Was it necessary to say he is of Italian descent? I am offended.

Not a problem for me. It’s helpful to know as much about the kind of person who would do this.

The “Italian descent” was used earlier on various initial media reports, so this seems to be repeating it. I would agree it’s not necessary, but perhaps it was said to point out that this was not an outside (foreign) operation. Crimo is hard to place by looks alone on where his ancestry is from; many could assume he came from another part of the world from where we’ve had some infamous incidents of terrorism.

When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for abusing minor children, I don’t recall the headlines saying JEWISH man, Jeffrey Epstein arrested, of Jewish man Harry Wienstien arrested for abusing women, or Jewish senator Al Fraken resigned for abusing women etc……….it is racist to mention he is of Italian descent…….but hey, who controls the media?
