- The above is Rueters, so hundreds if not thousands of news outlets carried the story as is, unedited throughout the world.
Simple question, would this 15 year old alleged perpetrator be treated the same way if he was any other race or had a name associated to another religion?
I can imagine many news outlets covering the shooting using this Reuters article might have considered "Ha, Suck It White 'Christians!'" before disappointedly leaving the big reveal for the prominent, uncensored picture.
I myself think murderers are too protected, even as 15 year olds. But the fact that I heard this one's identity revealed over the radio a couple of days ago leapt out at me as selective. Am I wrong?
