#SayTheirNames:
If roles were reversed in any one of these murders, it would be a lead story with wall to wall, 24-7 coverage on every news channel.
I randomly looked up two of the victims (Joe and Jossline Roland). This couple had 5 kids, and were simply trying to buy a used car when this happened:
Jossline Roland, 40, and her husband Joe Roland, 39, were fatally shot on Aug. 14 after responding to an online ad for a used car.
The pair had gone to the Southlands Mall to buy a 2017 Toyota Rav4 they had seen on the Letgo app by a man named James Worthy. However, upon arrival, the couple met 18-year-old Kyree Brown, who told them he had accidentally brought the wrong vehicle title, the Denver Post and CBS reported at the time.
The car had been stolen a few days earlier, according to police, and Brown allegedly convinced the couple to follow him to his apartment, according to an arrest affidavit. That's when he allegedly robbed the couple at gunpoint and fired at them when their vehicle began to move forward, he allegedly told police.
Try to imagine if this were a white thug who murdered a black couple with 5 kids. Aurora, Colorado would be in flames with the media telling us all about the "largely peaceful protests".
The most insidious power the media has, is the the power to ignore.
