And where did I exactly refer to OP specifically, except in your own false interpretation?

Even if you were just referring to the news articles which I just read, no where do they reference Trump himself.  So still you are wrong.  If you actually read an article you would have found out that the rapper was fired on from an Escalade as he LEFT Trump International Beach Resort.  No where is there made a connection to Trump, any right wing violence or any real connection outside of just the location which is part of the article.  Also if you read any of the articles, why this is news isn't because of the location but instead because of a number of incidents in Miami.  Could it be that you are knee jerking a reaction because Trump name was in the headline more than the actual content of the incident.

Wow.... you must be either really bad at reading or really good at reading things that aren't there. Read the article headlines again and then tell me how many prominently feature the word "Trump". And after that you can try to tell me that this wasn't totally deliberate to generate more buzz for an otherwise trivial story.

I propose to you that

1. The exact place of the shooting is irrelevant.

2. The story is trivial.

3. The story wouldn't even have gotten half of the coverage if not somehow the name Trump was involved.

4. Therefore news outlets deliberately used a famous name to create more buzz out of nothing, which is why they put an irrelevant place name in their headlines.

And I know all 4 of these things to be correct.

And yes, this is my reaction to shoddy journalism. I don't very much like shoddy journalism. Do you?
