We don’t know because most sensational mass shooters are not black.

All MSM covered the mass shooting at a high school football stadium on Friday and did so despite no fatalities and victims were known to the shooter.

Seems many are challenged to distinguish between one, few, several, many and all White, Hispanic, Black, White supremist and Muslim. Says more about them than their targets.

Appears that’s the logic being used by some.

WTH? Was it some cops kid or something?

Either you misread or your source was mistaken.

Beyond a morbid curiosity what does the name do for anyone?

Glad we can count on someone.

Something sounds fishy....

When 47 armed FBI agents and a bomb squad descend on your neighbor’s residence and blow the door off, it becomes impossible to not disclose a name.

You can ask. Nothing compels LE to release a name before they are ready to do so.

When it gets difficult determining the infantile from the intelligent you just have to know expecting common sense to prevail is a lost cause.

Of course congress still on vacation doing nothing about it!

What’s the rush? Trump flip- flopped his position. He’s now concerned about the “ slippery slope”.

Imagine some $$$ will be thrown at mental health and then call it a day.

could be the media outlet wasn't going to mention the name but the police released the name.

I know some of the media outlets will minimize the use of the shooter's name...but that's not a law enforcement policy....that's a media thing.
