And that right there is
exactly why that was reported so loudly by certain news sources. To
make you think the culprit was an illegal immigrant before any evidence came out. It was done purely to get people angrier.
And this is what the President Elect said just hours after the attack before any real facts were known. He is 100% priming you to blame illegal immigrants. If he's wrong, oh well you're still even more angry about illegal immigrants than you were before. If he's right, he gloats about it and says I told you so for weeks. It's irresponsible as hell and its only purpose is to get his supporters foaming at the mouth.
