Man bombed Wal-Mart because it stopped selling Confederate flags, police say

[Independent voter]

It's only that way because there's a state law that requires every crime to be public record, so the news media gets access to everything on-demand. I'm sure with the same law in place in other large states, you'd see similar results.

Why hasn't Florida revoked that law? Talk about bad publicity for the state.

Honestly, other than the internet being what it is, the law is honestly fine. It lets newspapers inform the public of whats going on. Lets them know the types of crimes, maybe ways to prevent them, etc.

Sadly there are a bunch of crazy as fuck ppl in the world.

Because trying to do that would inevitably be seen of as a big govmint conspiracy - if they've always been open before and now they're not they must now have something to hide.

experience ?

you have experience with terrorism ?

Pattern recognition. Violent crimes committed by whites are typically handwaved as a result of mental illness (even those that would qualify as domestic terrorism, like bombing a Walmart over not selling Confederate battle flags or shooting up a church full of black people to incite a race war) while violent attacks by middle easterners or Muslims are immediately labeled terrorism by American news media.

Must be a slow day on Stormfront.

Actually the opposite is true, most media tend not to identify a muslim as a terrorist or extremist, take the Shooting at FT hood for example, only conservative media called him a terrorist where as all the other media (the majority) tried to not even knowledge the reasons for his actions.
