What strikes me as most curious is that this incident occurred on February 26. Only now is it exploding in the media - one month after the fact. Someone or some organization has decided to use this to stir up the hornet’s nest for a purpose. My guess is to raise sufficient public outcry that enough people will demand that guns be outlawed.

That would be the expectation here in the northeast; for people down south the image of the much larger kid pummeling the smaller guy will make them buy more guns (as it should).
I think the media wants to run with the “white perp” story, and it was up-ended when the photo circulated. I haven’t see the shooter on the news, so maybe they’re still working on the people who don’t use PCs.
