There’s a lot of weird correlations between the two events and they seemingly got written off and forgotten about like every other mass casualty event in recent times. Maybe it’s because acts of violence like that are so commonplace in our society that it isn’t worth covering for too long anymore. It just seems bizarre. 15 dead, 57 injured in a clearly well planned and executed attack. The story evaporated in less than 2 weeks. Even less for the Trump Hotel attack.
There’s the older ones too. The gunman in Maine who shot up a bowling alley and disappeared. 18 dead, 13 injured. Which spurred a manhunt that lasted 2 days, which to nobody’s surprise ended with a “self-inflicted” gunshot wound. Still no official motive. That story had no longevity either.
Uvalde. 19 children dead, along with 2 teachers and 13 other injuries. The cops, who stood outside and heard the shots ring out, did nothing. No official motive. It seemed to dry up in less than a month.
Do I even need to bring up what happened in Las Vegas in 2017? That story is so fucking illogical it hurts. Guess what? No official motive. At least they pinned the “Islamic Extremist” routine on New Orleans.
Isn’t it just bizarre how these stories keep drying up faster and faster? Columbine happened in 1999 and is still infamous (still no official motive). Not to downplay the events there, but only 15 people died including the perpetrators. How has that stuck to public consciousness more than any of these other events? It seems like people barely even remember them happening, or if they do they seem to be hardly bothered by them. Have any of you noticed that?
