Riling the Mob


[More]

I'm sure there must be a really legitimate reason "New York-based journalist" Samira Sadeque and the editorial professionals at The Daily Dot felt it appropriate to include this prominently in their "report."

UPDATE: About those two "white" suspects identified in enough detail for a police sketch:
Despite the initial description widely circulated for nearly a week, the tipster said gunman was a black man, and that he was the passenger in a car driven by another black man. The emailer didn't offer the alleged driver's full name, but instead directed investigators to an Instagram account that authorities used to figure out his real name: Eric Black Jr.
Looks like Mom's got some 'splainin' to do.

Now that the mob has been riled, will we see equivalent efforts and apologies to correct the record?

"Anonymous": It's not clear to whom your comment is directed. If to me, perhaps you'd be good enough to point to the new information on this breaking story that would have been uncovered by "homework" at the time this post was made, and also to identify any "bloviating" in my one-sentence comment that is consistent with the definition.

The odds are very high that the mommy knew the shooter(s), that they are in fact black, and were getting even for some imaginary wrong.
