Someone shot up a subway platform in Brooklyn, New York. The initial media response was exciting. Another opportunity to spin the approved narratives. It was probably a disgruntled white Christian Trump supporter. It wasn’t.
It wasn’t even a disgruntled military-aged lone-wolf Muslim man.
Authorities are looking for Frank R. James, a 62-year-old retired male (though one can never truly know) who has expressed concern online about the coming race war. James, (Language warning)
“…ranted in a YouTube video about how the war in Ukraine could bring about a race war to exterminate black people.
“They’re white, you’re not. They’re doing that to each other? What do they think they’re going to do to you?” he said. “It’s just a matter of time before these white motherfuckers say, ‘Hey listen, enough is enough, these n*****s gotta go.’ What’re you going to do? You gonna fight. And guess what? You gonna die.”
Frank is a black man. Frank is not white.
He is also unhappy with NYC Mayor Eric Adams, the homeless problem, and he is the alleged shooter. But nothing he said was being considered a threat against the mayor or the homeless. But he might have just shot ten people.
The media has to either drop the story or look for ways to bring it back to their preferred narrative without talking about the alleged shooter.
Was it a ghost gun? Casper the unfriendly AR-15. But they won’t say anything about the gun being black. That might lead us to the race of the alleged shooter. What to do, what to do!
Putin did It! And he’s white. And he invaded Ukraine. And people in NYC are concerned. Mayor Adams is concerned. There may even be some lone-wolf Muslim man of military age who is concerned.
Just don’t talk about the subway shooter being a black man unless you can blame it on whitey in which case they deserved to get shot. It’ll be all over CNN+.
