Why not news about the victims, their names, their lives and the support they hopefully receive?

Why instead granting the killer his "glorious" 5 minutes of news-time? Why sharing his name, his social media posts? Why quoting your orange face?

Why only the latter and absolutely nothing about the former?

This is always the case. Give the killer the attention. The victims are faceless statistics.

Funny how Trump is being quiet about this one

Oh, he was definitely not quiet about it.

He was definitely insinuating it was a "leftist" shooting.

Maga and Trump: It's a false flag operation that was started when the suspect was 10! The pictures are photoshopped! He's secretly a Democrat! It was the deep state! We're under attack from the liberals! What about his trans roommate?

One of the primary characteristics of malignant narcissism is someone else is always to blame.
