Very good article on the shooting and coverage.

Well said.
Amen! Thank you, National Review! Bet you won't see anything like that written on the main media!
According to one of the people that tackled one perp, the gun used was a rifle. Not that changes anything.
And the police didn't even bother to talk to that person even after 24 hours after the shooting and the eye-witness was on TV!

I note that they took forever to release the details on who they had in custody. Turns it out it was two Juveniles.
I pretty much predicted it was a gang related shooting and not a mass shooting.
Had it been a white male lone shooter, the media would've release that info on day 1.
Kyle Rittenhouse was a minor when he was wrongfully accused of a gun crime. The media had no issue plastering his name and face everywhere.
I wonder why it’s not the same for these two fellows.

No you don't. Not really.

These two serve no purpose. The story will be dead soon. No pun intended...

I had it pegged from the beginning: since ALL the commentary was about guns, it was obvious that the shooters were from a 'protected species'.
I can only imagine how it would have gone if an armed citizen had taken out one or both of the 'juveniles' (AKA feral black gangbangers).
Great point! I forget Rittenhouse was only 17.
Three days ago there was a response to a "domestic situation" in Minneapolis. Two cops and a paramedic were shot dead. They had the story on ABC News last night. They showed pics of the dead responders, but did not show the pic of the shooter. I wonder why.
You mean this guy? They should have burned his house down around his ears.

I also watched that on the news last night and thought the same thing.
It doesn't fit the narrative.
So now it is not two Juveniles.
From Fox News:
Two adult men have been charged in connection with last week's deadly shooting that killed one person and wounded 22 others during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory rally, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Two men face murder and other felony charges in connection with gunfire outside of Union Station last Wednesday. Dominic M. Miller, 18, of Kansas City, and 22-year-old Lyndell Mays of Raytown each face second-degree murder charges, two counts of armed criminal action and the unlawful use of a weapon.
They are each being held on $1 million bail.
The two Juveniles at the scene were detained , and charged with accessory
Let’s see if they will be charged with hate crimes 🙃
