Being taught about white privilege, by The Philadelphia Inquirer

by

It has been pointed out countless times on The First Street Journal that The Philadelphia Inquirer only cares about individual homicides when the victim is an ‘innocent,’ a person already of some note, or a cute little white girl.

And so it has been with the killing of Josh Kruger.

Police identify person of interest in killing of local journalist Josh Kruger

News of Kruger’s death left many in the city heartbroken and confused.

Philadelphia police have identified a person of interest in the death of Josh Kruger, a journalist and advocate who was shot and killed inside his Point Breeze home this week.

Police are searching for a man — whom they declined to identify — who they believe may have information on what happened to Kruger, said Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore. An arrest warrant has not been issued, he said, but detectives want to bring the man into custody and ask him some questions.

Vanore said investigators have not identified a motive for the killing, but they believe the shooter was someone Kruger knew.

“We don’t want to close any doors,” he said. “We’re working hard to try and fortify that person of interest.”

It’s great that the Police have at least a ‘person of interest’ in the case identified, even though he has apparently not yet been located and arrested. But, as we have previously noted, there were four black people shot, three of whom died, and the (alleged) shooter than shot and killed by the police, and there’s nothing in the Inky, not on their website main page or specific crime page indicating any follow up on that case.

Interestingly enough, the city’s Shootings Victims Database, at least as of 10:55 AM EDT, lists the shootings only of two of the three deceased, and the surviving victim, even though the Inquirer stated, and named, the three deceased victims. That kind of makes me wonder just how accurate the city’s statistics are.

So, why is the Inky not pursuing the story about the killings of Denise Snead-Doram, 63, Gregory Doram, 61, the victim not listed in the Database, and Nina O’Brien, 42, of West Mount Airy, all killed in the home in the 6100 block of Shelbourne Street, by Jahad Snead, 41, who also lived in the house, and was killed by the police? The suspect was shot by police on Phil-Ellena Street in Mount Airy, and that, too, is not listed in the Database; there is no 41-year-old male listed as having been shot on that date, nor any shooting on Phil-Ellena Street.

I’ve said it before: black lives don’t matter, not to the Inquirer, other than when they can be used, in the aggregate rather than individually, to make arguments to subvert our Second Amendment rights.
