Even though it's all over the major news networks. This tragedy has been pretty much swept under the rug in comparison to the level of grief and attention afforded to a similar and tragic event in CO just weeks ago.
Racism is so ugly. A group of peaceful Sikhs gunned-down in their place of worship deserve just as much attention in social media as do a group of movie-goers, IMO. If we (as a nation) ignore this event does it mean we agree with the white-supremacist shooter...?
Just hours after the CO shootings there were countless threads and graphics honoring the victims of that event. On FB I have counted 3 links to the story since the shootings took place. THREE.
Are there really that many bigots amongst my FB friends (I'd like to think this isn't the case)? I only found out about this even this evening when I was online for the first time all day after a wonderful day in the great outdoors and happened to be scanning a local news site to find information about an accident we happened upon.
As much as the story upsets me, the reaction (or lack thereof) makes me truly ill.
