Hmmmmm

A man in Oklahoma City has been arrested for threatening to carry out a mass shooting in San Antonio, just days after 59 people were killed, and more than 500 others injured, in the Las Vegas shooting massacre.

[The man] posted the threats on his Facebook page Tuesday night, has been charged with a terrorism hoax under Oklahoma law and faces a charge in Bexar County of making terrorist threats, reports My San Antonio.

"Terrorism hoax?" "Terrorism"? The Las Vegas actual mass killing was never reported/charged as terrorism. Why is this?

You guessed it...

He's black.
[Roderick Lamar] Robinson threatened to “kill all” patrons on North Main Avenue, San Antonio, which is reportedly a “hub for the city’s LGBTQ community”.

"It's war b--ches an [sic] no one is safe on the strip," wrote Robinson, who goes by Rod Lamar on the social networking site. He went on to threaten that he would do “more than” what happened at the country music festival in Las Vegas - the deadliest gun massacre in modern US history.

[...]

Robinson later posted an apology to his page, saying that he “regrets” what he said and that there is “nothing to worry about”.


Adam Johnson just released his latest podcast, interestingly enough dealing with this very issue of racially disparate media reports. Check it out.


...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
