I must say I was shocked, shocked I tell you. A racist in New York goes after people in an open area, choosing his targets based on the color of their skin, and blast away. I mean, I was shocked by multiple things. As guns are practically banned in New York (Unless you are connected), how is it we can have a shooing or murder with a firearm (I know, another post for another day). But why is it no one showed much interest in this shooter and his motive.
Maybe because the shooter is black and he hates white people. I’m speaking about Frank James. Mr. James did not hide his hatred of others, he proudly boasted of it on YouTube and other social media:
In his videos — which number in the hundreds and feature titles such as “why we need more racial profiling,” “should the black woman be forcibly sterilized,” and “TO KILL OR NOT TO KILL” — James often rails against numerous racial and ethnic groups, including whites, Blacks, Jews, and Latinos. He also compares people of color to “a bunch of turds in a toilet,” waiting to be “flushed” down the drain by society, and implies that a race war between whites and Blacks is imminent. In one video, he calls Sept. 11, 2001 “the most beautiful day in the history of this country.”
The reason I bring this example up is when Mr. James attacked the subway on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, I told a friend of mine, “The press will bury this by Monday.” To check myself, I reviewed the Sunday news shows. The only show that had anything on the shooting was The Week desperately needs David Brinkley, hosted right now by George Stephanopoulos, former Minister of Propaganda for Bubba Clinton.
At the beginning of the show, George asked New York Mayor Eric Adams of the shooting, and HIZONORDAMAER responded that, “We will not surrender our city to the violent few.” Mr. Adams, hate to tell you this, you are already showing a white flag. Hell, the French may be laughing at you now! ☺
But I use this point to show the difference when a white criminal commits crime against non-white targets. The mass shooting in Buffalo by a deranged 18-year-old white male, who has strong evidence of hatred of non-whites, is horrific. No question, he needs to be brought to court, tried, and upon conviction, executed. But I found this interesting, if not untypical. Back to my comment about only one of the Sunday morning shows covering the Subway Shooting from last month, what about this week’s shooting?
UpChuck Todd immediately started with, “It’s happened again…” and listed four shooting over the years, and how they are all minority targets. From some reason, UpChuck didn’t mention the Subway Shooter today, or last month. Later he interviewed NY Governor Kathy Hochul, who promptly didn’t blame the guns, or the shooter, or the shooters mother. She blamed social media
On TWDNDB, George asked Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her reaction to the shooting, and she blamed “gun violence,” and called for “balance” between free speech and safety. For some reason the shooter, i.e. the criminal, is not to blame in her way of “thinking.”
Fox News Sunday and CBS Face The Nation each had a summary of what was currently known, understandably. The question is, will it be dropped within a few days like the Subway Shooter was dropped? I doubt so.
This shooter fits the template the media like to push out, America is filled with white racists all wanting to go out and kill as many blacks, for no reason at all. So when a deranged 39 year old black male who’s made threats against whites in the past name Darrell Brooks drives into a Christmas parade, killing 6, it’s a sign of black racism, right? No. And really it’s not.
Reviewing the stats on mass shootings, in the last 40 years, 127 have occurred in the US. Of them, 68 of the shooters have been white, 21 black. As Non-Hispanic whites make up 60% of the population, 77% of the shooters should be white, right? Actually Non-Hispanic whites encompass 53% of the active shooters. As blacks make up 13% of the general population, 13% should be black. Actually, 16.5% are black.
So does this mean blacks are more likely to kill groups of blacks, whites, or others. Not at all. It means we have some screwed up (All races) people out there who need to be stopped from committing mass murder, and if not stopped, punished as need be.
Again, this is not the media template, much like the propaganda put out that every cop wakes up, puts on his uniform, and has only the goal of shooting an unarmed black man every day.
I have pointed out too many times when a black man walks the street, his greatest threat is not a while male loner, but another black male. From the FBI, when a black person is murdered, 89% of the time it is another black person committing the murder. Nine of ten. Doesn’t sound like we’re drowning in white racist following blacks to kill, but don’t try to confuse the NY Times with the facts.
A website I occasionally go to, Heyjackass, is a daily update of shooting and murder in Chicago, the Windy City. Now, no question, ten murdered (Hopefully the three injured recover) is horrendous. But what happened in our nation’s 3rd largest city last week? In one week (5/8 to 5/14), 93 people were shot, 77 were injured, and 16 are dead. But except for local media, this is not mentioned much.
Unfortunately, it’s not news anymore. We have become numb to the the constant background noise of people murdering others for a perceived slight, or to obtain the victim’s shoes. The dozens every week in Chicago, or Houston, LA, New Orleans, or New York. And until we start targeting the root cause of crime, the criminal, this will not stop. But don’t tell the 4th Estate that, It doesn’t fit in the template, and they have party bosses to support.

If it wasn’t for race, the Democrats would be speechless. Funny how those statistics about blacks being killed by blacks never changes, but for the media trying to change it, if they would even bother to go that route.
And the media reports only on the extreme. It can only do that, because narrative and agenda. All those mass shootings add up to a tiny drop in the bucket when compared to most other fatality related shootings, auto accident fatalities and the bulk of overall crime in America. Yet, the media and the left will always default to anything that maintains the agenda, which is only about banning guns, nothing else.

New York does not have capital punishment, and if the Feds take the case, while they do have the death penalty available, President Biden opposes capital punishment, except for those not yet born, so it wouldn’t be tried as a capital case.
