On Wednesday, an angry ex-employee got a gun, put a silencer on it, went to the MillersCoors facility where he had once worked, and shot five people to death before shooting himself. One would expect to have a barrage of news stories about America’s gun violence problem and the need to ban guns. After all, on Tuesday, before the shooting happened, the Democrat candidates were all over each other trying to explain why each would be more effective at destroying the Second Amendment. Instead, though, we got crickets.

The reason for the media’s silence became apparent when the media identified the shooter: 51-year-old Anthony Ferrill was black. This meant that the media couldn’t use its w***e s*********t narrative to justify grabbing guns.

The narrative broke down even further when social media posts revealed that Ferrill may well have been an Elizabeth Warren supporter, an assumption arising from the fact that his wife proudly posted a selfie of herself last year at an Elizabeth Warren rally:

On her various social media pages, which have now been deleted, Ferrill’s wife posted photos of her family and expressing liberal political views. In July 2019, Ferrill’s wife attended a speech by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren at South Division High School Gym in Milwaukee. Following the speech, Ferrill’s wife took a photo with the Massachusetts senator.

If the media were genuinely committed to gutting the Second Amendment, they would have promoted this shooting equally with other mass shootings. That they didn’t is a reminder that Democrat values tend to be situational. Guns are all right in some hands but not in others

The media is genuinely committed to the democratic party and that is all. T***H is far from what they look for!

It's not about guns. It never has been. If anything happens that can't be used as a political club against Trump, it won't get much coverage.

You are right on target.

What do you mean the media is silent? The shooting story was above the fold on the front page of every major paper in the country.

The point being that it didn't become the 24/7 story it would have had it been a white guy or, heaven forbid, a Trump supporter.

Only a blurb or two - and for about 45 seconds on air. And, the usual liberal crowd isn't out there calling for immediate action with a bevy of gun control laws.

Thank the Lord the guy wasn't white, a Trump supporter and a KKK member, that story would be good for a week or better.

American Vet

At a minimum.....plus half a dozen new laws brought out by democrats.

Did any of the media mention that the shooter appeared to be a Warren supporter?

Another example of the two-faced media and Democrats. I read about this and didn't know the guy was black or a liberal democratic supporter. Not surprised!

Kevyn

The thing I have not determined is what sort of weapon he used. Since the death toll was in single digits likely not an assault rifle, but time will tell.

Noraa Loc: Kansas

What the hell difference does that make?

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

What difference would that make fool? Do you even know what an assault rifle is? I’d like to know if the silencer was home made or purchased. Gotta jump through a lot of hoops to purchase one.
