BUCK: This shooting in Texas that occurred, we started off the show on this, the suspect is in custody, and we have four people wounded. I do not believe anyone was fatally shot as of right now. But he is in custody; so he has been caught. He’s a young African-American male. I think he’s 18 years old or maybe a little younger than that.
CLAY: That’s right, Buck. We were talking about off air. It appears to have stemmed from a fight inside of the school in the Arlington, Texas, area. Kids got in a fight; the kid who lost the fight went and got a gun and evidently shot several people but it so far appears that all those people are going to be okay. But, Buck, this story will now enter the memory hole of the way stories such as these always go. If the narrative isn’t able to argue, “Hey, this was a deranged white supremacist shooter,” then it just disappears.
BUCK: Right. You’re not gonna have — we were ready for this — a huge push from Democrats about the need for control or the need for laws. Obviously, this is not going to spur a nationwide talk about systemic racism or white supremacy. There are certain things…
It’s like CNN has a playbook that it has the moment there’s a mass shooting, and there are certain things that we know they’re gonna start saying and going to right away. In this case you won’t see any of that, really. There may be some people calling for gun control. But it won’t be with quite the same vigor that it would have engaged in before.
CLAY: It’ll vanish.
BUCK: There’s something to be said about the way the media covers these things.
