Interesting to compare how Twitter/the mob is reacting to the Oakland stabbing vs. the Toronto shooting.

Well, it's as close as you're going to find to a natural experiment, as it's two severely mentally ill people making random attacks on women in big cities. There's a persistent meme on twitter that white killers get called mentally ill, while nonwhite killers are terrorists etc.

What I've seen reverses that pattern -- there are mobs in Oakland denouncing the white guy as a white supremacist terrorist, while the media gave a lot of attention to the Toronto killer's mental health issues.

I said it was a persistent meme, not that it was true.
