The names of the victims who were murdered at the “Waffle House shooting” have been released.
Yesterday, I poured through news reports to see if anyone had described the patrons of the Waffle House. I strongly suspected that many would be Black and Latino.
Nothing.
Then I finally found an interview with a witness. He was Latino. This morning found two more. They were African-American, and I was not surprised when I saw reports this morning naming the victims — with photos.
News reports are still calling this “random.”
My thoughts: Looked to see if #DomesticTerrorism was trending this morning. Nope. Why not? (rhetorical question)
Let’s see who in the major media will stop the whitewash.
RIP.
Those who died and their families deserve our support — and justice.
