Antonio Martin Killed : Time To Consider Stop Covering Shootings

In the Middle East deaths are bundled.Names and addresses of the killed are omitted. For example, "Sixty -five Iraqis were killed by a suicide bomber in a market in Baghdad today." We know why they were killed and by what group. Tragic? Yes. But more tragically it's routine so consequently vitals are omitted in reporting. In the sixties a popular saying was, " Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?". Maybe if there were no press coverage about suicide bombings there would be less because A) copy cats wouldn't be aware and B) Why commit suicide if no one knows?In the interest of normalizing what seems to be a daily occurence with regard to our black problems with the police we shouldn't cover the story either.Maybe these would be desperado black losers would find real occupations.
