Reply to comment by [deleted] in Two Teens Charged in Shooting Outside of Pittsburgh Church by Urbanette

Other articles have a photograph of the 19 year old suspect.

I think the 16 year old's face will be kept private because they are a minor.

Also, don't be a dick.

when you shoot up a funeral you lose you 'minor' status.

The law matters. It's also about protecting the privacy of their family.

I understand your outrage that situations like this are happening in the city but don't let it tempt you into tearing down the framework for a fair and lawful society so you can get a quick fix.

What law exactly? There is no law that prevents a newspaper from reporting a minors identity.

E: I challenge all the uninformed downvoters to cite the law that prevents reporting on a minor. It does not exist.

I'm almost certain you're wrong about that lol

He's right. I finally looked into it a few days later.

There is no law that prohibits the news from naming or using photos of minors suspected of crime.

I’m not. Minors don’t have a legal right to privacy.

Minors are routinely not identified in news reports

That's not because of a law though. Legally a news report can print a minors name all they want.

"Being a dick" = stating facts you don't want to hear.

Of all city of Pittsburgh shootings/murders in which the race of the perp is known in, say, 2022, what were the racial breakdowns of the perps?

You're a dick for making this about media bias. Mass shootings and gang shootings are different types of stories. They get covered differently.

Their names are in the article, other news sources have a photo of the 19 year old. You're complaining about nothing.
