Theres a remarkable number of dangling facts about Stephen Paddocks mass murder in Las Vegas, which the media have shown little inclination to investigate. Its almost as if theyre worried that too much investigation will ruin it.

For example:

Who was the woman shouting, YOURE ALL GOING TO DIE! right before the concert? Is any reporter interested in finding out? Probably a random crazy lady, but thats not typical pre-concert behavior.

Why is it taking so long to find out if anyone else went into Paddocks hotel room since he checked in last Thursday? Im perfectly prepared to accept that he was the only one who entered that room, but can we see the surveillance video?

The sum-total of the information we know about Marilou Danley, the woman whos been living with Paddock for years is the following:She was out of the country at the time of the attack. Shes not involved.

Paddock had apparently assembled an enormous arsenal of weapons. Did she know about it? Did he tell her why? Had his behavior changed recently? Why wasnt he with her on her trip? Had they broken up? And why did Paddock recently wire $100,000 to the Philippines?

Within hours of the first indictments in the Duke lacrosse case later, all thrown out the media was bristling with information about the players parents, the homes they grew up in, the ritziness of their neighborhoods, and the tuition at their Catholic high schools. Doesnt any reporter want to ask Danleyanything?

Do we know yet why Paddock broke two windows? What were his recent winnings or losses at gambling?

I dont know if any of this would change the basic narrative. But the media dont know, either, and they seem strangely reluctant to ask. As Sherlock Holmes said: First, you exclude the impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Our media isnt doing the reporting that would allow us to excludeanything.And then they wonder why conspiracy theories develop.

The medias idea of hard-hitting investigative reporting is to taunt gun-owners and white men. Making snarky political remarks is Job No. 1 of reporters. Apparently, its also the new job description for late-night comics. As long as were looking for jobs that Americans just wont do, maybe we could find some immigrants to tell jokes and report news.

Were getting a lot of smirky, celebratory headlines, like these:

AMERICAS WHITE MAN PROBLEM

HOW AMERICA HAS SILENTLY ACCEPTED THE RAGE OF WHITE MEN

THE WHITE PRIVILEGE OF THE LONE WOLF SHOOTER

While its great that liberals have finally found a mass murder that they dont think can be defeated with a Je Suis Charlie hashtag, theyre either lying or they dont know what theyre talking about. Blacks and Hispanics are extremely well-represented as perpetrators of mass shootings, Muslims are over-represented, and surprisingly, even the usually law-abiding Asians more than hold their own.

Typical Reporter:Yeah, we decided not to go with the mass shootings at the Tennessee church, the Washington Navy Yard, San Bernardino, the Pulse nightclub, Fort Hood, the LIRR, the Carson City IHOP, the Trolley Square Shopping Mall, the Windy City Core Supply warehouse, Virginia Tech, the Binghamton Civic Center, the Hartford Distributors, the hunting tract in Wisconsin, the Appalachian School of Law and on and on and on.

And those are just a few of the famous ones! Its hard to notice whats not there, so its especially annoying that the journalists method of illustrating mass murderers is to assemble pictures of all the mass shooters, but then only show the white guys.

There was one characteristic of white men in abundant evidence at the Las Vegas massacre. Theyre awfully chivalrous, these white male country music fans. Twenty-two thousand people came under sustained, high-powered gunfire and few people, if any, were stomped to death something you cant say for a Black Friday sale at a Long Island mall.

At the Las Vegas concert, men died protecting women, using their bodies as shields and standing up in the middle of gunfire to direct the women to safety. The New York Post reports that one woman said she was running away and a couple of guys said, Hey, come stand behind us, and boom, they went down. Heather Melton has described how she felt her husband, Sonny, being shot in the back, fatally, as he shielded her from the rain of bullets.

Without many facts to go on, the only sweeping conclusion we can make so far is that theres a reason feminism didnt emerge from the country music community.
