Details, Details, Details

A stabbing on the University of Michigan Campus led to the following description of the attacker in the Detroit Free Press:

The alert, sent at 6:22 p.m., asked people to avoid the area of the Zina Pitcher and Catherine Street. A follow up alert, sent at 7:11 p.m., identified a suspect as a heavyset male wearing a white shirt, tie and jeans, and asked anyone who sees him to call 911. 

The Detroit Free Press:  Suspect arrested after stabbing causes emergency alert on University of Michigan campus

Funny how this news article giving the description of the alert failed to mention a rather salient, useful, and kinda distinctive identifying feature. 

I mean, there's a wide range of heavyset males wearing a white shirt, tie and jeans, even in Ann Arbor.

Oh yeah, that identifying feature, courtesy of the helpful campus alert.

You'd think that additional descriptor would be helpful in catching the attacker, but the mainstream media does not.

Anyhoo, the suspect is now thankfully under arrest and in custody. 

Well he is for now, at least until Washtenaw County's progressive prosecutor's focus on racial equity and progressive justice lets him out the revolving door.
