    Yeah, shooter here, stabber there… But nobody writes about their reasoning. Not so clickbaity? Or nobody can actually figure out why?

      Well when you put a stigma on mental health and you cause a lot of misery with your policies this will happen. Add in climate people are more aggressive when they are hot, and financial uncertainty this is a recipe for disaster.

        My guess is the suspect in custody is a white (likely Christian) male.

        So you claim that being a white male is the reason, my racist “friend”?

          A white male committing a crime drives less clicks. If a Muslim is in custody, we would be seeing more media coverage. If it’s white male in custody less coverage. Media cares about race/religion, I do not.

            Why did you bring up the race question then? I was talking about the reasons for the assault and the lack of public explanation of those reasons.

              Maybe the reason that the news outlets are not chasing the reason for this crime is because of the race or religion of the man in question. Intra-race crimes get less clicks therefore less coverage.

    How many were stabbed at walmart and how many at man in custody? (My brain had way too much trouble with this headline for a few seconds).
