CNN’s Erin Burnett is being skewered for reporting that the gunman who opened fire in a Midtown skyscraper — killing an NYPD cop and three others — was “possibly white” after viewing the initial security footage released immediately after Shane Tamura’s deadly rampage. In the photos first shared online, Tamura, 27, was captured in broad daylight walking into 345 Park Ave. with a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 rifle in his hand. Burnett said police knew the gunman had “sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white” during a broadcast shortly after the shooting Monday evening.

Erin Burnett may possibly have a brain. But it's doubtful.
Working for CNN may be a cause of traumatic brain injury.

They needed a three year old fact checker. As even a three year old could peg this guy as black. It is not racist to identify him as black. It was just a fact. You are the one who wants to make this racist. But gosh, if he had only been white, wearing a T-shirt that had an American flag on it and a MAGA hat. Damn, that would have made for good television.

Did she say he wore a MAGA hat? Well, why not while you are at it?

He looked Asian in head photo and his surname Tamura is Japanese.

He is also possibly a Martian, but I doubt it.

She was clearly projecting her deepest hopes and dreams. White MAGA supporting male fits their template for typical mass shooter. Nothing pains the libtard media more than having to report that a killer was a minority or a leftist (which is more often than not the case).

Erin Burnett is a snake. The perfect specimen for working for CNN.

The close up of his face indicates black racial characteristics and asian eyes. I bet with the last name sounding asian, that he has a black mother, asian father.

He was also possibly a CNN employee.
So, Erin, where exactly were you at 6:28 PM? Do you know this guy? Are you involved with him? We need to examine all the possibilities.

Not unusual for CNN to put their own slant on the news.

when a photo was published, i noticed it was meant to be cropped, and set at a distance.
nevertheless, his hair was not cropped; there was no mistaking this man as white.
does this network qualify as delusional....possibly...?

Burnett was "flamed," reads the headline. She ought to have been fired.

Few people probably remember that this is the same person who once anchored a portion of CNBC's weekday broadcasts. She had a good reputation at the time. Amazing how a few years of working for CNN has rendered her a complete ditz.

The nutters roam among us. They have used airplanes, ammonium fertilizer, firearms, knives, suicide vests and vehicles but there are always calls to disarm honest citizens ignoring the fact that armed citizens stop criminals almost every day. It may come to the point that, like Switzerland, non-criminal adults are required to own a rifle kept of their premises. In this day and time, I would advise good citizens to own one, do some training and at least keep one on their premises or in their vehicle. The US is now a different country than the one I grew up in.

Yes, and both Erin Burnout and CNN are possibly stupid.
