My colleague Jennifer Oliver O’Connell reported earlier on a mass shooting in Austin, Texas, late Friday night.
Fourteen people were wounded, with at least two critically-injured during a shooting in downtown Austin.
Two men are suspected of being involved in the shooting, according to the initial reports; although the police later said the number was unclear, but there was a description of one of the suspect.
But it’s what the Austin American-Statesman said about that suspect that is causing a lot of talk today.
At the bottom of its article on the shooting, the paper included the following.
Editor’s note: Police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter

With the rise of Craigslist and the fall of classified advertising newspapers make their diminished revenues mostly through subscriptions from like-minded area people. That particular area of the state being California-Left. The editorial and newsroom staff of the paper apparently see their wealthy woke social media savy readership as highly susceptible to 'perpetuating stereotypes' of an abhorant, unspoken, unspecified but obviously universally recognized nature. They have a low opinion of their readership.

I am going to make a wild guess that the suspect is not Amish.

Behave stereotypically, get stereotyped.
Not rocket science.

We should all write the newspaper & thank them for letting us know the bad guy wasn’t white.

No doubt this situation would never have popped up and became an issue if the suspect was reportedly a White guy.

Black male with dreadlocks. Once again the group that shall not be profiled, but which cannot coexist with any other group, including themselves.

The feral pukes working at the American-Statesman have editor Manny Garcia.

Nothing but pure "woke" posturing by the ignoble AAS. Even they must know that "refusing to describe the suspect in order to avoid racial stereotyping" is the equivalent of screaming "He's Black" in 54 point type!

I guess since there are so many of these particular suspects committing crimes, and they all look alike- then that is why the description is vague.

99.99% of mass shootings are committed by one demographic. We know it and the media knows it too. There is no way that they can hide it, no matter how hard they try.

I guarantee you.......had the shooter been a loner white kid, living in his parents basement, with a manifesto already written......they'd have sure described him.
Along with the obligatory calls for "common sense" gun laws.

Apparently even using language like "teens" or "a group" reveals too much information. The editors really shouldn't be concerned about it because when this type of senseless mayhem happens every weekend and is perpetrated by the same demographic, we know who did it even before we read the vague details.
If we could control the weather like the climate idiots say we can, I would choose Austin as the target of the next hurricane that hits Texas. It would be doing the entire state a favor.

One would have to be a spaced-out wokester to consider the Spaceman to be a credible news source. It's been a leftwing rag for decades.

About 6% of the population is causing about 90% of the violent crimes, including murders, in our country and nobody wants to address the problem. Blacks have gone out of control and nobody has the guts to call them out. Have you noticed that nobody talks about the attacks on Asians anymore. Why, because
every video shows its the same people attacking them. Guess who, you got it. Appalling........

Stereotyping by not stereotyping letting us know things like dreadlocks, hoodies, sport sneakers, baggy pants but don't mention race. Unless it's a white guy then all bets are off we get plenty details. The chosen race is having a field day now this is probably a misdemeanor in Austin if no one was killed but only injured.

Seems to me the description 'black male, with dread locks, wearing a black shirt and a skinny build' isn't vague at all. Probably fits less than 1% of the population.

I was going to observe that it stopped being a "stereotype" a long time ago, but a lot of these mass shooters are white nutjobs..
