Massive Texas biker gang shooting gets soft coverage, but we shouldn’t be surprised

(theGrio)  One dead. Eighteen injured. Nearly 200 arrested.

But apparently, not much to see here.

Looking at the media coverage of the May 17 massmurder among Texas motorcycle gangs, you would get the impression that it is not a big deal.

Rival gangs started shooting at each other, and at the police, outside the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas. Police described the scene as “gruesome.”

If the Texas biker gangs were black, the media would be on this thing like white on rice. Yet even though they were armed, because they were white, they were treated as human beings, with dignity.
