Laken Riley

One incident of one nursing student assaulted and murdered by one undocumented immigrant and we have this universally supported action.
Yet, the response to repeated killings of school students and teachers has been thoughts and prayers, salted with conspiracy theories about government "false flag" plots and "gun grabbers". No Columbine or Margerie Stoneman acts, nothing meaningful.
Not to diminish the title incident, but does anyone else find this peculiar other than it being an opportunity for more anti-immigration actions?

Yes, very peculiar until you realize that the NRA has bought most of the Republicans, and probably some Democrats.

It's called demonization, and people/organizations of bad will specialize in that vile art.
