Austin is a liberal redoubt in the heart of conservative Texas. Former Texas Governor Rick Perry referred to Austin as “a blueberry in the tomato soup”. Their media certainly reflect this. There was a major shooting on Saturday. One of the suspects is in custody and the other is still at large. The Austin American-Statesman had this to say:
What we know about the suspect
Police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter as of Saturday morning. The Austin American-Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes and potentially put innocent individuals at risk. If more detailed information is released, we will update our reporting.
From Breitbart (Chacon is the Austin Police Chief):
Chacon said his officers are attempting to locate the suspected shooter described as a “skinny” black male with locs-style hair. No motive has been released at this time.
Perpetuating stereotypes? What? Black gun violence? Look at any of the analyses and blacks are more than twice as likely to die by gun than whites. Also, about 70% of all white gun deaths are suicide - 19% for blacks so the initial numbers are even worse. This is a major problem in America and nobody has the political stones to address it.
