Two different mass murders of college students happened on November 13, 2022.
This one is still in the national news every day:

This one is not:

(Image taken from here. Used here under fair use.)
Why is that?
Sex sells.
Black Lives Matter.
Black Deaths? Not so much.
Not because the second group are black, but because the first group had pretty blonde college girls photographed in come hither suggestive poses. Sex always sells.

Perhaps because in the latter case, the perp was caught almost immediately and his motives were pretty much known - compare to the first where it took a very long time to identify and then arrest the perp, and we still don’t know the motives.
What else is there to say about the latter case? at least until there is a trial and sentencing.
Black Lives Matter - To everyone except most Blacks.
In the news biz "negroes killing negroes" is not a story".
In the news biz "whites killing whites" is a story.
One was unsolved and had hot chicks, the other was a violent Negro killing other Negroes.
Were the Blacks murdered by a White person? That’s really the only reason it would become newsworthy for the media (aka Leftist activists).
There wasn’t a nationwide perp search either and the perp was black.
Black on Black crime doesn’t sell.
Mystery attracts interest.
Next silly question?
Maybe because they immediately caught the guy who did the Virginia shooting, while the other one remained a mystery for months?
What were the shooters motives?
it is what it is....
its not right nor fair...
but either is hiding black on white crimes like they don't exist....
5 white guys got shot and hacked to death in Oklahoma several weeks ago....that story disappeared in a heart beat....
also, if the black football players were shot by a white guy, we'd have a national day of mourning by now....
this is our stupid culture....there is no rhyme nor reason to anything.
Because the multinational MSM wants it that way
Remind me that if it is on Wordpress, it’s a blog, and don’t be suckered into clicking the link.
Because the VA shooting was by a known suspect who was quickly apprehended. A motive was well known around the campus. It is the definition of an “opened… and closed” case.
It has nothing to do with race.
In VA is was a revenge for hazing/disrespect shooting.
No one is really sure what is happening in Idaho.
