A child watched a man gun down two women in rural Florida Friday morning, and the only thing the press wants you to know is that someone was arrested.
Lorenzo Coleman, 25, shot and killed two women — ages 25 and 29 — around 8:30 a.m. near North Ninth Street in Immokalee, according to the Collier County Sheriff's Office. A minor witnessed the killings, prompting an additional child abuse charge. Coleman fled in a stolen Dodge Challenger and was arrested roughly two hours later in Lee County. He faces two counts of second-degree murder with a firearm, child abuse, and grand theft auto.
In Pittsburgh the same week, another American is dead for nothing. Joel Ingram, 41, is charged with criminal homicide after police say he shot Dana Faulk, 55, in the head during a road rage dispute over a traffic light, according to PennLive. A witness told police Ingram tailgated Faulk through a tunnel, Faulk brake-checked him, and Ingram pulled alongside and fired two shots into the Nissan SUV. Ingram was arrested 30 minutes later and denied bail.
Here is what neither outlet will tell you: anything about these suspects' immigration status, criminal histories, or how long they have been in this country. The Naples Daily News describes Immokalee's small houses and roaming roosters but won't touch the demographic reality of who lives there and who is committing the violence. Immokalee is a major agricultural community with a large immigrant workforce — that is a demographic fact. Whether Coleman is a citizen, a legal resident, or something else, the press treats it like a state secret.
PennLive reports the bare mechanics of the road rage killing with zero context about Ingram's background.
This is the pattern. The press reports the arrests, describes the crime-scene color, and moves on. They will not ask whether border policy failures put violent people in American communities. They will not ask whether either suspect had prior contact with law enforcement. They will not ask the questions that citizens in those taverns would demand answered.
A child in Immokalee will carry the memory of two women being shot to death. A 55-year-old man in Pittsburgh is dead over a traffic light. The government that swore to protect these communities keeps failing, and the press keeps covering for them by omission.
The question isn't whether every crime is a border crime. The question is why the press refuses to find out.
