    An elderly white couple visiting their son’s grave assassinated by a black man. Nothing to see here. No media outrage. No “lynching” headlines. No athletes tweeting that the couple was hunted. This goes on all the time and I’m f***ing fed up. When will people wake up and demand the truth? The media really is our enemy.

    I agree %100. MSM spins to their agenda, only!

    This is heartbreaking. The victims were family friends. Kind and decent people of the best sort. They were visiting their son’s grave, as they did almost daily. I hadn’t seen them in many years but my mother kept in touch occasionally.

    I know absolutely nothing about the shooter or his motive. Does not appear to be anyone connected to the family.

    The police neutralized him.

    Authorities on Friday announced that Delaware State Police fatally shot a homicide suspect during a May 8 incident near the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

    Sheldon C. Francis, 29, of Middletown, died during an exchange of gunfire with troopers in a wooded area near the cemetery, spokeswoman Senior Cpl. Heather Pepper said.

    Francis was located at 12:08 p.m. after running into the wooded area between the cemetery and Brennan Boulevard an hour earlier, police said.

    An arriving BearCat Armored Vehicle “began immediately taking on a significant amount of gunshot rounds from Francis,” and a deadly exchange of gunfire with Special Operations Response Team members ensued, police said.

    Why do police need access to all this scary military stuff?

    It's not like they are expected to show up when someone crazy starts shooting innocent folks going about their daily routine.

    I agree. Same with law abiding citizens. We should be able to own anything they have access to.
