People were posting "Why do the media not mention..." type comments before the media had even written their stories. I saw "Muslim attacker = terrorist, white attacker = lone wolf" comments at the same time that literally every media outlet was calling it a terrorist attack.I've decided my interpretation of this - it's not a terrorist attack, it's a murderous hate crime. You don't describe neo-Nazi activities as terrorist unless they're trying to further a political agenda.
People trying to apply the same response to terrorist attacks recently such as "why do the media not make mention of his religion" are way off the mark.
