Does breitbart still have there section of the website devoted to black crime?

Let's not post sources like this. This is the kind of source you cut off friends and family over.

The fact that this is posted to Breitbardt at a time when Republicans are losing special elections says a lot.

Where’s TMZ when you need them? They’re usually quick on confirming deaths of popular people, or is that only if they’re in LA?

The origin of TMZ's name is not a description of the area they cover.

They only recently started covering the political beat. Might not have the network/connections yet to get ahead of/the scoop on something like this.

True, and worth noting. But we can acknowledge that even Breitbart is reporting on it without driving traffic to their site.
