As hundreds were being gunned down in Paris on Friday, sympathizers with the University of Missouri race protesters expressed outrage online that the media had turned its attention to the terrorist attacks.
For much of last week, demonstrations at Missouri dominated the headlines, as a student group forced the president to resign over a string of racist incidents.
Things took a turn Friday afternoon when news broke of a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris, with nearly nearly 129 innocent victims dead and more than 400 injured.
When still little was known about the terrorist attacks, Missouri sympathizers took to Twitter to condemn the media's coverage of Paris as a means to sweep under the rug the issues in Missouri.
'It's black kids trapped in their rooms in #Mizzou but ya'll talking bout #PrayForParis ... f*** Paris. #PrayFor Mizzou,' one user said in a since-deleted tweet.
As several right-wing media outlets started covering the insensitive tweets, many started deleted the offense comments or setting their accounts to private.
Others proudly defended their tweets and compared the racist incidents that sparked the protests at Missouri as terrorism as well.

I absolutely love these Tweets. It shows exactly who these “Black Lives Matter” types are. Their own words discredit them better than anything I would say about them.
