Gabby Petitos coverage is not white privilege


It's more to do with the elements of a murder mystery story being there.

Pretty girl. Online following. Goes missing. Boyfriends story makes no sense. Boyfriend goes missing. Her body found.

It's a story with a lot of elements and gaps that provoke mystery, with the obvious connection being that her boyfriend killed her.

So when people say "what about this black guy or indigenous woman who went missing", well beyond reporting them going missing, what else can be said? "In tonight's news, Jane Doe who vanished without a trace still hasn't been found!"

Yeah, media doesn't work like that.

It's a shame that some people had to turn her tragic death into a protest against white privilege.

Somewhere deep in the Amazon, there stands a tree whose soul purpose is to produce the oxygen that you breathe.

You ought to go up to that tree and apologize.

At the FUNERAL it's pointed out how if you're in a relationship like she had you should LEAVE. And that's what this is MAINLY all about, is How GABBY's DEATH is a WARNING for us so that others who are also in ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS like she was know not to STAY in them.

What's more is how they also said on the news that the KILLER probably isn't in that PARK where they're searching for him and probably never was there. In other words, this was a SET UP (leaving his car there as a way to DIVERT ATTENTION away from looking for him elsewhere).

And what that means is we've still got a VERY DANGEROUS person on the LOSE (who may also have MURDERED those other 2 girls). And that also means we're ALL in the SAME kind of DANGER now as GABBY, because IF one of us sees him and were to recognize him, then we could also end up like GABBY.

Because anyone who FOOLS cops into searching for him in a place that he isn't by parking his car there, is also going to be DESPERATE enough to KILL US if we encounter him to keep us from turning him in to the cops who are looking for him.

So the story also becomes one about a possible SERIAL KILLER who's KILLED 3 PEOPLE, who could also still be OUT THERE ANYWHERE, including inside of our own BACKYARD.

Yes, and no. Yes, the story was big news because there was the element of mystery, because she died in a quest for social media fame and that really tapped into the zeitgeist, and because for a while there information was coming fast enough to keep the "Breaking News" headlines coming. And now there's a manhunt, that's got enough potential for more headlines to keep the press interested in the case.

But funny... almost all of the missing or murder cases that stay in the headlines for the long term are missing white females. The media bias is real.
