Shootings

When ever there is a news worthy incident some people reserve judgment for later but others immediately offer an opinion. Those in the latter group usually have an agenda and are looking for clicks. What is more interesting, to say we must wait for the facts or to say he was a white extremist or a Muslim terrorist. If this is the story for a number of days by the time the facts come out many people have already made up their minds. In both cases the news concentrates on the perpetrator with very little coverage on the victims. An exception occurs if a police officer is the perpetrator in which case there is a lot of coverage on the victims.
