Facebook Deletes Profile of Suspected Boulder Shooter as Mainstream Media's Narrative Crumbles
In the mid-afternoon on Monday, 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa allegedly shot and killed 10 people, including 51-year-old police officer Eric Talley, at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store.
Voices from the left immediately assumed that the perpetrator was a right-wing, white male.
Meena Harris, the niece of Vice President Kamala Harris, initially tweeted following the tragedy, “Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country.”
Kamala Harris's controversial niece, Meena Harris, is in the news again, this time for a racially charged tweet that wrongly assumed the Colorado shooter was a White man. She later deleted the tweet.

Feminist author Amy Siskind tweeted on Tuesday that because the shooter was taken into custody alive, he “was almost certainly a white man.”

In other words it was almost certainly a white man (again). If he were Black or Brown he would be dead.
Then, once law enforcement released Alissa’s name and new details emerged that Alissa was a Syrian-born Muslim man, Facebook promptly deleted his profile page from its platform.
Digital producer Blair Miller provided a screenshot on Twitter of a Facebook announcement that the company had “removed accounts for the identified suspect from Facebook and Instagram” pursuant to its “Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy.”
