Two different mass murders of college students happened on November 13, 2022. But only one of them is still in the national news every day. Why is that?

>>also, if the black football players were shot by a white guy, we’d have a national day of mourning by now....

...and a whole lot of free flat screen TV’s and trashed store, for you know, reparations.

Why? Ask the woke lefty media people. Us deplorables have nothing to do with which story gets legs.

Why is that?

Because one was a mass shooting that was immediately solved by arresting a suspect that was already under police watch, and the other was a brutal stabbing murder mystery that had no suspect for several weeks.

Simple. The Idaho murders remained unsolved with the killer or killers on the loose for weeks. The Virginia killer was identified almost immediately so there was no 'drama' or 'intrigue' of a murder being at large.

For those (like the writers of this story) who want to place the race card; the Virginia killings were also black on black murders so the media did everything possible to downplay it like they do with all black on black murders that occur every single day in every urban hellhole across the nation.

Mass killings are only important if the perp is white. If the perp is white and the victims are non-white it is a 'jackpot' for the media in terms of pushing their narrative.

Here's a hint - it's not the brown-haired couple. If they'd been the only two kids to get killed in Idaho, the Idaho killing would be getting the same attention as the killing of the three black kids in Virginia.

It's the two blond girls - they were cute and attractive women get attention and page views. Sometimes the attention is not the kind you want - odds are, one of those blond girls was the one the serial killer was stalking.

Compare and contrast the Wichita Massacre, where two black criminals rape, torture, and murdered two young white couples

The people behind the media are are the tool of those running (and ruining) the country.
Are you entertained?
If we were bored we might get active against it?

Same applies to the Biden files.
It’s all a damn show to keep the people from revolting...because people go on and keep believing this endless planted political crap will bring an end to the insanity.

Screw the media, I am not playing their game anymore.

It goes against the narrative that only white men commit mass killings.

Agree. Additionally, 4 people slaughtered while sleeping in their beds is beyond gruesome and the kind of story that keeps people riveted.

One is a murder mystery, the other is a crime.

Perhaps because in the latter case, the perp was caught almost immediately and his motives were pretty much known

Truth! That however, doesn't stop the (B)urn (L)oot (M)urder crowd from spreading their manure. Nor does it stop those who are easily manipulated from doing it for them.

I agree completely! The second mass murder deserves equal media coverage. The MSM needs to go all in on "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion." So let's help them out and give the second mass murderer equal time with the Idaho mass murderer!

University of Virginia alleged shooter Christopher Darnell Jones faced hazing probe as football player


Christopher Darnell Jones, Jr. is seen in this mugshot released by the The Henrico County Sheriff's Office, Monday November 14, 2022.
Jones is charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of three UVA football players last night.
(The Henrico County Sheriff's Office)

What? Second degree murder? How about cold blooded pre-meditated first degree murder?

I know, we want to say cuz pretty blonde girls.

BUT the truth is the black guys’ killer was immediately known.

There was no mystery. There was a mystery with the pretty blonde girls.

So I don’t quite think this is real discrimination of any kind.

Agreed.

Also, a shooting versus stabbing four sleeping college students to death. One murderer put a lot more work into it.

This is a good question. It is true that hundreds of Native American women go missing every year but if one white woman (especially a young and attractive one) goes missing it dominates the news until resolved.
