Mass Shooting Evokes Meh From Media
Normally, the liberal media establishment loves mass shootings. These opportunities to attack the right to bear arms are often celebrated for weeks and even months on end. But not all mass shootings are equal. There was one in Seattle last Wednesday that barely registered on the national news.
Marquise Latrelle Tolbert, William Ray Tolliver, and an unnamed third person pulled out guns and started shooting at each other during evening rush hour in a crime-ridden downtown area called “The Blade,” killing a bystander and wounding seven others, including a 9-year-old boy. Tolbert and Tolliver remained at large after the event, although Tolliver has now been caught.
NOQ Report explains why the shooting evoked a meh from the media:
• The suspects are Black. Gun control advocates prefer Caucasian suspects.
• Both had lengthy criminal records. Gun control advocates want previously law-abiding citizens to prove their points.
• It occurred in a gun-free zone in the mass transit section of downtown. Gun control advocates refuse to believe gun-free zones don’t work.
• As felons, both suspects were already prohibited from owning or carrying firearms. Gun control advocates do not like stories proving that gun control doesn’t work.
• All eight victims appear to have been caught in a crossfire of a dispute instead of being targeted following a racist social media post or a manifesto being published online. Gun control advocates like manifestos.
These are not the kind of suspects the media hypes, because they are reminders that law-abiding citizens need to be able to protect themselves:

3RD AND PINE UPDATE: Detectives have identified two suspects in yesterday's shooting. Marquise Latrelle Tolbert (age 24, 6'1" 200 lbs) and William Ray Tolliver (age 24, 6'0" 145 lbs). Both men are considered armed and dangerous. Call 911 if you see them or know where they are.
