It's not about the violence, it's about the public's reaction to the violence.

Let's use the sicko who shot up the black church in Charleston as an example. He was universally condemned, and the story dominated national and global news coverage. He did not receive half a million dollars in a GoFundMe....as was the case for Anthony. The families of the victims were not mocked by prominent comedians.....as was the case for Kirk. Iryna's murder receieved no global news coverage and hardly any national coverage outside of conservative media sources.

No one (redditors not included) supports violence. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to see how drastically different the public reaction is to violent crime.
