I am confused.

I just read the most recent story about the multiple shooting in Kenosha Wisconsin the other night by a young white male. The two men killed, according to the story I just read, were Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, of Kenosha, and Anthony Huber, 26, of Silver Lake. But what's odd is that the "races" of the two victims are not mentioned in the story. In these racially charged times, the races of the perps and victims are usually mentioned. Why would they not be in this story?

Because it would not rile anyone up enough to make more news. I will guess they are not black.

@Bensen32 If I were Conservative, I'd jump all over that. The first stories I read made it clear that the shooter was white. But I'm yet to read a story (I admit that I haven't done an exhaustive search) that discusses the races of the victims of the 17-year-old kid.

They were not black they were white and so was the shooter.

So sad reading this kind of shooting and killing thing. I really don't understand why there are people who are not afraid to take lives. Are they still human? It is also happening here in our locality, many shooting incident.

I suppose because the killer and the victims are same race, so no need to mention.

@TheHorse Exactly, as the others were the same race they did not mention. Anyway why he killed them? Surely not because they were white racists I suspect.

They were all white from what I gathered. That's probably why it didn't make the news. Have a great Friday.

The two that were killed were both white that is why they didn't say. It doesn't help their narrative so no need to mention it.

I agree with you here. Have more Conservative news sources mentioned this little omission?

@TheHorse Yes, and independent news sources have told a bigger story about it. The big news doesn't tell the story they only tell you what they want you to believe. They don't tell you how one of the guys was causing and issue before the shooting, how he was chasing this Kyle kid and throwing things at him.

I guess they need to make it a short story as much as possible.

I think, may be mentioning the race of demise disturb the peaceful life, that is why authority decided not to mentioned anymore.. Anyway I am skeptical about the issues, there may be many reason too

In this case, the race of the killer and the victims was the same apparently.

Is even safe to go anywhere in the US? Regardless of colour or race? I know we has a killer on the loose back in April and repercussions of his murderous spree are still reverberating through the community. I don't want to hear the news any longer. There must be something good happening somewhere?

There's a MyLotter who posts mostly "happy" news stories. I'm spacing his name, though.
