Another day, another mass shooting, another tug of war over the Narrative about who is to blame. It’s become an almost weekly spectacle for Americans. Coulter’s law states the longer we go without being told the race of the shooter, the less likely it is to be white men.

There was also a strange tale about a boyfriend being involved, possibly because initial reports said the woman was wearing a hijab. One wonders whether these reports were meant to deliberately dissuade people from assuming the shooter was motivated by Islam.
