I don't think I'm that callous. Just a question I thought should be asked.
I think if a black NIU graduate showed up and shot 22 people, killed 7 of them, and then killed himself, it would be getting just as much coverage as it is now.

To compare this story's coverage (or any tragedy of a similar scale) to the discovery of an unloaded gun in some 14-year-old kid's backpack is really obtuse.
