      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

          You know what would keep this in the news for more than 12 hours? If the shooter left a manifesto referencing @GovernorVA’s blackface pics.

          And what is really sad is that the people in a position to do something to address these shootings will use these tragedies to play political football.

          After these shootings the low IQ discussion is about the race, religion beliefs of the shooter. High IQ discussion is about difference between high body and low body count incidents. Answer...

          High body count incidents associated with slow police response and no response by bystanders. Examples are Orlando, Parkland and Mumbai, as shown in the recent, gripping film Hotel Mumbai

          I think too, the media needs to stay away from publicizing the shooter. We need to focus on victims and heros. My understanding is information re details has not been released yet. Regardless of any job, it is tragic and horribly sad.

          That’s a really good point. There would probably be a lot fewer of these events if most of these functions were privatized.

          Your new friends on the Right consider local municipal workers criminals and thugs. Remember that.
