Loner vs. Murderer

Standard


“A quiet loner”

And so it begins.

If I was not witnessing this with my own eyes, I would not believe it true.

Even with the scrutiny and the sarcasm and satirical predictions, the media can’t even acknowledge the racist double standard they perpetuate.

A mixed race group having a pool party in their own neighborhood constitutes the second coming of the ninth hell, but somehow a man that went to worship with the obvious intent to murder is not a terrorist, but a loner. How sad for him. I hope he can get the help he so truly needs to have snapped so suddenly at hearing the Gospel without an outward bias towards the Black church group he so blatantly targeted.

The insanity of this rhetorical two-step leaves the dictionary behind. There are no more appropriate adjectives to use in describing the abject disgust I have with the backpedaling and excuse-making that follows to dismiss the racism that no one wants to see. In fact, the racism that the media still claims isn’t there.

Blaming Eric Garner and Mike Brown was easy. How will a church group at worship be blamed for their own murders? Twenty-six to eighty-seven. Three, or was it four pastors and a state senator. Surely it’s their fault. They were in the wrong place; they didn’t belong in their church on a Wednesday night. The murderer was a loner, a good kid until they provoked him with their Jesus’ love thy neighbor crap. That treat others the way you wish to be treated nonsense.

Come on! Spin this! It’s started. I want to see where it goes.
