"Shooter" (singular) as "they" (plural) entered the Walmart.

Which is it, one or more than one?

Headline pix on Drudge shows two gunmen.

You don’t really look at stuff do you? It’s the same guy from two cameras.

This is how misinformation gets out there.

“Headline pix on Drudge shows two gunmen. “

Is that the one who always disappears?

Silly, it's the singular "they".

That's their(sic) preferred pronoun.

Pics on Drudge are the same shooter from two cameras or two shots from one camera.

Many media sites have sworn off using “he” or “she”. Those words are discriminatory and sexist, and might contribute to global warming. Sure, this leads to confusion. But it’s way more important to be politically correct.

Same subhuman. V neck black tee shirt with khaki cargo pants. Two different frames from the same camera.

Maybe you haven’t heard. The pronoun “he” has been banned from the English language as being a sexist word. So while I would say “The shooter as he entered Walmart...”, the PC thoght police demand that all journalists say “The shooter as they entered Walmart...”

We are no longer allowed to say “he, she” or “him, her”, only “they, them”

You are going to see this exclusively from now on since proper English has been sacrificed on the alter of political correctness, liberalism, and social justice.

The America I grew up in no longer exists. I hate modern life. It stinks.
