This coverage of an active shooter at the Gilroy Garlic Festival has a warning about strong language because strong language shocks Americans but someone with a gun shooting at innocent people doesn't.https://t.co/aLS7VpLGo1

Tennessee authorities identified the four victims who were killed when a partially naked gunman opened fire at a suburban Waffle House early Sunday. All four were young people of color with their whole lives of ahead of them. #WaffleHouse
BREAKING: He has been arrested.
Yeah, he’s alive and well. And that’s just fine that he will face justice.
It’s just so damn peculiar how unarmed Black men like Stephon Clark get slaughtered in a hail of bullets but these white murderers are always taken in peacefully. pic.twitter.com/xDzcfjXtHG

There's a distinct lack of coverage on how the #WaffleHouse shooting was likely racially-motivated.
All of the dead were people of color; the shooter was a white man with a history of white supremacy.
If we can't even talk about this, it won't ever be fixed.
