After not addressing for more than 10 hours, investigators further confirmed there were multiple injured as a result of the incident, after witness accounts indicated at least 20 were shot - most of whom are believed to be teenagers.

Without looking at the article yet, my first thought is "Were any white people involved?" I'll bet not. The bare bones of the article fit the normal hair trigger violent black lifestyle that has become so common.
Now....I'll go and read it.

Well, after reading the story the only hint is that it occurred at a dance studio called Mahogany Masterpiece....which sounds like a name of a black dance studio, but maybe not.
No names are given, but I'll bet that De'Vontay got all sideways because D'Antwaan was dissin' him about Shartre, so the only thing to do was grab his Glock and shoot everyone there.

According to earlier reports, there are at least 6 fatalities. The ATF and FBI are on the scene, so you can count on deliberate delays in disclosure of details because the perp(s) are members of a protected class. CNN’s account of the incident was buried about 7 scrolls down their site until a few minutes ago. Now it is 3 scrolls down. CNN wants the story to go away.

Wikipedia says that Dadeville is 50% white 48% black. And all the articles are studiously avoiding any names or photos.
Another attempt to prevent us from knowing that this was just another black on black shooting spree in the hair trigger violent "black community". The longer they "customize" this story to prevent discovery of the race of the people involved - the more certain it becomes that this is being twisted by the Enemedia to prevent the truth from coming out.

I didn't know the Amish lived so far down south!
Whenever I read about shootings at funerals, parties, or family gatherings in general, my immediate conclusion is that it's gang related... and most probably a "black-on-black" crime.

By the look of its Facebook page Mahogany Masterpiece is a business devoted to young tween-age girls who want to learn to dance and have a wholesome and fun time doing so. There are popcorn and movie nights, birthday party accommodations and one video shows eager, happy, tired girls after a vigorous dance lesson. The page also features a respectful tribute to Christ for his redemption of humanity. Yes, the kids are black. Lest some of us be tempted to make snide and knowing jokes let us be reminded that we have white brethren who do and have done their share of hideous crimes. These victims and their families deserve our prayers.

RE #9, about 75-80% of violent crime is done by a 6% minority demographic. We are not permitted to notice that and when we do, various scolds come out and tell us that "white people do it too".
Yes, they do, but the 80% of white folks doing 20% of the violent crime is WAY different fraction of people who are just violent people compared to 6% doing 75+%.
One federal study said that your odds of being murdered by a black person was 7 times higher than your odds of being murdered by a white person.

I saw only one name mentioned referring to a deceased football prospect - a Phil Dowdell. Further looking turned up a picture of a Philstavious Dowdell. Not your conventional name by any stretch.

Notice how the media is now lumping gangbanger shootings with Obama-recruited “random” shootings? It’s all about manipulating the law abiding public into giving up their guns, or guilting legislators to force them into it.

Applying "Sailer's Law of Mass Shootings," (if more wounded than killed, it's a black perp), one can easily prognosticate the ethnicity of the shooter(s). No need to investigate further.

Deleted. Addressing other posters is not permitted.. I don’t think there is any point in dishonesty or denying reality. I know that black crime is a terrible problem in this country and I do also get sick of the slaughter and repetitive nature of these senseless and vicious crimes. But looking at the Facebook page for Mahogany Masterpiece and seeing those young smiling innocent and vibrant girls, so much like my 10 year-old ballet student granddaughter, just hit me hard. The cold brutal truth is one thing and responsible adults have to suck it up and be honest about the problems. But the knowing and snide remarks of some posters just hit me wrong, no offense to them. I know the feeling. But those poor little victims deserve our restraint.

Chances are it will be difficult for Biden to jog out and blame White Supremists for these murders and aggravated assaults? To be sure we should wait and see what law enforcement comes up with.

The dance school may have just rented out the space...have no connection to either the party planners, the kids involved, nor certainly the shooters.

Given the ages of the guests, its a pretty sure bet that no gun involved were legally possessed. Given the fact that the shooter(s) showed up to a Sweet Sixteen party strapped, it's a pretty sure bet they were depraved enough to pull the trigger. The problem is not laws - the problem is raising shooters.

RE #20. I don't disagree with anything you say, and I saw those same smiling little girls in the Mahogany Masterpiece photos, and it is VERY sad. They do NOT deserve this violence.
But ultimately when conventional social mores and behaviors like getting an education, getting a job, working hard, and being against violent reponses as the instant reply to all social frictions, real or imagined is called, very dispargingly, "acting white"....I don't see them trying to change this serious cultural problem.
White people cannot fix this. This must be something that the black community 1) recognizes as THEIR problem and 2) finds a way to get these ultra violent 'standard responses' to be socially unacceptable and stamped out of their culture.
At this point, it seems like only a very, very few black commentators even will acknowledge that this is a problem, let alone try to fix it.
There is a deep dysfunction in black American culture that seems to accept and even expect an ultra violent response to the slightest social friction. And almost all victims are black, and many are entirely innocent.
And, I repeat. White people cannot "fix" this. My only tool is to be able to defend myself and my loved ones if this violence comes my way.

Birthday party, baptism, graduation, funeral, wedding, barbeque, it doesn't matter. Same people, same problems, same illegal guns. Same story, just a different day. When is somebody going to ask the question. What is wrong with these people. Oh, glad Biden was informed about this shooting. That means he must be told about shootings like this every 4 hours. Sad part is, take every democratic run city out of the equation and this country doesn't have a crime problem, doesn't have a gun problem and doesn't have a drug problem. Pathetic.

BTW, the updated article (at Original Article) shows vitim Phil Dowdell in several photos. A star athlete, he had just received a scholarship to Jacksonville State. His sister’s sixteenth birthday was the reason for the party. She was wounded as was their mother.
It is my guess that the shooter was not invited to the party. We’ll find out in due course.

I googled the victim and he is a young black male who was headed to college on a sports scholarship IIRC. From what the article said, he sounded like a nice kid with great potential.

Every time I see stories like this I cringe. Not only is the fact that lives are lost and damaged. It's the fact that its Black-on-Black crime. Not only is it an epidemic in my fellow Blacks' communities especially in Black run cities. It's an epidemic for political reasons seems to be shielded from scrutiny from democrats and their media boot lickers. What's also troubling is when Blacks like myself and others bring this up we're called want to be White, Oreo, coon, Uncle Tom or my personal favorite a White Nationalist Ultra MAGA extremist in Blackface. Being called names by clueless idiots belonging to a party that doesn't know what a woman is, believes children as young as four can be groomed by perverts disguised as teacher and thinks everyone should eat bugs, drink soy milk and drive EV's tomorrow does not concern me. What does is the Black Community has a problem with its young people thinking violence is ok to solve issues. Unless and until that is addressed tragedies like this will continue to happen and be swept under the rug.
