"Why of course the people don't want war…. But, after all… it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
ARE YOU SERIOUS? *pokes your forehead* Engage said device please. It's a news story covering an event from 4 years ago that happens to push the hot button of race relations right now. That is the very definition of sensationalistic journalism.
Not to mention dailymail's reputation of course...
Strawman fallacy. If you really need to build up a different scenario just to try to prove your point, it just shows that you're wrong, if not at the least on its basis. But I'll take the bait for the sake of humor. Both would be considered worse in their own category. However, it is still difficult to compare the two; You don't compare Usain Bolt to Michael Phelps, even if they are the fastest at their category.

They weren't convicted for murder.
U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate on Thursday sentenced Shelbie Brooke Richards, 21, of Pearl to eight years in prison on one count each of conspiracy to commit a hate crime and concealing the crime by lying to police.
In a separate hearing earlier Thursday, Wingate also sentenced Sarah Adelia Graves, 22, of Crystal Springs to five years in prison for one count of conspiracy to commit a hate crime.
Conspiracy to commit hate crime, and concealing the crime by lying to the police. Not murder.

Actions is what makes something bad or worse, not the motivation behind it, which was my point. It's not a "strawman fallacy". You should always put action above motivation.

Name one country without anti-immigrant, racists people to some extent.
I could go rant about how little black/poor whites lives seem to matter in the US in too many cases as much as I can rant about my own and almost every other EU country having anti-imigrant parties pissing their pants about a 'muslim takeover'.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
+1. Not to mention the fact that by doing so, you (the poster) would be committing the fallacy "Tu quoque" while simultaneously trying to derail the thread. Think about it, you're trying to belittle a mass murder by saying "well they deserved it. Their people did similar things too."
