A lot has been made about how the coverage of this has been less intense than Christchurch, and people are saying it's because the perp(s) were not white guys, and that Muslim extremism has been swept under the rug, but the truth is that while Christchurch was live streamed, there's very on-the-groun media of this event, theres much less spectacle to this, despite the mugh higher death toll. I've seen several camera phone videos, and even though 300+ people died, I've only seen half a dozen actual dead bodies. Had these terrorists given their efforts the ISIS Hollywood treatment, it would have made a bigger splash in international media.

Reddit is just blatantly censoring it.
