The only question the media would be asking; "was he wearing his 'magic underwear' during the shooting"?What if the Sandy Hook shooter had been a Mormon?
No. They would be hunting for Mormon spokesmen to apologize for Mormons everywhere. And for weeks or months afterwards, any crime involving a Mormon would get more than the usual press coverage.
And bigots with a bad case of confirmation bias would see it as evidence that all Mormons bear watching.
Let's continue this thought.
It is easy for a left winger to grasp that when a Muslim is involved in some heinous act, bigots allow their confirmation bias to run wild and to start demanding drastic actions be taken regarding Muslims in 'Merka and around the globe, demanding they all be watched more closely with more rules put in place to monitor and control them. And a left winger can see how this kind of thinking is ridiculous and a threat to our freedoms.
However, since no Muslim is involved, the bigots are silent on Sandy Hook, and instead it is the left wingers who are allowing their confirmation biases to run wild. Now they are the ones demanding drastic actions be taken regarding every gun owner, and demanding they all be watched more closely and that more rules be put in place to monitor and control them.
And since Sandy Hook, every crime involving a gun gets more media attention than it otherwise would have.
