Why Do We Know Almost Nothing About Pittsburgh Gunman Robert Bowers?
30th October 2018
The Other McCain is not afraid to ask the obvious question.
Maybe the Media are so busy figuring out some way to pin it on Trump that they haven’t any bandwidth left over for actually reporting.
The blankness of Robert Bowers should disturb us. Evidently, any random loner — the quiet, nondescript high-school dropout with no friends or family — could log onto the Internet, find some kind of hate that appeals to him, and become a mass murderer. And in all the world of journalism, nobody except some reporters for the local newspaper will expend any effort to figure out what went wrong in this guy’s life. Why? Because they can explain it all with one word: Trump.
That’s the answer, you see. There is no need to examine Robert Bowers’ biographical background in search of an explanation, because the reasons are ready-made: Trump, and “hate” sites on the Internet.
