theweaselkingVirginia Tech Massacre happens again, 4.75 times over, and yet nobody seems to give two shits. I wonder why? Oh, wait, a Virginia Tech Massacre's been happening AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH for the last FOUR YEARS STRAIGHT.
And those are just the ones Americans are responsible for.
See also: headlines of "worst massacre in US history" that appear to have completely missed a half dozen others where the victims were Americans, and that's leaving alone all the others where the Americans were just the shooters, not the victims. My Lai, anyone?
Why do I keep forgetting that having brown skin means you're not really human? I keep getting told that by Fox and CNN and NBC, over and over again, but it never seems to sink in.
