Re NBC Pete Williams - Won't mention future killers' names AT ALL? [View all]

I’m sorry,, I get the idea of not making them famous, but I think we are entitled to know who is wreaking death and destruction. Is it a coincidence that the white supremacists are finally getting recognized as domestic terrorists and NOW they aren’t going to tell the names? Imagine if the killers had been Muslim — would they decide not to name the killers? If so, there would be an outcry, that the media was hiding something.

It’s gotten a little embarrassing to certain people when the mass murderers are white right wingers? Is this more white privilege?

In the future, prepare for rewriting of history. The Gilroy shooter had some police department family connection. We will hear the aspects of the story that are convenient to some in power and not the aspects that are inconvenient.

We are already bereft of strong local newspapers across the country.
