The suspect being an immigrant is the main reason this will be a multi-day national story. It's a fucked up way to kill someone, but even with that in mind, there's no way they'd make a national story out of a homeless woman being murdered in NYC except to serve a broader agenda.
Oh come off it. Burning someone alive is why it’ll be a multi-day national story.
How can you even say that given that the last multi-day story was a fare jumper being shot at and the one before that was someone being choked to death? Neither of which, to my knowledge, involved immigrants.
Keep stirring that race pot though.
23 people were murdered by fire in 2023.
And "immigrant" isn't a race, but if you're playing ignorant about how this intertwines with current sociopolitical movements (just like the other two national-coverage murders you cite), this isn't a particularly surprising slip up. And if that wasn't enough jumping to "stirring the race pot" paints a pretty clear picture.
Well, there's also the burning person on a subway.
Yeah I mean how often does that happen? Like legitimately?
I don't know. But I'm sure it doesn't happen so much that it would be ignored by the news.
yeah them gosh darn immigrants comin'ere stealin' our murder stories
fucks sake
