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

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

If the assailant had used an "assault weapon" the coverage would be wall-to-wall for weeks. The media exists to demonize semi-automatic rifles that look rad.

Hey - an idea for an interviewee: Andrei Nekrasov (director of 'Magnitsky Act: Behind the Scenes'). He was on the http://Historic.ly podcast and was great. Totally relevant to the Russiagate Hoax too.

Bullshit. The white male mass shooter is narrative that the media loves to push. It would be huge news if this guy was a white male still with the usual posturing on gun control.

Some major differences: 1) Islamic Fundamentalist vs. increasingly disturbed PTSD. 2) choice of weapon. 3) No, the media ignores as best as possible any Islam-centered shooter. So yes, by media's selective behavior, 'black' can still mean 'wrong narrative.'

Really, Mike? Wasn’t the radical Islam of the Pulse nightclub shooter downplayed?
