    12 municipal office workers randomly killed in a premeditated mass murder would dominate public dialogue for weeks, if not months in most developed countries. Here in the grand ole USA, we're about 12 hours from the Virginia Beach shooting being gone from the news

        For trolls claiming this is due to the skin color of the assailant, your idiotic paranoia is showing. A white guy killed 12 people in November of last year, and it was gone from the headlines in 48 hours. However, if the killer had shouted "Allahu Akbar" -- breathless coverage

        Yeah, it's also true that if the Virginia Beach killer had been wearing a MAGA hat, it would've been a national outrage cycle for weeks. So what? If the guy had screamed "I'm doing this because I hate Trump," same reaction. Overlaying political narratives always heightens outrage

        Really sad. Most people don't interact much with municipal workers but they make the basic functions of local governance possible. Roads, maintenance, sanitation, utilities, zoning issues, etc.pic.twitter.com/etAWp3SiB1

        The shooter doesn’t fit any narrative worth reporting on apparently.

        Yep. No AR-15 and the shooter wasn’t a known Trump supporter.

        Oh because we must cover Russia collusion hoax and impeachment efforts for obstruction of justice of a non existent crime.

        Be fair. There are a massive number of system critical crises we could be talking about. Granted, we usually waste that time on trivia, but that still leaves a mind boggling quantity of real issues, each demanding priority.

        A cynic would suspect it's because going postal went out of vogue along with serial killers ages ago and the exploitative media and self-serving activists, always chasing a spotlight, dont care any more for these non-spectacles than regular victims who outnumber them by thousands

        Killer used .45 handgun which does not fit the "assault weapon" narrative. Also handgun use links to all inter city killings in most if not all cities (Chicago & Baltimore) long controlled by the D's.

        Maybe we're turning a corner and not giving these monsters the posthumous notoriety...nahhhh, its the lack of political points to be scored.

        I suspect the root cause is something much closer to those physically involved than to the nation as a whole. We can all have sympathy but the solutions, the actions, are varied and contextual.
