In reply to the discussion: Arlington school shooter PARTIES at home after being freed while his victims remain in hosp. [View all]tulipsandroses
(5,092 posts)56. Where's the party? It looks like he's surrounded by his loved ones
Who are giving him support. This headline and article is trash. But its the Daily Mail so I guess I should know better than to expect real journalism.
Has nothing to do with this young mans guilt or not.
Maybe its shocking to see that black families show love? They must be partying. They could not possibly be making sure he is supported and loved.
How did the writer know he got angry? Have they interrogated him? Did the police tell them that?
Trashy journalism, if you can call it that. I think that might be insulting to real journalists.
