The death of a 15 year old girl and the first comments are people wondering why they won't publish the suspect's description.

Prayers to her family. This is horrible.

You darn right I want to know who the suspect is. If it happens in my town it would be beneficial for me to know who the heck to look for. But because of political correctness and an effort to make these crimes about the gun rather than the people that commit these crimes the source chose to omit that piece of information that is typically a big part of these kinds of crimes. The Trayvon Martin case comes to mind.

BTW… WMAL reported earlier that it was a gang-related shooting and the victims were caught between the cross-fire. Go figure.

Maybe they already have the perp in custody?

If it was gang related, it's not likely anyone described the suspects.

And it's not about wanting to know who the suspect is - it's about people on this forum wanting the suspect to be black so they can make a point and go back to hollering about Trayvon Martin.

Where most gang shootings aren't even a blip on the radar, this one made the news, so.............. I don't want it to be anyone or anything. I want the truth and accurate reporting.

Most of them make it to Chicago's news which is where this came from.

By reading the story.

In fact, now that I've had a few minutes, I read the story, I see that they do not have the perp in custody, and the reason they don't provide a description of the perp is because as of now it seems that there IS no description available.

The only person who could've provided a description is dead.




I'm not friend of the Politically Correct movement by any means, but in this case, I think you got your panties in a wad over a PC boogeyman that's not there.

A dozen kids and not one ID of the perp?
