It's not tho. Why this shooting and not Columbine? Or Sandy Hook for that matter?

Because the organized left-wing protest machine didn't want to mobilize in a way that would make a sitting Democrat President look bad.

That's my point. There's been incidents and victims forever, and the media has been trying their spins forever. But THIS issue actually comes from the real victims (ib4 paid actors), not just predators capitalizing on an opportunity. Just like the war on terror came from real people's galvanization after 9/11 which wasn't there with other terrorist attacks. Or BLM which was triggered by just one out of thousands of unjust shootings (which DID make the democrat president look really bad and arguably lost the next democrat her election).

You can scapegoat "the machine", but that only works for issues we too young to have had an affect on. But that doesn't work in this situation. We have agency here. The results will be our fault.

(I did just realize that BLM is an earlier example of a movement that our generation has agency in, but it is slighttttly less accessible to a mainstream audience than "never again". But it is the much better movement.)
