No news is not necessarily good news--sometimes it's just the media's way of saying, "We don't want to talk about it."
Back in June of this year, Brendan Tevlin, 19 years old, was stopped at a red light at the corners of Ridgeway and Northfield Avenues in West Orange, New Jersey. A car pulled up next to him and the man in the car began shooting at Brendan. He was struck 8 times and later pronounced dead.
It was initially reported to be a random shooting, even though the shooter, Mohammad Ali Brown, a Muslim, said that he shot the victim for revenge of the United States' actions in the Middle East.
Maybe the media would have given in slightly and called it "random road rage." Brown called it a "just kill." But even that was too much for the media. The story got sucked into a black hole.
But there's more to the story: Mohammad Ali Brown killed 3 others in Seattle. He said: "My mission is vengeance . . . Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan . . . all these lives are taken every single day by America, by the government . . . so a life for a life."
