(Townhall) Michigan State University will remain closed for two days as it recovers from a horrific mass shooting last night.
Anthony McRae shot and killed three people last night and wounded an additional five. He remained at large before being found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
There will be calls for gun control, but there will be a defined shelf life on the coverage since McRae doesn’t check enough boxes for this to be a sustained media effort. First, he’s not white; he’s black—a detail that CNN omitted.
Like the two separate mass shootings in California around the time of the Lunar New Year that two Asian men committed, this horrific event will fade, too. If the shooter isn’t white and using an AR-15 rifle, it’s not national news. It’s a local news story.
We’ll keep talking about this story because the media intentionally buries it since it doesn’t fit their narrative. Second, it seems like progressive politics played a part in McRae obtaining the firearm in this shooting.
In 2019, he was pinched on some gun charges that a soft-on-crime prosecutor dropped. To make matters worse, this prosecuting attorney had a policy not to push too hard on gun charges where those involved were people of color. Oh, and of course, this attorney had ties to George Soros. If McRae had been charged as any other person caught illegally carrying a concealed firearm without a permit, the shooting at MSU might not have happened. The Washington Free Beacon has more:
The Michigan State University shooter had felony gun charges dismissed by a progressive prosecutor.
Had the charges not been dismissed, he would have been barred from owning a firearm at the time of the shooting.
