The media does this all the time.

Look at all those times when they try to paint some violent individual as an innocent good boy with pics of a little kid in church garb all happy and smiling.

Then you see their most recent pic and they are holding a gun and flipping off the camera or some shit. This is no different.

Spin is what generates clicks and thats all they care about.

If he were a black or latino the media would be digging into his past and painting him as a trouble child that was destined to become a criminal.

He is both of those things, he just happens to come from a white conservative family.

They do it because it seems more shocking to people the younger the shooter is. When mass shootings are regular, the media need ways to make this time seem different or special so that people watch/click.

Don't forget that media is a business. All they care about is how many people are watching and clicking.

Usually the media uses like the only photo of the person wearing a bowtie or from prom usually.

So it happens regardless of race then it seems.

I'm not trolling. Every time a black teenager is shot by police (or a white citizen) they splash the news with "thug" photos, implying that the kid was a criminal who deserved to die.

There really isn't any excuse for how the media handles mass shootings. I still remember, when it was one their own, when that guy killed a woman and cameraman, the station suddenly had a moral center. "Oh, we won't give any attention to the killer, because that would be glorifying his monstrous actions. Instead we'll focus on the victims."

But sure enough when other shootings occur, it's right back to turning it into a damned soap opera. Fuck these news outlets. They don't give a single fuck about anything other than money, and they're happy to create more shooters to keep lining their pockets.

This. It's usually a prom or graduation photo. Or just a happy one in general
