There are about 44 murders every day in the US. Every one of them is reported locally, but how many make national headlines? Only those, it seems, that fit a narrative.

It is more than political "narrative". Many people assume that homicides involve a thuggish criminal stranger. In reality, most killings involve people who have existing relationship (i.e. married couples, business partners, adulterous affairs, parents with children, etc.). They do not headlines since some reporters already know the sad part of human existence where we kill those we already know.

The left likes to say the right is bigoted because they typically oppose hate crimes legislation, BECAUSE it's always a one way crime. A hate crime is a hate crime, anyone can hate anyone for really stupid reasons and one of those stupid reasons is skin color.
