#2 I lived near there in 1983. Within walking distance of my house. It was a great place and there were frequent events attended by multiple races. Everyone got along very well. I can only guess what has transpired since. Restaurants, shops, a church. Really beautiful.

#4 Lack of scene pictures, names of the victims and no post-incident local news video of witness reporting tells you all you need to know about reportage bias!

#10 "popular nightlife district"

Funny, I just heard that exact phrase listening to NPR on the drive back from town. After the national story played, the local newsreader tacked on the phrase "The shooting took place in a popular nightlife district." Just that, nothing more. Must be part of the media kit or something.

#11 They definitely love their stock phrases.

But, I suppose a nightlife district is, by definition, "popular".
