People are using this as a soap box to reinforce their own biases and beliefs. This only comes down to an insane guy doing something insane. His avenue was racism... but if that wasn't available, he would have eventually cracked over something else

I agree that both are similar in a way. And it's frustrating to see both viewed and responded to so differently from "society" (read: sheep). It's not fair; it doesn't help; it doesn't promote understanding of what's truly going on.

The CBS radio report had no mention of the races involved.
I assume this would have been the case had the races been reversed with the killer complaining about affirmative action in the past.
Of course, some of you think I am racist for even noticing this discrepancy in how information is presented to us.
Such a tragedy for those victims and their families.

A main problem is the media can now make good advertiser money off of twitter trends. Like when ESPN flipped their business model and Mike Greenburg started simply trying to get topics to trend on twitter. The MSM is pushing out subjects that will trend because it's like low hanging fruit. It looks a bit like Idiocracy.

Maybe the black Panther flag will be banned now?
