The difference is one happened to a powerful rich white guy and the other happened to powerless Arabs

Yeah, just like when a missing white girl goes missing, it'll be the top regional story.

Unless she might have been a prostitute.

It doesn't matter if she was kidnapped by a big scary immigrant

I think you mean "military age" immigrant. That's the real threat they're pushing these days. "Can't have anyone in their twenties enter the country! That's military age!"

Damn, I can't keep up with all the latest dogwhistles

"Keep the temperature down", "dial down the rhetoric", etc.

It's not "rhetoric" if it's true and if the rhetoric is fascist, we should up the temperature.

Surely you're not suggesting being impolite to fascists? The horror!
