Murder of Four in South Carolina Virtually Ignored; Is It Because Killer Didn’t Use a Gun?
17th March 2018
On March 10, “authorities say,” a 22 year-old man in South Carolina killed “his grandparents, an aunt and a cousin.” It appears that only the Associated Press has given attention to this story. By contrast, recent “mass killings” involving fewer victims received widespread national coverage. Why is that? The answer appears to be that the South Carolina attacker didn’t use a gun.
Plus the alleged perpetrator was a Person of Color. So additional reasons for it not to be reported are (a) that’s as common as dirt, Not News, and (b) that completely contradicts the narrative that Every Bad Thing Is A White Person’s Fault, so not reportable.
