Yep. It’s pretty much a template.
First, cover up that the perpetrators are black.
Second, when the cover is blown, announce it was a “random” attack with no racial motivation.
Then, we hear from the assailant’s mother, grandmother, cousin, whatever, who tells us the assailant was an aspiring athlete or musician, and was a good boy.
The next shoe to drop is usually blaming the gun, the NRA, or slavery, or Jim Crow.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. LOL
eventually it is society’s fault for not providing the support he needed.
