People were complaining that the Greenville SC incident was ignored by the major media; I was pointing out it was basically ignored by FR as well. Change the note from a complaint about trucking regulations to a note mentioning Israel or Allah and there would have been a several-thousand post thread on it.
Cmon, take any given incident posted to FR at all...any murder, child abuse, vial of ricin...and connect anything at all Islamic or an Arab-sounding name to the story and it will increase the number of posts to the thread by a factor of 10. If some horrible incident doesn't have the correct ethnicity or religion connected with it (of course, now on FR, a Mexican illegal alien will work as well as an Arab) in many cases it will pass without notice on FR.

I agree with your above points, John. It's just that a truck driver complainting about regulations doesn't scare the bejezzes out of me. Jihadists do.
