People should read that NYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/us/charlotte-murder-conservatives-crime.html?searchResultPosition=2 as an illustration of good journalism warped by the values of an ultraliberal journalistic monoculture, the reason why Bari Weiss went rogue from it with her Free Press. One example is the fact the whole question of who's the troll, right or left, taints a decent story of the question of how the perpetrator's long criminal/psychiatric history was handled by the system. Unfortunately one can doubt that story's objectivity because of its polemical context.
However, the consideration of whether more or less attention is paid to black crime by the left or right should include the fact that the liberal bias that black crime is significantly a case of racist mass incarceration encourages people to want to document the race of criminal behavior to retort this assertion when liberal trolls are often playing the race card in the discussion of crime. I would paraphrase Rodney King, a black man beaten by cops in the 1992 LA riot, who said "Why can't we all get along?". I say, Why can't we all be objective. That's as boring as Roland Fryer's (black Harvard economist) finding that deadly force by police is not racially disproportionate but excessive force in making more routine arrests is. I believe that weak-kneed analysis pissed off his liberal colleagues.
