Feverishly pushed fake news to amplify “white supremacy” moral panic.
Leftists across Twitter, many of them journalists, scrambled to delete tweets after they falsely claimed the Boulder mass shooter, an Islamist from Syria who reportedly had ISIS sympathies, was “white.”
Earlier today, the gunman was revealed as Ahmad Al-Issa, a migrant from Syria who routinely complained about Donald Trump, “racism” and “Islamophobia” on his Facebook page, which was swiftly deleted.
Other reports also suggest that Al-Issa had ISIS sympathies and had planned to return to Syria.
However, innumerable journalists and other leftist commentators were embarrassed after prematurely claiming that the gunman was white in an effort to amplify their contrived moral panic about “white supremacy.”
“In America, if you’re white, no matter how many people you kill you’ll be taken into custody alive,” tweeted author John Pavlovitz. “We really need to ban angry white guys with guns,” he added before deleting both tweets.
BLM activist Meena Harris also deleted a tweet that screeched, “White men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country.”
Twitter allows verified users like @meenaharris to peddle wild disinformation about shootings/terror attacks in real time.

In her follow up explanation, Harris said, “I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the U.S. are carried out by white men.”
I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting. I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the U.S. are carried out by white men.

This is obviously an attempt to imply that whites are overrepresented in mass shootings, despite the fact that, according to Statista, “Broadly speaking, the racial distribution of mass shootings mirrors the racial distribution of the U.S. population as a whole.”

Jc4you true, but you will never get the communist liberal media to say it was a hate crime, or the muslim get convicted of one like if he was white.
Nevertheless, we know the truth! Liberal media notwithstanding!
I guess the old saying still holds true,, YOU JUST CAN'T FIX STUPID.
Adam Lanza's father was a co-worker of Jeff Immelt on the board of GE and and Jeff was the National GUN TZAR at the time.! Then Adam shot a load of kids and GE moved to Boston.Adam's father and Jeff lived in the same 'hood' in Fairfield County! SMOKY? you bet.
