Today, what I consider two really big news stories broke.

One concerning an actor who apparently faked his own hate crime, and the other concerning a member of the Coast Guard who was apparently planning a massive terrorist attack, explicitly because he's a huge bigot against minorities.

I'm a little perplexed by the proportion of coverage these two stories are getting in my news sources. Not perplexed. More like disturbed.

If the would-be mass murderer was a bit more brown, it would be all over the news. Just as the white mass shooter is usually captured alive. No connecting issues between those two facts, of course.
