Look Where Aussie Cop Killer Was on Morning of Shooting Media Will NEVER Report This

http://conservativetribune.com/exposed- ... op-killer/

A 15-year-old Muslim boy in Australia shot and killed an employee of a local police department after going to a mosque, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

The unnamed boy shot Curtis Cheng, a finance worker, in the head after Cheng exited the police department at about 4:30 p.m. local time Oct. 2 in the town of Parramatta, New South Wales.

Cheng, a father of two who had worked for the department for 17 years, had just walked out of the building when he was shot by the boy, who continued firing until three police officers responded and killed him.

Police said the teen, who was of Iraqi-Kurdish background, had no police record or anything in his background that would suggest he would commit such a crime. However, police have established that he had visited a local mosque before the attack.

While investigators said they were a “long way from establishing a full picture,” they are handling the murder as an act of terror.

“We are exploring every avenue with regard to why he did what he did,” New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione told reporters. “We have no information that this individual posed this type of threat but … we believe his actions were politically motivated and therefore linked to terrorism.”

“How can someone so young undertake such a chilling act?” New South Wales Premier Mike Baird said. “It doesn’t make sense. It should never have happened. Obviously, we are all lost for words.”

Neil El-Kadomi, chairman of the Parramatta Islamic Association, issued a statement that rather underplayed the day’s events.

“We do not support anyone who does stupid things,” said El-Kadomi. “I strongly condemn such actions.”

To think that this story hasn’t received much play in the international press — much less any coverage of the shooter’s faith or where he last visited — proves the media is simply unwilling to report most aspects of Islamic terrorism.

If his last stop had been a temple or a church, this would be an international case. Long hours of solemn discourse would be given over to the shooting on all major news outlets. Anderson Cooper would be dispatched to New South Wales, and a week of lachrymose reporting would be devoted to Judeo-Christian religious fanaticism and how it moved a teenager to murder.

When the shooter goes to mosque first, the media go silent. Is it because this is all too predictable? Is it because the implications are too politically incorrect? Both?

One thing is for certain — when it comes to Islamic extremism, the media has abandoned its duty to inform on a disgustingly consistent basis.
