From my take, the MSM was hoping the killer wasn’t Black or Muslim, or both. Now they can have several weeks of news instead of burying the story on page D23 and forgetting about it.
Who was the perp?
Weirdly, the assailant was reported to be Jewish too, and a religiously devout one at that. I wonder if he forgot and went off his crazy meds.
(Not that I mean being Jewish is crazy, but that when sane he practiced the religion faithfully.)
