ABC News, NBC News, CNN and The New York Times spent an entire week headlining the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery and playing up the racial angle but they've all ignored the shocking murder of an elderly white couple by 29-year-old Sheldon C. Francis -- which many suspect may have been a racial "revenge" murder for Arbery.
The story the mainstream media ignored:
Man murders elderly couple, 85 and 86, with 'scoped' rifle, in cold blood, with no prior connection to victims.
Then escapes to local woods for 6 hours during shootout before he was pronounced dead.https://t.co/qLyh4sCNri — Orwell & Goode (@OrwellNGoode) May 13, 2020
From National File, "Gunman With Scoped Rifle Hunts, Kills Elderly Couple Visiting Son's Grave":
An elderly couple who were visiting the grave of their son, who had suffered from Down's Syndrome, were shot in cold blood by a man with a scoped rifle.
The Maryland couple, in their mid-eighties, were gunned down at a Bear, Delaware, graveyard in a merciless unprovoked attack.
The New York Post reports that the gunman, identified as Sheldon C. Francis, 29, from Middleton, was found dead by authorities following the shooting.
A black-clad Francis had gunned down the couple from Elkton on Friday morning, killing the woman later identified as Lidia Marino, 85, at the scene, while the husband later identified as Paul C. Marino, 86, died a day later in hospital.
The Red Elephants shared more details on the story over the weekend after getting a tip from a local source.
Elderly couple Assassinated in Cemetery — Reports Suggest Revenge For Ahmaud Arbery, Shooting May Have Been Racially Motivatedhttps://t.co/RN852WdwJP — K00L Elefante’ (@DaKoolElefante) May 11, 2020
From The Red Elephants:
"He's 29. And no connection (to the victims) at all," [the source said.] He was wearing a black hoodie black pants, black mask, hood up, black gloves, black boots."
"I know the guy had a lot of ammo. It seems as if he set himself up in the ditches with ammo because the police were saying that their drone could see him but they couldn't get eyes on him. He had to have planned this for a while because most people don't know those woods like that."
"Social media posts from Sheldon suggest that he was particularly troubled by the killing of Ahmaud Arbery," MTO News reported. "And authorities are now exploring whether the cemetery shooting may have been racially motivated."
MTO News' reporting has not been confirmed yet by police and it appears any social media accounts he may have had have been scrubbed.
On Wednesday afternoon, I searched the archives of ABC News, NBC News, CNN and The New York Times for "Sheldon C. Francis" and "Sheldon Francis" and found zero stories on the case.
Local CBS News affiliates covered the shooting but CBSNews.com did not.
"Imagine that the circumstances were reversed and if on Friday a young white man had hunted down an elderly black couple visiting their son's grave at a veterans' cemetery," Steve Sailer said in a column on Taki Mag.
"The national media would be in full cry over this racist atrocity," he said. "President Trump would attend the funeral. The prestige press would demand that whatever web sources of information and opinion the gunman had followed should be, First Amendment or not, permanently exterminated."
Sailer continued: "But what happens when it's The Megaphone itself that may have egged on the killer? For example, a search of the New York Times archives finds 104 articles mentioning the name of Ahmaud Arbery so far just in the month of May. That's even more saturation coverage than the Times normally devotes to late-breaking developments in the Emmett Till case."
"The possibility that the cemetery killer was inspired to shoot some random whites by the enormous media hoopla over the still-ambiguous death of Arbery is not something that the prestige press is rushing to look into."
Though the case was covered in a few local news outlets, the national media has effectively instituted a near-total media blackout.
Instead, such as in the case of the New York Times on Tuesday, they've chosen to headline stories about the supposed "racism" of jogging.

Ahmaud Arbery wasn't "jogging". That's a total made-up lie. Like "Hands up don't shoot".
He was be-boppin' down the street until he came to a home under construction. Then he decided to burglarize the place to see if any valuables were laying around that he could steal. Kinda like what Trayvon was doing.

What specifically did he steal? Is it ok to shoot thieves?
#3. To: A K A Stone (#2)
What specifically did he steal?
Nothing that I know of. But that was his intent. And that's the definition of burglary.
I was a juror in a burglary trial. Nothing was taken from the home. The judge explained to all of us that it made no difference. If he entered the home with the intent to steal, it was burglary.
Have you got another reason why Ahmaud Arbery was in that house under construction that a jury would believe as reasonable?
"Is it ok to shoot thieves?"
Sometimes. Moot point. Arbery was not shot because he was a thief. He was shot in self-defense, as the video clearly shows.
#4. To: Deckard (#0)
Just one more case of crackas steal-in ah brutha's bullets!
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

He was not shot in self defense. When the racist hick son was hunting him he reacted. Get your head out of David Dukes stinky asshole.

Arbery made a hard left in front of the truck to attack the son. Right there on the video. He was shot in the hand when he grabbed the barrel of the shotgun.

What I thought. You'll argue a position until asked to present your version. Then you babble.

Those hicks should swing from rope. They murdered an unarmed man. If some asshole hick points a gun at you it you don't have to obey. You're stuck on stupid.
I don't know what he was doing. Some people who don't live in gated communities like you do go to job sites and look for work.
Or maybe he was up to no good. Regardless the hicks you idolize seem guilty and absent new developments should swing from rope.

The asswipe was pointing a gun at him. You're dumb. Now your dumb vigilante is going to be taking it up the ass. At least there will be some justice.
#12. To: A K A Stone (#11)
The asswipe was pointing a gun at him.
That makes Arbery even stupider than I thought. Plus, you don't know that -- it was out of view.
When Arbery saw the truck, he could have simply turned around and jogged back home. Or he could have kept jogging past the truck. Or he could could have stopped and asked what was going on.
Nope. He rushed the gun with the gun, struggled to take it away, and died for his efforts. That's what I see on the video without having to make shit up.
The jury will see that, too.
#13. To: A K A Stone (#10)
Or maybe he was up to no good.
Ya think?
Arbery had a juvenile and adult felony record and Greg McMichael, an ex-cop and investigator with the Brunswick DA’s office, helped with the previous prosecution of Arbery.
So he knew Arbery, knew he was up to no good and, given his past criminal history, could be armed.
#14. To: A K A Stone (#10)
If some asshole hick points a gun at you it you don't have to obey.
Correct. You can die instead.
#15. To: A K A Stone (#10)
Here's your boy back in 2017. Nice citizen.
#16. To: misterwhite (#15)
Why were the cops harassing him? Those cops are idiots. Why didn't they communicate that the man had already had been checked for a weapon. Deputy dipshit tried to taze man because of the pigs lack of communication. I'm sure they would have covered it up if officer dip shit didn't had known how to operate his tazer.
Hmm no warrants.
Hmm no drugs.
Just some piggies harassing a man enjoying himself in the park.
#17. To: misterwhite (#14)
Correct. You can die instead.
At least you admit it. You just don't care. Now the goober is facing murder charges. Those boys sure were dumb.
#18. To: misterwhite (#13)
#19. To: A K A Stone (#18)
Whoa! And here's your innocent boy getting arrested for shoplifting:
#20. To: misterwhite (#19)
So he stole something and the police didn't kill him. What makes you think two stupid chicks can murder him for sport?
#21. To: A K A Stone (#20)
What makes you think two stupid chicks can murder him for sport?
So you don't believe your lyin' eyes. Well, let's hope the jury believes what they see and hear and makes their decision accordingly. As they did in the Zimmerman case.
