  • Real question… Why is this kind of thing posted to World News? It’s a horrifying story, but it’s also one incident in one location. Me knowing about it doesn’t help me or anyone else in any way. I guess you could hope that it inspires some gun owners to better secure their firearms, but that’s about it.

    This kinda one-off incidents were all over Reddit. It just exists to stoke people’s anger most of the time, but it’s also super easy to push a specific agenda by posting these horrible, local stories.


  • Getting people riled up about abortion allowed them to get a large segment of voters to support their party. Anti-choice people are largely emotional, single-issue voters. Once you’ve convinced people that your opponents want to allow “baby killing”, you can pretty much count on their votes without having to actually cater to their needs.
