White supremacist gangs? Murdering people in Texas? With guns?!! That sounds like a story right up the MSM’s alley. And indeed it was:

• “Texas manhunt for DA’s killer eyes possible Aryan Brotherhood link”
• “White supremacist group possibly involved in slaying of Texas DA”
• “Suspicion in DA Murder Shifts to Aryan Brotherhood”
• “Texas DA death suggests simmering neo-Nazi war could be boiling over”
• “The White Supremacist Group That May Be Targeting Law Enforcement For Revenge”

Thank goodness for Twitter, where at least a few folks believe an investigation should precede a declaration of guilt.

@msnbc or maybe Mexican drug cartels! Or maybe even Martians! How about going and getting facts…like a news service.

Why wait for an objective investigation when you’ve got the hate-spewing Southern Poverty Law Center on the case?

Too bad the sordid truth had to come out and ruin all that lovely speculation.

Unless there’s something inherently racist about a guy shooting 3 people over some stolen monitors. With the SPLC, you never know.

No worries, though. The story is now “local crime,” which as we all know, can be properly ignored.
