Dalton never showed any signs of violence around neighbors.

This is basically the template for every story ever about a(n alleged) criminal. Have unsuspecting neighbors say the guy was nice, did neighborly things, and then proceed on with the rest of the story about how horrific the guy is.

It has long been obvious to me that the media's left-lean is due in no small part to laziness. It is easier to "feel" than it is to "think".

They just want to "make a difference".
