Do you guys know what happened in Portland last night? Is it just being overshadowed by Russiagate? [View all]

So I posted this earlier this morning and it hardly got any interest:

2 Men Killed On Portland Train After Trying To Stop Anti-Muslim Rant

So obviously Russia-gate is a much bigger deal and naturally would garner much more attention on DU, but still I was surprised at how little interest or response there was. It's a really big deal here in Portland and has shaken people up.

So my honest question is, do people know about it? Is it just a big deal here because it always has more impact when it happens close by? And people's attention is on Russiagate with so much happening with that?
