I would argue that most people don't go to the media because there just isn't a news story behind it. Heather Heyer's death was a news story.

Created by a manufactured political narrative. There's no story to tell in real cases because they are real stories & real stories do not serve political agendas.

Another thing you won't see in real crimes are:

Police copter crashing as it leaves the area

Police being called off during the "protest"

Police watching the supposed murder vehicle drive away. [Video surfaced of it leisurely driving out of the area past police patrols]

Picture surfaced from anonymous source that took pictures of the car as the driver was detained, claimed it wasn't the driver in the news.

Public Driver's face does not match the photo in the event.

Bizarre interview of the supposed suspect's mother, before police even speak with her - The license plate number is blurred in that video, but in the original it wasn't.

The above plate was only 2 digits off from the one photographed here which linked back to the same type of vehicle different model.

It was a publicly created fake narrative, most likely entirely manufactured.
