BREAKING: The Suspects in the Virginia Beach Mass Shootings are Finally Identified by Kyle Becker 3/27/2021shootings....
No case was a more conspicuous example of this than the recent mass shooting at a Boulder supermarket that left ten people dead. When it was revealed the suspect’s name was Ahmad al-Alissa, the news disappeared from the headlines almost immediately. The ten victims? All white people. There is even evidence the suspect had racial grievances due in part to biased media coverage.
It was nearly as egregious a case of media malpractice as coverage of the Atlanta mass shooting that had left eight victims dead; six people of Asian descent, and two white people. The motive was instantly attributed as an Asian “hate crime,” but the suspect reportedly said his murderous rampage was motivated by his struggle against sexual addiction.
Two mass shooting narratives burst in the span of a week. Political agenda first; news reporting second. It has sadly become the American way.
So, as the nation remains on edge after the two mass shootings, and the Biden administration poised to declare new gun control regulations, one would imagine that more reports of mass shootings would only feed the media frenzy.
On Friday night, however, there were mass shootings. Not just one, but two of them. But instead of the news media jumping in to fill in the details, it showed remarkable restraint. It was eerily quiet.
In Philadelphia, a mass shooting in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia at a sports club called the Golf & Social Bar left seven people wounded. The details are still sparse about the suspects, but this is what we know so far, based on police scanner reports.
“Police report that they have two suspects at large. The shooter is wearing a gray quarter-zip sweatshirt with writing on the left side of the chest, a black hood underneath, dark black pants, and black shoes. He is accompanied by a man who is wearing a maroon quarter-zip sweatshirt, and pants with a brown patch.”
“Police report that they have secured two vehicles with firearms discovered inside of them. They report that the owners of the vehicles are involved in the shooting.”
“Police report that they have detained a person of interest.”
“Police report that a white Toyota SUV with a license plate of LHY6475 may be involved in the shooting. Police recovered a firearm with an extended magazine in the vehicle.”
The shooting left three in critical condition and four in stable condition. Although we cannot speculate on the identity of the gunman, it is a sad commentary that we can assume that if there were a racial element to it that fit the media’s narrative, it is highly probable the identity would have been leaked by now.
The Virginia Beach mass shooting is even more horrific, as it led to at least two fatalities.
“At least 10 people were shot, two of them fatally, during what the police called a ‘chaotic’ night of violence in Virginia Beach on Friday, with two apparently unrelated cases of gunfire within blocks of each other,” the New York Times reported on Saturday.
According to a CNN report, the shooting resulted from a “fight among a group of people,” per the press release issued by police on Saturday afternoon.
The Virginia Beach Police Department said it began when a group of people got into a heated argument.
“At some point during the physical altercation, several individuals produced firearms and began shooting at each other, resulting in numerous people being wounded,” the police’s press release said.
Finally, we have the names of those charged in the mass shootings: Ahmon Jahree Adams, 22, of Chesapeake, Va.; and Nyquez Tyyon Baker, 18; and Devon Maurice Dorsey Jr., 20; both of Virginia Beach.
