Leftists always need a scapegoat for their failed policies. They can never admit the destructive results of their ideology. Their goal must be destruction.

No photo of Shamar.

Black? Muslim?

If non-white or non-Christian, the news coverage will disappear.

Anti-gun propaganda will never disappear.
