Man, this shooting sure got memoryholed fast.
Apparently it had something to do with bullying. Saw some footage of the fight that happened shortly before and the shooter was getting absolutely brutalized by another black kid. What got me was no one, student or teacher, tried to step in to stop it.
These inner-city schools are damned madhouses.
According to the reddit thread linked here (I know, I know) early with the video, the kid doing the beatdown was the shooter. And it was also supposedly at a school in some higher end suburban area.
Twitter lied to me 😨
What does memory holed mean that they can't stop thinking about it on the news? I'm sure they have a cycle on it set to random to make it 'appear' hot news.
"Memory Holed", a term borrowed from the George Orwell novel 1984, refers to the entire media collectively dropping a story if it goes against the narrative they are trying to push. In this case, the narrative they tried to push before the guy's race was revealed (black) was that of "white supremacists killing people" or something along those lines.
