Question

During the investigation into Baker's case, it is discovered that he was trying to become a member of The Blades gang and had murdered the girl's parents as part of a gang initiation rite. This gang has a violent history throughout the state. A few weeks later, some members of The Blades brag about the crime in a blog published by the group.

These blogs were a focus of media stories for several nights with extensive commentary by "experts" in the field. The media also highlighted the other entries in The Blades blogs which contained a number of details about violent crimes. The Eagles, a rival gang of The Blades, dislikes the media attention that The Blades gang is receiving and guns down a key member of The Blades to gain attention and make a statement to The Blades.
