I feel guilty, but LOL!!
No information on the RACE of the perps?
How utterly, utterly shocking.......
Amish, obviously.
Dear EyeGuy,
The article at Fox's website doesn't even indicate whether or not the suspects were even caught.

Yeah, I wish the AgendaMedia would spell it out.
They are so clever in their selective, obfuscated reporting, that I'm confused enough to believe it could have been Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall, you know, those madcap Bowery Boys......
wjz.com reports a little more:
"Four people were shot in the food court of the Westfield Annapolis Mall Saturday evening, and two were critically wounded, fire officials said.
"Two victims, including the suspect and an off duty Federal Agent, were flown to area hospitals, an [sic] admitted into Shock Trauma."
"The article at Fox's website doesn't even indicate whether or not the suspects were even caught."
I wasn't criticizing you. As you know, even if they had them in leg irons at this moment the media would not spell out the obvious.
Let's see they did say it was "gang-related." Must be those roving bands of nuclear family-ensconced Catholic school boys.
People need to stop expecting full biographies of everyone involved in something 5 seconds after it occurs. It never happens.
A worker from the Panda Express was aiming at a stray cat and missed.
Given that there is no indication whether the suspects are still at large, why does the race of the participants matter in an breaking news story? Should they put the race of the people involved in every news story?
LOL!
But if you don't know what race was involved, how will you know whether to care or not?
Dear EyeGuy,
I didn't take it as a criticism of me, but of Fox. I was just pointing out that the Fox article was missing a lot of information that seemed to suggest that they didn't have a whole lot of facts when writing the article.
In fact, their information is pretty outdated, if the wjz.com report is to be believed, which says four folks were shot. It would seem that that the wjz.com report might have reported the ethnicity of the suspect[s], as they note that at least one suspect was wounded and sent to the hospital. Thus, by asking eyewitnesses, it would be relatively easy to ascertain that fact.
We'll have to see what comes out.
I go to Annapolis Mall frequently. When it starts getting late, the crowd changes from mostly regular folks, families, etc., to more of a mix, with plenty of regular folks still, but also folks who dress like thugs, goths, "playas," and what-have-you. There are as many or more white thug-dressers as not. Plenty of the other "alternative lifestyle" folks that come out after dark are also white.

"People need to stop expecting full biographies of everyone involved in something 5 seconds after it occurs."
Well this "people" did not ask for a full biography.
The problem won't be solved until it is made to bleed in the open air. How about a cogent observation, the sort that journalists are so fond of anyway these days:
"Yet another example of the rabid violence which continues to plague the black community."
Really now sitetest, gang-related gun violence among whites?
100% of that sort of thing in St. Louis is young black men, almost always of course, against other young black men.
Perhaps things are different in Maryland.
The 11pm news WJZ is saying that they were wrong- it is three people shot, including a Secret Service agent.
a secret service agent?
Thanks for the update.
Unless your name is Richard Jewell.
