I knew the story would disappear as soon as I saw a photo of the shooter.
From Neo’s link.
The other reason the media is ghosting this story is, of course, that it spoils the left’s “ban all the guns” agenda.
The shooter should not have had a gun — he was arrested previously for carrying an unlicensed concealed gun, and if he had been prosecuted and convicted of that, he wouldn’t have had the gun.
But the leftwing prosecutors are determined to plead down criminal to misdemeanors, which means that career criminals are technically felony-free — at least as far as their official criminal history goes — and thus there is no legal justification why they can’t buy a gun.
This is the Democrats’ agenda, and that agenda has a bodycount that gets bigger and more obscene every month that passes.
Proof that a significant and powerful portion of the Dem leadership does not care at all about criminal gun violence. For them, the obvious gun-control agenda is to disarm law abiding citizens.
If I understand that article correctly, and it was written correctly, LE officials didn’t even confiscate the MSU shooter’s illegally possessed firearm when he was caught with it. How is that possible?
Correction. Illegally concealed firearm.
The general rule of thumb is:
– Black shooter + black or mostly black victims = Barely mentioned in the first place lest people start to wonder if maybe the police aren’t a pariah on the black community but are actually necessary.
– Black shooter + white or mostly white victims = Mentioned briefly with emphasis on GUNS. Then memory holed.
– White shooter + all white victims. Story goes on for weeks in the headlines with an emphasis on guns and gun culture, linking it to Republicans and Christians, even if the shooter was a self proclaimed atheist-Communist. A good deal of ‘think pieces’ on ‘white rage as well’
– White shooter + even one black victim = Defcon One. Headline news for months. White Supremacy the sole cause. All whites to blame, but especially Republicans and Christians. White Rage is destroying the entire planet; we’re still living in slave times. Donald Trump is behind all of this. Liberal whites prostrate before blacks. Slo’ Joe has the victim’s family at the Whiye House. Ben Crump sues…anyone he can think of. Widespread deplatforming of anyone to the right of Elizabeth Warren. Eight to Nine figure reparations demanded and approved in many progressive cities/states. Universities abd corporate America triple their DEI budgets. Ibram Kendi wins the Nobel Prize Etc. Etc.
Not to mention, MSU is a weapons-free zone. Cannot fathom how the shooter was able to by pass THAT. He should’ve thought, “Well, the campus is a weapons free zone, so I’d better not bring this gun there.”
In this case, two of the dead were white, and one black. RIP. I don’t know how the several victims who went to the hospital in critical condition are doing, since the story has dropped out of the news.
Should be said, in Michigan it’s still big news. Much of it’s about recovering, students’ feelings, vigils, so forth.
It’s also about a quarter of Chicago’s weekly butcher’s bill which seems to get very little attention.
I recall seeing on Twitter a photo of a white guy being spread as the supposed shooter.
Dwaz. Some people said they thought for months that Kyle RIttenhouse had shot black people.
FWIW, two of the students still in hospital are Chinese, according to the Chinese consulate in Chicago. I don’t know whether the MSM counts them as “white-adjacent” Asians or just ignores them.
It’s not disappearing here in Michigan. It’s 75% of all of the articles in both the News and Free Press. Whitmer is out talking about how “enough is enough”; the articles are all focused on how college kids are pushing for gun control, etc.
Michigan has a Dem senate for the first time in 40 years; they’re going to push for red flag laws and other restrictions, and the media is helping them.
A lot of this going on these days. The 6-year-old that shot his teacher in Virginia?
Black kid.
The anti-Asian coast-to-coast wave of violence initially blamed on Trumpists quickly disappeared when virtually all the security videos showed it was blacks comitting the violence.
If it doesn’t fit the narrative then it gets scant national media attention & quickly becomes a “local news” story. Kermit Gosnell anyone?

The NY Post has run updates on the MSU shooting story for the past few days. Today’s update features an interview with the professor (who teaches Cuban literature, not exactly a white-bread subject) whose class was interrupted by the shooter: https://nypost.com/2023/02/17/msu-professor-describes-gunman-anthony-mcrae-as-robot/
