More media tricks…
After thinking things over, the Denver Post decided to delete the fact that Arapahoe School shooter Kark Pierson was a committed socialist from their news report.
This is from the original article:
The gunman’s parents divorced in late 2011, according to court records. The divorce was finalized in August 2012.
Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with the gunman, described him as a very opinionated Socialist.
“He was exuberant I guess,” Conrad said. “A lot of people picked on him, but it didn’t seem to bother him.”
And, here is the updated article, sans “socialist.”
Pierson’s parents divorced in late 2011, according to court records. The divorce was finalized in August 2012.
Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with Pierson, described him as very opinionated.
“He was exuberant, I guess,” Conrad said. “A lot of people picked on him, but it didn’t seem to bother him.”
Guess it didn’t fit their narrative that only right-wing Tea Party folks were the dangerous ones.
