Military casualties not reported by MSM - wonder why?
2005-06-13
Police continue to search for three men in connection with the shootings of two Kirtland Air Force Base airmen Saturday night. Police found the two men at a Nob Hill coffee shop after they stumbled in looking for help. Kirtland officials say one of the airmen was shot multiple times and the other suffered minor injuries. Witnesses say they heard several gunshots and saw the two men bleeding. "I couldn't tell where he was shot or where he was dripping from," recalled witness Georgia Whitson, "but it was like all over his face and it was all coming down his shoulder. He didn't look too good."

Police say the airmen were in an SUV at the time of the shooting. Police are looking for three Hispanic men who were in a red SUV in the area during the shooting. "The motivation for the shooting in unknown at this point," said APD spokesman John Walsh.

#4  Additional background.
That portion of Central Avenue in Albuquerque is a trendy small boutique shopping area near the campus, not the usual gun gallery. For over two weeks on the other side of the tracks near the Old Town district off of Central, the gangs have been firing each other up lately. Its a local quagmire that the mayor (D) and the police have failed to get on handle on. The gangs favorite current mode of transportation is a SUV. It appears that these airmen were just in the wrong model vehicle at this time. Meanwhile, the local papers which frontpage the traditional MSM swampwater from Iraq are not giving this similar play. The local politicos are Dems and the papers are fronts for the DNC. May also have something to do with BRAC - as in let's pull the troops out. Time for the local and national MSM to be pillored on their own words and behaviors.

#1  Three Hispanic men! You're practically acusing a minority of commiting a crime! Racist! Racist! Call the ACLU! Call Amnesty! Call People for the American Way! or maybe call the INS and deport those Assholes to a mexican prison.
