Republican president and Congress, foreign, Olympics taking up story time, not useful to Trump vs. Canada, and the shooter is not the favorite type. Could be a lots of these factors that influence coverage. I am most certain it has nothing to do with a newfound ethical backbone among journalists. Had the kid spray painted a swastika we'd hear about it. Another idea is there are no political interests positioned to feed a big gun control news cycle in the US, or a Canadian shooting may not be capable of setting that off. There's still time for stories of backlash and pouncing Republicans/Conservatives.
Seems like a fairly big story, anyway. CBC is willing to report this individual "started transitioning" four years ago in one of its last bullet points. I see /r/Canada issued an obligatory reminder to not spread hate or misinformation. It is important to be careful.
9 dead, 27 injured in a town of 2400. That's 1.5% of the population hit... incredibly grim.

Veggie Tales is radical entertainment as far as Christian approved programming goes. Each episode has an abundance of musical numbers and relatable (to children) storytelling. That's pizazz... so long as we compare it to Davey and Goliath and not to the latest Incredibles feature.

The internet was a mistake.
This is me:
So I'm not beating up on a potential victim I'll pledge $100 to a Scottish youth charity that looks like it goes to underprivileged (white) Scots so long as we find reasonable suspicion the girl in the video is responding to immediate sexual advances by the man filming her. If there's no such of charity I'll ask locals decide where it should go.
Might have been a low bar, but I dare say I feel reasonably suspicious. If anyone can personally vouch for a Scottish charity that ticks the Scottish, youth (8-16), and/or underprivileged boxes I will likely take your suggestion. Otherwise it will be robot's choice after some vetting.
His co-accused Nadjedzha Belova, 20, is accused of repeatedly seizing and pulling another of the girls by the hair, dragging her to the ground, and punching her on the head to her injury.
That is outrageous. The presence of a woman reportedly behind the camera colored my judgment. It's not as if female accomplices are unable to help abduct girls, tolerate douchebag boyfriends, or assist in beating up pre-teens. It's just a less common combo.
Isn't Canada in the midst of a gun buyback? Seems like a buyback should override any concern over details like what kind of weapon was used. But, the Canadian public may be more discerning than Americans on gun control. Here the type of weapon used is a tertiary consideration, at best. It's a gift to advocates if a shooter uses a scary gun, but none have let a shooting go to waste because it doesn't line up with the bill that's already in the chamber.
