We know that the suspect is in custody. He was injured. They have not released any details about who he was. But we did see footage of a white gentl… uh… a WHITE MAN. He was wearing shorts, no shoes, no shirt. He seemed to be bleeding down his leg. He was handcuffed.

On the very next day when she found out that it was a Muslim:

Vice-President Kamala Harris’ niece:

When she found out it was a Muslim she then tweeted:

Former ATF AGENT IN CHARGE – Jim Kavanaugh stated – before it was known that the murderer was a Muslims, “Is this just a guy copycatting the hate crime, the vicious hate crime in Atlanta?” in reference to Alissa.

You judge for yourself as to how biased or unbiased the media is.

Return to original write-up:

Unlike the killings last week where the Washington Examiner reported on CNN’s broadcast: ¹

During one of his cute "reality check" segments on Thursday, CNN's John Avlon claimed — without evidence! — that "we don't yet know exactly what motivated" the suspect, 21-year-old Robert Long.

Actually, we do know. Atlanta-area law enforcement have said that Long, whose shooting spree is on camera and whose identity was alerted to authorities by his own parents, confessed to the killings and that he attributed his motive to a sex addiction that he was trying to resolve by eliminating the places he had frequented to satisfy it.

The media don't like this set of facts. Because six of the eight victims were of Asian descent, Avlon couldn't stop from trying to make it about race, thus making it about former President Trump, and thus linking it to the ever elusive "white supremacy."

It's nonsense. The irony is that Long appears to have been motivated by the very sort of religious fanaticism that the media would have previously found very interesting, especially because Long isn't a Muslim.

And preliminary information indicates that the killings — of six Asian people and two White people — may not have been racially motivated, but instead could relate to the suspect’s claim of a potential sex addiction, Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds said at the joint news conference…

Because of the victims’ backgrounds, some public officials had raised fears before Wednesday’s police news conference that ethnicity had come into play, amid rising concerns nationwide about anti-Asian violence during the coronavirus pandemic.

“(It is) premature to draw any conclusions (about motive) at this point in time,” FBI special agent in charge Michael Schneider said. *AND* A suspect is in custody, Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold said, but authorities did not share any information on his identity, the type of weapon used or any possible motive.
