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

5. There have been several threads & responses on the murders & the murderer himself.

It is always of widespread significance when tragedy strikes as a result of hatred and intolerance.
And, to some extent, there is always more local coverage of & response to tragic events because of the increased degree of personal impact felt by the immediate community members.

It may also be of greater local significance if the community is not accustomed to hate-based acts of domestic terrorism Or is not accustomed to violent acts resulting in multiple murders.

So, IMHO, the number of responses your earlier post received is not due to a lack of awareness nor due to a lack of concern, outrage, or compassion on the part of the DU community.

And, honestly, I would find it alarming if the DU response were equal to or greater than that of the immediate local community.

(I realize this may not have been the response you were seeking...
but it is an objective analysis of the factors related to your concerns)
