Ex-NHL player, dead, kicked in the NECK with an ice skate blade by an African American. Not long ago, there were no African Americans in hockey. Suddenly, with mandatory diversity and a culture of BLM resentment against whitey, these types of 'accidents' start happening.

MSM media writes vague allusions to his manner of death and blames lack of neck protection.

Other articles glaze over the dead guy and instead focus on how some people are so racist, pity for the black guy.

Normal person reaction to the murder - and note the informative comments https://youtu.be/Xu7p-3XIaj4

Do media outlets receive instructions to fall in line or is it just habitual to cover up the crimes/identity of the guilty if they are POCs?

Half of the articles don't even mention the killer's name.
Matt Petgrave looked at Adam Johnson (victim) and sliced his neck open with a MMA style kick.

Matt Petgrave "the man whose leg came up"... yes because his leg acted without his knowledge or control.

Unfortunately, the UK only has one camera In a rink so the video footage isn't ideal.

Mens rea? Yes. "Guilty mind" - intention, knowledge, negligence, recklessness, and willful blindness. Actus reus? Yes. Committing an illegal act

Shockingly (?) The NHL has remained silent about the crime, letting it pass by. Instead the narrative seems to be 'neck protection'.

This is the first death, or even first attempted death by blade, so neck protection isn't really the issue.

Matt Petgrave has long been known as a dirty, petty player. Now can he get away with murder because he's black?

MSM is busy doing PR about what a nice guy Petgrave is. Just a great guy. Imagine if the races were reversed.

Not sure how this would be handled under international/cross national law. Presumably a criminal trial would have to occur in Great Britain and the family could personally sue Petgrave in the US.
