That since this does not fit "The Narrative" it is ho-hum, just five people murdered.
Now if it was an idiot shooting a dog- that would generate some attention.

(5,455 posts)The Chattanooga, TN and the Charleston, SC shootings both had multiple threads, in multiple forums that remained active for over a week.
This tragedy, committed with a knife or knives, has all of 2 threads with less then 20 posts between them.
So where is the outrage for the 5 people murdered with the a knife? Or does that outrage only occur when a gun is involved?

(22,974 posts)Talk about missing the point.
Perhaps people discuss multiple gun deaths to a greater degree
BECAUSE THEY ARE A MUCH GREATER PROBLEM.

(10,164 posts)I get the outrage when one occurs. There's something uniquely horrifying about a multiple killing.
But the fact remains that mass murders represent a tiny, tiny fraction of all murders. Common, one-at-a-time murders are where our horrific, humiliating death toll comes from...and they get a fraction of the media attention, a fraction of the "mindshare." This strikes me as ridiculous, at least when it comes to formulating policy to reduce the number of murders in this country.
