CNN: Nation mourns horrible tragedy that mass shooter wasn’t white
(CNN) Thousands across the country are mourning the loss by the mainstream media of another chance to stoke the white-supremacist narrative following another mass shooting yesterday, which turns out was not perpetrated by a cis-gendered white male as originally hoped.
The new information has devastated the media, sending reporters wallowing in an endless stream of tears and disappointment, since their efforts to exploit another mass shooting had failed.
The real story of Orlando Harris is here, although it begins weirdly:
Oct 25 (Reuters) - The teenage gunman who killed a student and a teacher at a St. Louis high school left a note in his car saying his feelings of loneliness were "a perfect storm for a mass shooting," the city's police commissioner said on Tuesday.
Is the "perfect storm" language a direct quote from the student's note, or did the article clumsily segue from "we found the kid's note" to the police chief's saying it was a "perfect storm"? I somehow don't think a distraught teenage killer would be articulate enough to use the phrase "perfect storm" in his murder-note.
Ah—this article makes clear the kid did say "perfect storm."
Wow. Unwontedly eloquent, then.
