Girl Scout Shot in Drive By: 9 YO Girl Scout Shot in the Leg While Leaving Her House to Go Sell Cookies – The Cubic Lane

Read carefully, not one mention of the ethnicity of the shooters even though someone saw a hand outside the car that carried the shooter.

Of course the story will turn into one about guns, forget that some punk did the shooting. Ban guns but not punks I guess.

So, instead of commenting on gun crime, right out of the gate you complain about the race of the shooter? Who effing cares??

Well, I can understand the frustration. I have seen first-hand in the local paper here. They won't say the race of the person that has NOT been apprehended yet want information on the subject at large. It doesn't make sense. Would a description, including race, help. I think so. I might add, this only happens with a certain race. Intentional, I think so.

So everytime a white person commits a gun crime you want the article to say White man (or woman)? Or is this just for black people?
