    It's no wonder Americans put little faith in the news media.

    I think you've missed the point as to what posters are saying about the media. You want to tell them that race doesn't matter? Be my guest. :)

    And it’s a disgusting practice

    Unless race is the reason the crime was committed then it shouldn’t be relevant. And even if race was the cause people saying I don’t want to be around them is just disturbing, especially since one of the most common attribute of a shooter isn’t race, it’s gender.

    And anyone saying they don’t want to be around men because of their propensity to be mass shooters would be laughed out of a room

    I typically do voice my opinion that race shouldn’t be relevant, I feel the same way with college admissions as well as in law and employment.

    But I guess expecting others to not be always cognitively dissonant while they complain about it and then do it when it benefits them is the issue here.

    Horse poop. The only cognitive dissonance is your own. People complain in most every forum thread. This isn't something new. It's a political forum in case you haven't noticed.

    You brought up posters and what they were complaining about — if you don’t want to introduce a topic, don’t.

    Calling out media narratives is one thing but that wasn’t what I was discussing prior to your comment.

    I know what you were discussing. Your scolding of forum posters for what they want to discuss is the issue. The media makes a big deal out of race when it comes to the shooting of blacks. Heck, the entire left does for that matter but when it's black crime on white, practically the entire left ignores it, and the media barely covers it. People aren't saying race doesn't matter. They're saying that they're tired of the double standards. (see bold below)

    I believe the Sheriff noted that all six had been involved in some felonious activity before the shootings. I heard today that the 12 year old claimed the other two made him kill at least one of the victims by threatening the 12 year old's family. I oppose the death penalty for several reasons but these three should all die in prison.

    Except that wasn’t what was said. Feel free to reread some of the comments on page one — you like a few — that have nothing to do with the media.

    You’ll catch up.
    (Or probably not)

    Your snark aside, it would behoove you to actually try to comprehend what I shared with you above.
    Or don't.
    I don't care.

    Great, that makes two of us

    I really don’t care what you shared, I was simply pointing out what was said that is now trying to be twisted into it’s just people upset at the media.

    Sure.

    They’re behind bars aren’t they? How dare he hold a press conference on the victim’s’ behalf.

    In a DEEP RED State like Florida (governed by DeSantis)...
    And, a DEEP RED County like Marion (62.4% for Trump in 2020)...
    My default assumption would be that their parents were county chairman of Blacks for Trump...
    Prove me wrong...

    This isnt the minority report, thats not how it works unfortunately. Perhaps one day we will have precogs who can sense crime before it happens.

    Why was the sheriffs department not protecting the victims??

    the murderers are now in custody and safe and sound

    seems the sheriffs department are doing a piss poor job of protecting the honest citizens of the county

    No need for a minority report reference

    these murderers had extensive records and were in a gang. Seems the sheriffs department would be watching gangs.

    apparently, all six were involved in some nastiness and then three decided to kill the other three, Did the Sheriff's department have any advance warning that a felonious group of teenagers would turn on itself?

    Do you want the sheriff to pay special attention to blacks?

    The law under "woke" democrats hiding behind a sleeping president have cheapened the lives of honest work a day citizens.
    Even the most craven can not find a way to blame Trump
