Of course, there is also the matter of when the victims are certain groups (as in the article above) and the shooters are. Case in point, last year (April 2014), a neo-Nazi POS shit murdered 3 people at a Jewish day care and senior center. I am sure much too his chagrin (and others) no Jews were actually killed. However, the conversations weren't about anti-Semitism, they weren't about the evils of neo-Nazis, no, the conversations turned into conversations about guns and gun control! There are also weren't scores of threads about the event, nor did it garner the number of comments in the threads that were created. The two aren't completely comparable, but there were noticeable differences in its reception.
