    Also shouts "Allahu Akbar" when he gets arrested. Yet another psychopath on a murdering spree.....

    But.....

    How come this isn't all over the news? When I Google search this, one of the only outlets even reporting on this is the "Idaho Statesman"?


    Alas, once again, if roles were reversed.....

    Also shout out to the Central Valley P.D. for not firing a single shot when apprehending this maniac. Otherwise..... Well..... You know what the outcome would have been.....

    Wow..... Why am I having such a problem finding ANYTHING on this? Jesus!!!! Maybe the media outlets could cut the Bill O'Reilly protest coverage to just half of the news cycle so we can get some actual flipping news coverage..... Let's try this:

    if you google fresno shoting, there are many articles about it all over the country.  the search results go on for at least three pages.  i quit looking at 3 pages.  there's already a wikipedia page about it.

    on the other hand, if you google mass shootings, you'll see what's underreported.  there have been more than 90 so far in 2017, 10 of which have involved three or more deaths just within the last month

    shootings involving scary brown people or those other scary religions are always reported more than others.  the media, trump and similar courses know they can make people irrationally fearful when these acts involve minorities.

    being irrationally fearful is no way to go through life.

    Thank you. That's my point.....
    This "situation" was barely reported on, and it seems to be almost out of the news cycle. Not only that, I live in California, and it happened yesterday!!!!

    @Clubdirt - yes, there have been a lot of "underreported" mass shootings so far in the U.S., but how many of those involved the shooter stating, "I'm looking to kill as many (whatever ethnicity/race/etc.) as I can" And also screamed "Allah Akbar!!!!!" as he was arrested. I'm guessing zero.....

    Compare that to how many times we've seen that Asian "doctor" being dragged off the plane?!?!?! Exactly.

    Like I said in the OP, if roles were reversed, or this "victim" would have been gunned down by the police and someone caught it on video, I think we've seen how that would've played out.....

    i'm biased as i think the media is the worst, even worse than  our government.

    but why is murder newsworthy? or why should it be?

    1. it's a tragedy.  but this would apply to most murders equally so one should not be reported any more than another for this reason.  of course, school shootings or murders involving kids would be more newsworthy as they are more tragic.

    2. it involves a famous person.  these murders are different and more interesting to people.  this is why hernandez gets more publicity than others.

    3. it happened in your community/it could happen to you.  people are always interested in significant things that might happen to them.  but religious motivated murders are really a small percentage of murders in this country.  most are people who know each other and have some issue or two idiots that escalate a situation and there's a gun around.

    4. it's a large scale event.  obviously when more people are killed, it is more newsworthy.

    i'm biased as i think the media is the worst, even worse than  our government.

    but why is murder newsworthy? or why should it be?

    1. it's a tragedy.  but this would apply to most murders equally so one should not be reported any more than another for this reason.  of course, school shootings or murders involving kids would be more newsworthy as they are more tragic.

    2. it involves a famous person.  these murders are different and more interesting to people.  this is why hernandez gets more publicity than others.

    3. it happened in your community/it could happen to you.  people are always interested in significant things that might happen to them.  but religious motivated murders are really a small percentage of murders in this country.  most are people who know each other and have some issue or two idiots that escalate a situation and there's a gun around.

    4. it's a large scale event.  obviously when more people are killed, it is more newsworthy. 

    5.  there's something different or unique about it.  the facebook murder got more publicity than it should but posting a murder on facebook is unique.  some nutjob yelling some religious stuff is something but not nearly as interesting these days. 

    i don't know.  what else makes a murder newsworthy?  under these categories, the fresno murder isn't all that notable.  a little but not especially so.

    The Media has stepped in to replace the Sorry Democrats as the Opposition Party due to the fact that the Democrats are leaderless and still in denial due to their Rebuke in November.
    There is NO News that doesn't advance the Progressive agenda or serve to deny/denigrate Trump Presidency.
    Look at the Big story Tue. of a run-off in Georgia and the chance that a Democrat might win a seat and prove that the Trump admin. is being abandoned by his supporters and these last 100 days are all just a terrible dream.

    As for the original title I get the motive.
    I do not condone this as violence begats violence . but at least I can understand the thinking. He did not like white people. Got himself all worked up and likely drug induced rage and went out and killed white people. I understand this I do not like this but at least their is a grain of logic . same as when a white guy shoots minorities . both sides deserve death as they deal in death.

    Save us tax payers a few dollars give em a sheet with a not and loop it on the door walk away from the cell.

    But complete depraved indifference with two men of the same race one going home to his wife and two boys.
    One broke up with a hoa. And the one going home to the boys did not come home. The butcher is caught ordering a fnn happy meal commits suicide. Just do it before you take a man from his family. Hope you choked on that nughey onghe way down.

      I don't disagree with most of what you said. The disturbing part, to me, is the randomness in how some religious nutjob unleashes his hate upon the public. AH did himself.......but the FB idiot & this idiot wasted people they had no prior relationship with. It's every bit as disturbing as the poor kids that become victims in drive-by's. The fact that the media gets to pick & choose which incidents they find the most attractive to promote is sick.........the fact that they have so many choices on any given day is even sicker.

    The reason we haven't heard more until today was because the Police were still collecting evidence.  Apparently this nut-case took the Police to every shooting site and gave them every detail.  There is also another suspect who is a person of interest.

    You guys get WAY too wound up over the media.  Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ALL OF THAT SH!T... turn it all off and live a better life.

    This is the CONSTANT self-sympathizing you see in the forum by the same posters again and again and again. And they all have one thing in common. I wonder what that is?

    I remember some nut job who used to post in the GD on a regular basis.
    Almost all of his threads were racially charged, and always depicting the white man as being the devil.

    This imbecile was then told to change his racist ways or be banned, so he swore off ever posting in the GD forum again.

    I can't recall who the poster was that I am referencing, but for some reason something within this thread reminds me of him.

    Can anyone help me out with his name?

    We keep having the same problem.
    A Muslim in San berdino ft hood here up in Boston conducted an act of terror.
    But referring to them as Muslim terrorists is bad. However an 18 year old kid goes.into a church and funs down black members he is a white christian supremeist. No question.
    Act of terror comes rolling off every medias tongue as easy as cheese before a photo. If we can not identify the problem correctly coming up with a strategy to correct this behavior will never happen. We have murdering thugs in every city killing kids in play grounds mothers in stores and father's going to work. Can someone please inform Jeff the least of the doj concern should be online poker sports gambling or pot heads and start with let's stop the slaughter in the streets of our nation. And can we please be allowed to put murders on death row. You kill more than a person in an act or two people in a life time you get euthanized.
