This drumbeat by the left-wing media immediately to declare the suspect a white guy and the entire incident a racist crime is one of the most egregious parts of this case. The murder of an innocent 7 year girl is tragic enough without the media trying to turn it into a circus rather than a criminal investigation.
I will note that all the left-wing media outlets have effectively gone silent on the case in their editorializing immediately after two black gang member suspects were arrested for the crime. Why don't these news outlets start sounding off how terrible it is that gang members are going around shooting innocent children while decrying black-on-black crime.
