only Damar?

I know everyone is glad that Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is okay and on the mend.

His was a shocking "death" on the field a few days back, and only the quick work by the Bills' crew helped bring him back to life.  He may well have suffered from an event called "commotio cordis," which is heart stoppage caused by a blow to the chest at exactly the right (wrong) moment, literally between beats.  

It's extremely rare.  I spent more than 40 years in the medical field and never witnessed, or even heard about, a single case occurring.  That rare.

But Damar suffered this event in front of millions on national TV.  So every football fan, and every other viewer, was heavily invested in his situation.  As well they should.  

But is it just me that thinks there might be a little bit of attention paid to the 30 people shot in Chicago last weekend?  And the 11 of them that died?  And they were all Black?  

Every. Single. One.?

And that's just an average, run-of-the-mill weekend in Chicago.  It's a war zone in the South and Westside.  Nobody goes there, except for the Black folks who can't afford to leave, and the druggies who are shooting at each other.

But nobody cares about those Black folks.  Even the Black mayor of Chicago doesn't care about those Black folks.  Just one adult who "dies" while playing a kids' game.

Strange...
