I'm kinda surprised the attack in Manhattan didn't get any play here. Has it become so common that it doesn't bear mention anymore? Don't mean that in an accusatory way or anything- I'm truthfully amazed it hasn't been brought up.

The victims were all white and white is the new Jew, so it was no loss. And like 8 people died. We’re no where near Holocaust or pogrom levels yet.

I was sitting in Criminology class when everyone's phone started to buzz with the news - someone brought it to the attention of the teacher who sort of brushed it off a bit? I would have appreciated a couple minutes being spent on it, especially since it was criminology class. I mean, I know she had other material to go through but I wish she would have tied it in a bit. It's kind of weird that we're getting desensitized to this - especially since this was the first vehicular-based terror attack done by an ISIS devotee on US soil. We are assuredly going to see more attacks like this in the days to come.

It’s the group. Team Islam are the good guys. Alt Right are the bad guys. They run over 1 person social media breaks.

Also don’t forget a crazy white dude greased like 60 people in Vegas. It’s hard to get attention with a measly 8, unless you are a White Trump supporter.

He's not entirely wrong. Most people on the left news don't care. It doesn't fit any of their narratives.

I would imagine fox news would be losing their shit though. There are a dozen different fear mongering stories they could run about how the evil of Europe is now in the US.

I looked at fox news. It was about half way down the page. A little past the half way mark. Jesus, when did online news get this shitty. CNN.com is just as shitty. So much fucking click bate.

This was at the very top:

I've pretty much tuned out the news. If we're not discussing it here, then I don't need to know about it.
