Re the killer of Josue Flores (age 11)

I recognize the SI liberal who replied to my earlier post with an angry "Who cares." Well, we already know liberals have no concern for crime victims or for minority young people so there's nothing new there. It occurred to me that the killing of a school child would only have mattered to a liberal if the killer had used a gun. A gun would make it evil instead of "Who cares."

And as it turns out there is a gun connection.

The day before he'd gotten into a fight on a light rail platform. Police had shown up and tried to arrest him. In the struggle, he lost his identification so they knew the guy's identity. They tased him twice but it didn't stop him and he successfully got free and ran away.

They did NOT shoot him though. So the gun connection is that police DIDN'T use their guns. If they had shot him, two things would have happened:

1) It would be another police shooting of an unarmed black man. Even though he probably had a knife in his possession, he apparently didn't brandish at the police. Another BLM situation.

2) Josue Flores, age 11, a good kid who did what he was supposed to do .... would be alive. His mother wouldn't be looking to bury her 11 yo son.
