I didn't recognize the name even then.

As for how the media is covering things, I was commenting on how they cover everyone, everywhere, not just this incident. This one made the news because the community reacted violently, and now peacefully.

I meant how media such as local news reports deaths. "If it bleeds, it leads" or another local left-leaning weekly paper with their "Harris County Body Count" reports as they total up for the year. It's all detached, unemotional, and dehumanizing. And it's one of the major reasons why I don't read or watch the local news much any more.
